**Where is the main area of your real estate listings?**

Furano, Niseko and Lake Toya, although we sometimes list properties in Osaka and Tokyo too.

**What makes your market attractive to investors right now?**

Our investors are able to make a good rental income from the start and then look forward to capital growth when they resell in the future.

**What is the most exciting thing coming to your market in the near future?**

A lot of visitors are coming to Hokkaido and it will grow even more in the next 5~10 years. It means that the AirBnB business become bigger and the value of the properties are going to increase.

It depends on the property but good rental return (sometimes more than 15%) and definitely profit on resale.

**How is the market now 18 months after the borders reopened?**

A lot of travellers are coming into Hokkaido year-round now, so the sales of AirBnB properties is growing, as is the occupancy of the actual properties. It really feels like it is back to business as normal.

## Your Tips For Investors

**What is your top piece of advice to any foreigner investing in Japanese real estate?**

To find a good business partner is the most important thing. I think this is especially true in Hokkaido which is very rural, so finding a partner can be difficult.

**What should people look for when they consider investing in your market?**

The price, the trend in the market (both in terms of visitation and price changes) and whether they can find a good business partner!

**Do you have any properties available now that are particularly unique or exciting?**

Yes! Just check out our listings and contact us.
