Seize a rare freehold gem in Niseko Village's vibrant Higashiyama enclave: a sprawling 1,236 sqm corner plot on two titles, primed for adventure and profit. This dynamic trio of buildings—under a robust 40-guest hotel license—includes a revamped 387 sqm lodge from 1985, boasting 10 cozy bedrooms, a bustling commercial kitchen, 40-seat dining hall, lively bar-lounge, ski storage, drying room, and staff quarters for five, all warmed by underfloor basement heat and kerosene radiators. Fresh 2015 upgrades shine with double-glazed windows, sleek metal siding, new wiring, septic tanks, and fire systems.

Flanking it, a charming 82 sqm two-story house (1992) dazzles with three bedrooms, a loft, open kitchen-living space, and one bath, while a snug 40 sqm studio cabin (1995) offers self-contained bliss with modern bath and convertible storage below. Perched steps from ski lifts with a doorstep bus stop zipping to Niseko United slopes, eateries, and hotspots like the Ritz-Carlton and Hilton, it commands stunning vistas of snow-capped Mt. Yotei, glittering resorts, and whispering birch forests. Sold with website, social media, and all furnishings, this thriving owner-run backpacker haven—once humming with a 30-seat restaurant and 20-spot bar—beckons savvy investors for seamless operations, bold makeovers, or visionary rebuilds in Hokkaido's winter wonderland.
