A Prime Development Opportunity in Niseko

Exceptional Location. Significant Potential.

Positioned within easy reach of Niseko’s leading resort destinations, Hirafu East Land presents an exciting opportunity for commercial or residential development in one of Hokkaido’s most sought-after property markets.

Extending to 1,805 tsubo, the site is ideally suited for consideration as a hotel-apartment development or luxury villa complex, subject to planning permissions and applicable development regulations.

Located less than five minutes’ drive from the Hirafu ski lifts and approximately ten minutes from Hanazono and the planned Kutchan Shinkansen station, the property combines excellent accessibility with proximity to Niseko’s established and emerging resort hubs.

A Site with Natural Character

The land benefits from direct road access, mature trees and a gentle sloping gradient, with a beautiful stream running along its western boundary.

These natural features provide an attractive setting for a carefully considered development, offering opportunities to create a distinctive project that complements the surrounding landscape.

A full land survey was completed in March 2023, with all boundary points confirmed and clearly marked, providing a useful foundation for prospective purchasers to assess the site.
