Kutchan Niseko Ski Chalet — Minpaku Licensed

Minpaku operation confirmed in listing. 322㎡ beside Niseko United. $445 ADR market. Japan's #1 ski resort.

3-bedroom chalet in Kutchan — access town for Niseko United, consistently ranked among the world's best ski areas for powder snow. This listing explicitly confirms minpaku operation is permitted — a rare advantage in Kutchan where strict regulations limit STR licences. Built 2001, post-2000 seismic standard, requiring only light refresh before STR launch. Kutchan's Airbnb market records $439 ADR and $33,144 median annual revenue across 385 listings (AirROI 2025–2026) — driven by demand from Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and North America. Total investment ¥56.7–60.1M, payback 10.8–11.4 years. Niseko/Kutchan land prices appreciated 30–50% over 2021–2024.
