Furano Kitanomine House｜Ideal for Monthly Rental, Staff Housing & Ski Vacation – Steps from Ski Lifts

Kitanomine: Japan’s Fastest Growing Resort Area

Furano Ski Resort properties are booming. Kitanomine, the heart of Furano’s ski scene, posted Japan’s highest land price growth in 2025 at 31.3%, beating Hakuba and Miyakojima. A prime choice for investors seeking ski-in/ski-out homes and vacation rentals.

Why Furano Kitanomine Is Driving Property Value Growth

Furano Kitanomine is home to the world-famous Furano Ski Resort, a destination renowned for its premium powder snow and international ski competitions since 1962. This consistent global demand for ski holidays has fueled a surge in real estate prices, making Kitanomine one of Japan’s most desirable areas for vacation homes, ski chalets, and investment properties.

With proximity to ski lifts and year-round tourism appeal, the district offers exceptional potential for both short-term rentals and long-term returns.
