It is not greed. It is geometry—of scarce land, tighter codes, and sticky demand… with a growing taste for turnkey urban houses.
This brief draws in part on recent reporting by Nikkei on Tokyo condominium dynamics and the rise of high-end “turnkey” detached houses, alongside public datasets (Tokyo Kantei, MIC Housing & Land Survey, MLIT) and developer disclosures.
Located in the heart of Hirafu Lower Village in Kutchan Town, Hokkaido, this hotel and lodge property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing hospitality asset in one of Japan’s most globally recognized ski destinations. Combining stable income with long-term growth potential, this offering is ideal for investors seeking a foothold in Asia’s premium resort market.
FROM DREAM TO LUXURY TOKYO HOMES NOW START AT ¥20M+/YEAR INCOME
Based on Tokyo Kantei’s July 2025 report on income requirements for new condo purchases
The Tokyo condominium market is undergoing a dramatic transformation. While Japan’s national wages remain relatively flat, the cost of buying a new 70m² condominium in Greater Tokyo is rising at an unprecedented rate. According to Tokyo Kantei’s July 2025 report, the number of train stations where buyers must earn over ¥10 million per year has surged. In fact, income thresholds for central locations now reflect a level of exclusivity once reserved only for the super-rich.
This is not just about real estate prices. It is about what kind of city Tokyo is becoming.
