Part 5/10:
Investors seeking ski properties in Niseko benefit from significantly lower costs compared to Western counterparts. A three-bedroom apartment in Niseko might cost around 145 million yen (approximately $1.1 million USD), while similar properties in the US or Europe could cost around three times that amount. This price advantage, combined with Japan’s favorable legal and ownership rights, makes Niseko a particularly attractive investment destination.
Japanese property ownership laws grant foreigners the same rights as Japanese citizens, with no restrictions on ownership or taxation differences. This ease of investment, coupled with the country’s reputation for safety and stability, reassures foreign investors looking for reliable asset management.
