Featured Property: Snow Coast

There are few places in the world where you can chase powder in the morning and paddle out for a surf by sunset. Snow Coast House is one of them.

Tucked along the dramatic "Jade Coast" of western Honshu, just moments from Tozaki Beach and a short drive to world-class ski resorts like Charmant Hiuchi, Lotte Arai, and Hakuba, this three-level coastal hideaway offers a rare fusion of surf-town soul and alpine access. Welcome to Snow Coast—your base for a life lived in rhythm with the elements.

Set over 505 square meters of refined, relaxed living space, Snow Coast House is a bold reimagining of Japanese architectural tradition blended with contemporary Western sensibilities. Designed to accommodate both peaceful retreat and spirited entertaining, the home features:

• A warm and open living room, sunroom, and alfresco areas
• A stylish private bar and formal Japanese dining room
• Spacious kitchen and home office
• 3 double bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms
• Private driveway and carpark
• Fully furnished and move-in ready

Step outside and you’re just a one-minute walk from Tozaki Beach, with Momogawa Beach just five minutes further. The Japan Sea Kubiki Bike & Walking Trail runs right past your door, inviting exploration of the scenic coastline by foot or bike.

Snow Coast isn’t just a house—it’s a complete coastal sanctuary.

On the lower ground floor, a full-footprint basement level houses a gym, ski-tuning room, workshop, and storage—ideal for an active lifestyle. Adjacent sits a charming kura (traditional Japanese storehouse), converted into a flexible bonus space—perfect as a private office, guest suite, or creative studio.

Whether you’re celebrating fresh tracks in the snow or salty days in the surf, this home is designed to flow effortlessly between activity and calm.

Snow Coast House is ideally situated for those who want true seclusion without sacrificing access:

• 1 min to beach
• 10 mins to supermarkets & izakaya
• 30 mins to Charmant Hiuchi ski resort
• 45 mins to Lotte Arai
• 1 hr 15 mins to Hakuba Valley
• 30 mins to Shinkansen at Joetsu or Itoigawa
• 3 hrs to Tokyo / 3.5 hrs to Kyoto via bullet train
• 2 hrs to Kanazawa & regional airports

This rare “ski-to-sea” location is unmatched in Japan—and practically unheard of anywhere else in the world.

Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or a fly-in-fly-out lifestyle, Snow Coast House delivers the perfect blend of nature, design, and adventure. Watch dolphins from your deck. Pour a drink at your own bar. Ride the mountains in the morning and the waves in the afternoon.

Set in Itoigawa, Niigata, Snow Coast House enjoys the rare distinction of being part of Japan’s first UNESCO Global Geopark—an area celebrated for its dramatic coastal landscapes, ancient mountain ranges, and deep cultural roots. Itoigawa is a charming seaside city with a relaxed local pace, yet it offers quick access to amenities like supermarkets, restaurants, and local izakaya, all within a short drive. Plus, with a Shinkansen station just 30 minutes away, you're only three hours door-to-door from Tokyo.

At ¥66,000,000, this is an unparalleled opportunity to own something truly original—where lifestyle leads, and the possibilities are endless.
