Comfort Naeba: A Resort Condominium in the Heart of Japan's Premier Ski Destination
Comfort Naeba is a prominent 14-story resort condominium complex located directly on Route 17, the main thoroughfare of the Naeba area. Completed in November 1990, this steel-reinforced concrete building offers 234 units and is positioned just an 11-minute walk from the world-renowned Naeba Ski Resort, making it an ideal base for winter sports enthusiasts. The property features a stunning 24-hour observation hot spring bath on the 14th floor, providing residents with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountainous landscape.
The building is well-equipped with extensive shared amenities. These include a front desk, lounge, restaurant (open 18:00-23:00, closed Mondays), a sports room with aerobic bikes, a billiards corner, table tennis facilities, and a coin-operated laundry. A unique feature is the dedicated ski locker provided for each unit. The property is pet-friendly, allowing dogs and cats (up to three total). Management is handled by Angel Community Co., Ltd., with a front desk staffed from 9:00 to 22:00 daily and a 24-hour auto-lock (card key) security system. Parking is available at an adjacent outdoor lot with both hourly and annual pass options.
According to the agent's notes, the property's essential utilities are as follows: Electricity is supplied by Tohoku Electric Power, there is no gas supply, drinking water is provided via a dedicated water line (well water), and drainage is handled by a septic tank. Internet access is available via optical fiber (VDSL, contracted individually per unit, with a limit on the number of contracts) and wireless LAN in the 1st floor lobby.
The Naeba area in Yuzawa Town, Niigata Prefecture, is famed for its incredible powder snow and extensive ski terrain. An interesting fact about the region is that it hosts the annual Fuji Rock Festival, one of the largest outdoor music festivals in Japan, held at the nearby Naeba Ski Resort grounds. The closest major landmark is the Naeba Ski Resort itself, a massive winter sports complex that was once part of the prestigious Princess ski area and continues to attract visitors from across the globe.
