A little about Niseko

“Niseko is Asia’s booming 4 season resort” Situated in Hokkaido on Japan’s most northerly islands, Niseko was once a “locals-only” snow town, but is now being heralded as one of Asia’s foremost resort locations and of the world’s finest ski destinations.

Famous for its breathtaking nature and world class powder snow, over the past 5 years, Niseko has experienced massive growth. Figures speak for themselves, with annual international tourist numbers increasing 14 fold since 2002 (Kutchan Tourism Board).

Niseko’s fame stemmed from its endless showers of feather-like powder snow, however in recent years, the charm of its spring, summer and autumns have been slowly discovered, as it evolves into one of Asia’s premier all year round resorts. Niseko is now host to summer events such as Niseko Cycle Week, Niseko Golf Week and the NAC Adventure Races Series.

A little about the Niseko and Japan real estate market

“Japan, one of the world’s most promising investment destinations” Japan, has the world’s second largest economy, is also one of the world’s most promising investment destinations. After its fall in the 90′s, Japan’s economy has been on the consistent incline and is now making what is reportedly the longest and steadies economical comeback in its post-was history.

With the value of the yen and interest rates still sitting at an all-time low, this translates to increased purchasing power per dollar, presenting foreign buyers with an extremely attractive platform for inbound investment.

* Low yen interest rates available

* Large international corporations are continually recognizing Japan as an investment and tourism destination and establishing themselves in Japan as quickly as possible.

Nicknamed ‘the land of the rising sun’, Japan is certainly one of the most intriguing countries in the world, setting the supreme wealth and economic prowess of a westernised country against a culturally distinct eastern backdrop.Tokyo is Japan’s capital and the country’s largest city. Tokyo as you know is one of the busiest cities in the world. Not only is this but it is one of the most populous cities in the world as well. But thanks to the miniaturization architecture and legendry thinking of people behind the show that Tokyo is full of a large number of apartments, rooms, villas and buildings. While in Tokyo either for fun or tourist reasons or wish to live there you are bound to find several options to choose from when it comes to apartments. Ranging from small sized to large sized, fully services to rental apartments, furnished to semi-furnished or even unfurnished, you can find your perfect apartment there.

Believe it or not, small means Japan in many ways. And it also holds very true when it comes to even apartments. In fact, the small size of Japanese living space is legendary in many ways, however, that is only possible when you will yourself see it once. In this relatively smaller city with high population, you can find tons of different choices for apartments. Not just the types and facilities provided there in these apartments but you can find a large variety when it comes to price tag. Starting from just a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars (also in equivalent Japanese yen) you can find tons of different options to choose from.

However, if you are a busy corporate executive who is in Tokyo for a few months then definitely you will go for a fully furnished apartment in Tokyo for obvious reasons. However, if you hail from the U.S. or European countries then you may feel a little awkward when it comes to Tokyo apartments as they are smaller in size with a lot of technologies involved to save space, such as moving or folding bedding arrangements, small size kitchens, toilets and bathrooms. But overall, you will notice every Tokyo apartment as a masterpiece in itself with space saving technology and architecture. Of course the credit surely goes to the scarcity of space in this already densely populated city where land seems to be at an absolute premium. Nowadays, with the revolution of the Internet and ecommerce, you can do everything from choosing your perfect serviced apartment within your range to ask the staff members to arrange anything that you need ready when you actually arrive.
