REAL ESTATE NEWS
Zekkei has announced plans for its ski-in/ski-out branded residence development on one of Niseko’s most sought-after pieces of blue-chip real estate – at the very highest point of Upper Hirafu Village.
The residences will be operated by esteemed Japanese hotel management company, Hoshino Resorts, under the Hoshinoya brand (full name to be announced later).
Hoshino Resorts says the brand “embodies the true characteristics of land, history, and culture”.
It will be built on the historical site of Niseko’s first onsen (hot spring) hotel, Yamada Onsen, which opened in 1897 and remained on the site until 2010.
The site is at the top of Hirafu Zaka street, above Skye Niseko.
Hoshinoya is popular with high-end Japanese and other international travellers.
There are six Hoshinoya resorts in Japan, and two more internationally.
Zekkei expects the resort to have strong year-round occupancy, partly driven by fans whose visit may primarily be driven by a desire to stay at a Hoshinoya property.
A standout feature of the six-storey condo will host an expansive, mixed-gender rooftop onsen pool overlooking Hirafu Village towards Mt Yotei.
It is expected there will be about 70 units ranging from hotel rooms to 4-bedroom apartments, and include five penthouses.
