3LDK Akiya Near Hakuba Station — STR Investment in Nagano's Ski Country
Secure a 3LDK home in the Hakuba Ski Resort area for ¥19,990,000 (about $133,712).
This 3LDK detached house sits in Hakuba, Nagano, within the Hakuba Ski Resort area and close to Hakuba Station. Built in 1981 to the post-1981 seismic standard, it offers 89.42 sqm of building space on 187.77 sqm of land. The property is sold as-is and needs partial renovation, so factor the buyer's renovation budget into your numbers. Hakuba's ski-driven demand makes it a compelling base for short-term rental investors: across 539 area listings, the AirROI 2025–2026 data shows an average daily rate of $456, 35.4% occupancy, and roughly $47,873 in average annual revenue — all area-level figures, not this home's actual income. Tokyo is reachable via the Nagano Shinkansen terminal in about 180 minutes. A renovation-ready foothold in one of Japan's premier snow destinations.
