Speak with a specialistWhy We Selected It
Very little in Myoko offers this much usable floorspace in one building, this close to the lifts, in finished condition. The 2022 renovation by Wasabi Chalets Interior Design resolved the hard work — layout, kitchen, bathrooms, art programme — while leaving an entire former restaurant floor untouched and serviced. That combination of a home you can use this winter and a floor you can still shape is what made us take it seriously.
The Home
Detached house · Renovated 2022
A 396 m² chalet above the Sekigawa river in Myoko Kogen, renovated in 2022 and curated as a working piece of interior design — shoji and tatami held against western comfort, with Mt Myoko, Mt Kurohime and Mt Tangram framed from almost every room.
- Six bedrooms sleeping up to sixteen, arranged so several groups can share the house without living on top of each other.
- A grand living room, spacious dining room with bar, and a well-appointed kitchen built for cooking for a full house.
- An upstairs TV room and a sunny conservatory — the two rooms the house is actually lived in during a long snow week.
- Office and two newly renovated bathrooms and toilets; large windows and an open plan carry light through all three mountain views.
- An entire ground floor, formerly a licensed restaurant, with plumbing, electricity and gas already in place.
- Covered entrance, private garage and a self-clearing roof — the practical answer to Myoko's snowfall.
Life Here
Skiing
Akakura lifts a short drive away; Ikenotaira and Suginosawa are the closest of a wide choice of resorts.
Village
Myoko Kogen sports complex and pool, hospital, grocery, 7-Eleven and several restaurants within easy reach.
Summer
Golf at Myoko Kogen, hiking and the river valley once the snow clears — the house is not a winter-only proposition.
Access
Myoko Kogen station nearby; Shinkansen to Joetsumyoko then a short transfer.
Our Perspective
Why it works
Finished, furnished and genuinely characterful, in a destination that is still earlier in its international cycle than Niseko or Hakuba. You buy a house you can enjoy immediately rather than a renovation timeline.
Ownership case
A family base, a turnkey rental, or both. The vendor indicates an estimated 13–16% ROI; we would test that against real licensing, ADR and occupancy before you commit rather than take it as given.
What makes it special
A 396 m² chalet renovated in 2022 and curated as a piece of interior design, with Mt Myoko, Mt Kurohime and Mt Tangram framed from almost every room; a covered entrance, garage and self-clearing roof answer Myoko's snowfall.
Best suited for
Owners who want a large, distinctive winter house with room to grow, and are comfortable running it as a hosted or let property.
