A slight change in the Niseko area regulation

To achieve the balance between the tourism development and environmental conservation, some new regulations will be implemented around Autumn in 2022; the Niseko area’s master plan is to keep the resort area sustainable with the base of beautiful natures and improvement of infrastructure of existing installments in the town.

The implementation work has been under discussion and there will be some slight effect on building regulations at different zones. We will update with the newest versions soon!

After retiring as an Associate Professor at Sapporo Medical University, he started a new chapter in his career about 20 years ago as a pension owner in the Hirafu area. Since then, he has been involved in running cafés and ski rental shops in central Niseko, closely observing the area’s development as one of its early innovators.

He began his real estate career around 15 years ago, and since then, he has been actively involved in various large-scale development projects and commercial property transactions in Niseko.

Fluent in Japanese and supported by a team of Japanese staff, he has built strong relationships with key local figures in the Niseko, Kutchan, and Rusutsu areas. This extensive network allows him to identify and secure undervalued, off-market, and bargain-priced properties before they reach the open market.
