Overview

Newly built and fully licensed for short-term rental, Hotori House is located in Rankoshi’s Doctors Village on a 1,079 m² forested lot with a crystal-clear creek flowing year-round through the property. A fire pit sits beside the water — perfect for quiet nights under the stars.

Designed and built by a seasoned local craftsman with decades of experience in Hokkaido’s snowy climate, the home is private, quiet, and ready to occupy or operate immediately.

With several other new builds nearby and all homes on large lots, this subdivision is quickly becoming a sought-after area — close to the Moiwa and Annupuri ski hills and surrounded by world-class backcountry terrain.

Summary

Turnkey property with full rental approval in a quiet enclave near some of the best skiing in Niseko. No renovation or licensing required. Suitable for immediate private use, rental income, or both. There aren’t many places left where you can sit by a stream, under a canopy of trees, and still be on the ski slopes in 20 minutes. Fewer still that come fully furnished, rental-ready, and built to Hokkaido standards.
