Building & Hotel in Sakaemachi Downtown Furano Apartment Block - Rental Zoned Investment

This is a prime investment opportunity to secure an entire apartment block in the heart of Furano, Hokkaido. The two-storey building, constructed in 1988, comprises four 1-bedroom apartments, each featuring a bathroom and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, including a major exterior upgrade with a fresh professional paint finish and extensive interior work, making it ready for immediate use as income-generating accommodation.

The location is exceptionally convenient, situated just 550 meters (an 8-minute walk) from JR Furano Station. It is only 300 meters (a 4-minute walk) to Furano's main street with its shops, restaurants, and services, and a 5-minute walk to the popular tourist hub, Furano Marche. The Furano Ski Area is also easily accessible at 2.9 km away, providing strong rental potential for winter guests. Additional features include off-street parking for 3-4 vehicles and, critically, the property is located in zoning that permits short-term tourist rentals, tapping into Furano's booming year-round rental market.

Furano is a world-renowned destination, famous not only for its exceptional powder snow and ski resorts but also for its stunning summer landscapes. The region's vast lavender fields, particularly at Farm Tomita, create a breathtaking sea of purple that attracts visitors from across the globe. This property offers a rare chance to acquire a fully renovated apartment building in a central location with the right zoning, an increasingly difficult combination to find in Furano.
