Hakuba Village Mountain Lodge
730m elevation. Mountain views from every room. 553㎡ to build your vision.
4-bedroom ski lodge at 730m elevation in Hakuba Village — 3 hours from Tokyo via Shinkansen and highway bus. Sited in the 大字北城 pension zone, the 553㎡ lot is one of the largest available in active Hakuba resort territory: space to add a deck, hot tub, or dedicated ski room — the amenities that drive premium ADR here. Mountain views from the living room and surrounding mature woodland create a private alpine atmosphere. Renovation required: kitchen, bathrooms, and exterior cladding are original 1993. Hakuba recorded the highest STR metrics of any Japan ski region: $456 ADR and $47,873 median annual revenue (AirROI 2025–2026, 539 active listings). Foreign buyer share exceeded 90% in 2024–25.
Minpaku (short-term rental) status not confirmed. Verify with the municipal office and your agent before completing purchase. STR operation may be restricted to 180 days/yr or prohibited.
