Ideal for a boutique Minpaku or a serene Hokkaido escape within reach of New Chitose Airport.

## A Strategic Retreat: Central to Hokkaido’s Best Destinations

## A Rare Waterfront Sanctuary with Private Fireworks Views

Nestled between the scenic ponds of Kitamura Central Park, this property is a gateway to the authentic Hokkaido landscape. The residence is embraced by water and greenery, offering serene snowscapes in winter and lush vistas in summer.

The ultimate highlight? The living room serves as a private grandstand for the local summer fireworks festival, offering an exclusive experience that few properties in Japan can match.

## Versatile 6LDK Layout: Designed for Hospitality or Large Families

With 166.01 sqm of living space, the house features a functional dual-level design, originally built for two-family living. This layout is exceptionally well-suited for a Minpaku (Vacation Rental) operation:

- Ground Floor (2LDK): Spacious living areas, ideal for communal guest spaces or host quarters.
- Upper Floor (3LDK): Multiple bedrooms for high-occupancy guest groups.

The property is available fully furnished (negotiable), allowing for an immediate start to your hospitality project or your new life in the north.

- High-Performance Insulation: Full external insulation system for maximum thermal efficiency.
- Key Renovations: Full roof replacement in 2021 and updated kitchen/bathroom/boilers in 2020.
- 2025 Certified Inspection: A professional home inspection in April 2025 confirmed the property is in "excellent condition," providing total peace of mind for international buyers.
