Why Hakuba? A Market on the Rise
Hakuba, located in the heart of the Japanese Alps, is no longer just a hidden gem — it’s a global destination gaining traction among travelers and investors alike. Here’s why Hakuba is one of Japan’s most exciting real estate markets today:
- Unprecedented Land Value Growth According to Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), land prices in Hakuba’s Hokujo district surged by 30.2% in 2024, ranking 4th nationwide for commercial land appreciation. Even more impressive, villa lot prices in the area soared by 32.1%, claiming the top spot in Japan. This remarkable growth signals strong capital appreciation potential for properties like Coopers House.
- Booming Inbound Tourism The post-COVID rebound in international tourism has been a game-changer for Hakuba. In 2024, visitor numbers to Japan reached record highs, with ski resorts like Hakuba benefiting from a surge in travelers from Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and beyond. This influx translates to high demand for premium short-term rentals, ensuring attractive rental yields for property owners.
- Year-Round Appeal While Hakuba is famous for its powdery snow and world-class ski resorts, its appeal extends far beyond winter. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking, and cultural festivals, while spring and autumn offer breathtaking scenery and tranquility. This four-season versatility makes properties like Coopers House a consistent draw for guests year-round.
- International Investor Interest Hakuba’s growing reputation as a global resort destination has caught the attention of international buyers, particularly from English-speaking countries. The area’s accessibility, English-friendly services, and familiarity among foreign visitors make it an ideal entry point for overseas investors looking to tap into Japan’s real estate market.
Coopers House: A Turnkey Investment Opportunity
Coopers House is more than just a beautiful property — it’s a smart investment designed for ease and profitability. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Modern Design Meets Practicality Built in July 2019, Coopers House blends contemporary comfort with the charm of a traditional ski chalet. Its 99.36 sqm interior spans two stories, featuring:
- 3 spacious bedrooms, ideal for families or groups
- 1 open-plan Living-Dining-Kitchen (LDK), perfect for socializing
- 1 bathroom and 2 toilets, ensuring convenience for guests
The 412.00 sqm lot provides ample outdoor space, enhancing the property’s appeal for vacationers seeking a private retreat.
Licensed for Short-Term Rentals Coopers House comes with a coveted Minpaku license, allowing legal operation as a short-term rental property. This flexibility is a major advantage in Hakuba’s thriving vacation rental market, enabling owners to capitalize on peak seasons while retaining the option for personal use.
Prime Location in Misorano The Misorano villa district is a favorite among foreign visitors for its serene setting and easy access to Hakuba’s top attractions. Guests can reach premier ski resorts like Happo-One and Hakuba 47 in minutes, while local restaurants, cafes, and hot springs (onsen) are just a short drive away.
