Lions Mansion Ishiuchi Maruyama: A Resort-Style Condominium in Niigata
This property is a compact 1K layout condominium located on the 8th floor of the 15-story Lions Mansion Ishiuchi Maruyama in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. The unit offers a total floor area of 36.37 square meters, featuring a Japanese-style room of approximately 8 tatami mats plus a wooden-floored area of about 1.5 tatami mats, with a small kitchen of roughly 1.2 tatami mats. The building was constructed in July 1990 and is part of a large complex of 665 units.
The property is currently under a rental contract, with availability for new occupancy starting from April 2026. A key point to note is that due to a small water heater, bathing in the unit's own bathroom is not possible. The building is described as a high-class resort condominium, featuring a wide array of shared facilities and equipment. Translated agent notes detail the following amenities: BS antenna, sports room, owner-only guest room, tennis court, pool, restaurant, pet-friendly policy, bicycle parking, IH cooking hob, heated toilet seat, indoor washing machine space, air conditioning, internet, and motorcycle parking. Additional building features include hot water supply, auto-lock security, public water supply, drainage purification tank, elevator, front desk service, a free ski locker for each unit, and coin-operated laundry (washing machine and dryer installed on even-numbered floors).
Monthly fees are estimated at approximately 25,366 yen, comprising management, repair reserve, basic water, and special management fees. The property includes access to both indoor and outdoor paid parking, with rates varying between winter and non-winter seasons. The location is highly convenient for ski enthusiasts, situated approximately 3.8km (a 6-minute drive) from the Joetsu Shinkansen's Echigo-Yuzawa Station and about 4.2km (a 7-minute drive) from the Kan-Etsu Expressway's Shiozawa Ishiuchi IC.
The surrounding area of Minamiuonuma and Yuzawa is famous for its incredible powder snow, making it a premier winter sports destination in Japan. An interesting fact is that the region receives some of the heaviest and highest quality snowfall in the world, often dubbed 'Japow' by international skiers and snowboarders. The closest major landmark is the expansive Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Area, one of Japan's largest and most popular ski resorts, located right at the doorstep of this condominium complex.
