¥200M Expansive Award-Winning Auberge & Development Land in Nakafurano

An Expansive Auberge Embraced by Nakafurano’s Nature

A premium asset offering the magnificent nature of Hokkaido and the beautiful rural landscapes of Furano has entered the market.Located in Shikauchi Nojo, Nakafurano, this property features a massive 14,783 sqm (approx. 4,471 tsubo) of land and a 2-story wooden accommodation facility built in 2013, offered at ¥200,000,000. Currently operating highly successfully as an exclusive 3-room auberge named “Erba Stella,” it holds immense potential both as a continuing hospitality business and as a large-scale development site for a new resort.

The Story & Backbone of the Owners: From Inspiration to Gold Award Winners

The true value of this property lies in the prestigious brand and rich history created from scratch by the current owner couple over the past decade.

Both owners are “Certified Vegetable Sommelier Pros”—elite specialists in organic agriculture and culinary arts. Following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, they reevaluated their relationship with health, life, and food, choosing Nakafurano as the canvas for their new dream.

The husband, an experienced chef, honed his craft at a prominent lodge in Nikko and an Italian restaurant in Tokyo. The wife utilized her background in product development, public relations, and e-commerce to manage the brand.Since opening in 2013, they have practiced chemical-free, natural cultivation on-site, growing over 100 varieties of crops. Their “vegetable-forward cuisine” quickly gained national acclaim, earning the coveted Gold Award at the 4th Vegetable Sommelier Awards in 2015. Today, their brand has a massive base of repeat guests from across Japan, and their products are highly sought-after items for Nakafurano’s hometown tax program.

Three Core Assets of This Property

• 1. Tokachidake Views & Access to Furano Ski Resort: The site offers wide-ranging views of the Tokachidake mountain range. Moreover, its close proximity to the Furano Ski Resort makes it an ideal accommodation hub for winter skiers, ensuring year-round operational viability.
• 2. Pre-Cultivated Organic Soil: The vast on-site gardens have been farmed naturally without pesticides for over a decade. This rich, clean soil is incredibly valuable for eco-resorts or farm-to-table wellness concepts.
• 3. Multi-Purpose Development Potential: Beyond continuing the boutique auberge, the expansive flat land exceeding 10,000 sqm offers incredible value as a “development site” suited for scaling up into a luxury glamping facility or a cluster of private villas.

Reason for Sale: A Positive Step Forward

Investors may wonder why such a beloved and highly-rated facility is being sold. The reason is entirely positive.

Currently managed by the owner couple, maintaining and operating the massive 4,471-tsubo grounds and facilities with a small team has become physically demanding. The owners wish to downsize and continue their business on a smaller, more manageable scale. This sale is a positive “baton pass,” entrusting this wonderful location to a new owner with a fresh vision.

⚠️ Important Notice: Handover & Inspections

• Handover Timing (Approx. 1 Year): As the facility is highly popular and holds advance bookings, to ensure a smooth transition and honor existing reservations, the handover is scheduled for approximately 1 year from the agreement (negotiable).
• Inspections: To protect the privacy of current guests and the peaceful environment of the operating auberge, unannounced visits or on-site surveys are strictly prohibited. Please contact JANKEN in advance to schedule an official viewing.
