[¥7.6M] 632 Tsubo Kiroro & Niseko Base Land: Ideal for New Chalet

The Heritage of Akaigawa: A Beautiful Caldera Village

Established in 1906, Akaigawa Village takes its name from the Ainu word “Hure-pet” (Red River). The village boasts a truly unique geography, nestled entirely within a massive ancient volcanic caldera basin. Due to its unique inland topography, Akaigawa experiences some of the heaviest and most pristine snowfall in all of Hokkaido—the very foundation of the legendary powder snow at neighboring Kiroro Resort. Recognized for its breathtaking rural landscapes, Akaigawa is proudly registered as one of “The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan.

Priced to Sell: The Ultimate Dual-Resort Base for Your Custom Ski Chalet

This massive 2,089.27 sqm (632 tsubo) plot of land in Akaigawa offers an incredibly rare development opportunity as a strategic dual-resort base. It is located just an 18-minute drive (17.2 km) from the legendary Kiroro Resort, and a highly accessible 40-minute drive (35.1 km) to the world-famous Niseko Hanazono Resort. Furthermore, it is a mere 5-minute drive (4.4 km) to the Akaigawa Caldera Onsen, offering the authentic Japanese hot spring experience that international guests highly desire after a day on the slopes.

This offering is a sale of two contiguous parcels: one designated as wilderness (1,260 sqm) and the other as residential land (829.27 sqm).

The property is purposefully priced at an highly attractive 7,600,000 JPY. This reasonable valuation is because the property is being sold completely “as-is” with the existing structure (a vacant, 50+ year-old former cafe). While the buyer will bear the costs of demolition and land clearing, the seller has factored this directly into the price, allowing you to acquire a massive, utility-connected estate near Kiroro at a fraction of the market rate. This structure leaves you with maximum capital to design and build a brand-new, custom luxury ski chalet or private winter retreat from scratch.

3 Reasons This Land is a Developer’s Dream

・Complete Freedom to Build: Located outside the City Planning Area with no designated zoning, there are no strict Building Coverage Ratio (BCR) or Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits. This gives you the ultimate freedom to design a sprawling mega-chalet or even multiple boutique villas on the massive 632-tsubo lot, ensuring you have ample space for luxury multi-vehicle driveways and essential snow clearing.

・Active Utilities & Infrastructure Advantage: Unlike buying raw, undeveloped forest land, this plot was previously used for a commercial cafe. Public tap water is already connected and active on the property. Waste management is handled via septic tank (jokaso). This pre-existing infrastructure significantly slashes your initial development costs and shortens your construction timeline.

・Insulated from Construction Delays: Having existing public water connections on-site saves you months of municipal applications and excavation, allowing your architect to fast-track the building process.
