Kamakura 1 – A Spacious Canadian-Inspired Apartment in Niseko's Heart
Kamakura 1 is a spacious, Canadian-inspired two-bedroom apartment located in the heart of Niseko's popular Hirafu Village. It offers warm timber finishes, modern comforts, and beautiful views towards Mount Yotei. Situated in a central Middle Village location just minutes from restaurants, bars, and the free Hirafu shuttle, it delivers an ideal blend of alpine convenience and relaxed mountain living.
The apartment includes a full, easily accessible garage and owner's storage, which can be used as an additional income stream. Ably managed by Ski Japan, Kamakura 1 has strong returns and flexible management. Key features include a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with contemporary western furnishings, perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Timber finishes and large windows frame the surrounding snowy landscape and capture Mount Yotei vistas from selected outlooks. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms plus modern bathroom facilities, comfortably suited to couples, families, or small groups. The generous sizing of 98m² provides ample space for families or large groups.
Features and amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, ideal for longer stays and self-catering. An internal laundry with washing machine and dryer adds convenience during winter holidays. Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and entertainment options allow you to unwind at home in the evenings. Built-in wardrobes and ample storage are provided for ski gear and winter clothing.
The location and lifestyle are prime. It is situated in Hirafu Middle Village, approximately a 7-minute walk to the Grand Hirafu lifts, with the free shuttle stop only metres away. It is within easy walking distance to many of Niseko's best cafes, restaurants, and après-ski spots, while still benefiting from a quiet village feel. This central Niseko location makes Kamakura 1 an attractive option for both personal use and short-term rental income, tapping into strong winter demand for quality two-bedroom apartments.
The area surrounding Niseko is renowned for its world-class powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. An interesting fact is that the region's famous light, dry snow, known as 'Japow,' is a result of cold air from Siberia picking up moisture over the Sea of Japan before dumping it on Hokkaido's mountains. The closest major landmark is the iconic and perfectly symmetrical Mount Yotei, often called the "Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido," which dominates the skyline and offers spectacular views year-round.
