Piste Ishiuchi: A Resort Condominium in the Heart of Niigata's Ski Country
Piste Ishiuchi is a substantial resort condominium complex located in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. Completed in November 1990, this 14-story steel-reinforced concrete building comprises 402 units and offers a robust set of shared amenities tailored for a mountain lifestyle. Its prime location provides direct access to the Ishiuchi Maruyama Hatsuka ski slopes, just a 5-minute walk away, making it an ideal base for winter sports enthusiasts.
The property's essential utilities are detailed in the agent notes: Electricity is supplied by Tohoku Electric Power, there is no gas supply, drinking water is provided by the municipal water system, and drainage is handled by a septic tank system. Additional resident amenities include an annual postal mailbox service available for 1,200 yen per year (limited to permanent residents) and a free parcel delivery box (available only to those who contract the postal mailbox service). The complex is managed by Japan Housing Corporation with a full-service contract, and a front desk is staffed with operating hours from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM (closing at 3:30 PM on Thursdays, closed on Wednesdays).
Shared facilities are a major highlight. Residents have access to a large communal bath (ofuro) with a sauna, which operates on a seasonal schedule. Other amenities include a squash court (currently suspended), a coin-operated laundry with nine washers and dryers, a ski tune-up corner, and individual ski lockers for each unit. The building features 24-hour auto-lock security and offers 97 free outdoor parking spaces.
