LYRA by NOZO

Hokkaido continues to attract discerning investors seeking a balance of natural beauty and world-class design. Several exceptional new developments are shaping the region’s luxury real estate landscape:

Kaku Place, Furano – a boutique apartment development offering refined, fully managed residences moments from the ski slopes.

Lyra by Nozo, Furano - an exclusive collection of just 20 private condominium residences, across two boutique buildings in the upper ski village.

Hotel101 Niseko – a hotel-branded residence project featuring 482 fully serviced units, designed for effortless ownership and consistent rental performance.

These projects reflect Hokkaido’s evolution into a four-season destination, combining elegant design, hospitality-grade amenities, and long-term lifestyle appeal.

Yes. Japan welcomes foreign investment in real estate, and there are no restrictions on foreign ownership of land or buildings. International buyers can hold property outright, including new developments, whether for personal use or investment purposes.

While mortgage options may be more limited for non-residents, many clients choose to purchase in cash or through international financing channels. We work closely with trusted legal and financial partners to ensure each transaction proceeds smoothly.

Do note that agricultural or forestry land may have special considerations, and all owners—foreign or domestic—must comply with standard registration requirements. Beyond that, the Japanese market remains one of the most transparent and secure in Asia for property ownership.

When selected carefully, luxury developments in these key regions can represent outstanding long-term investments, both financially and as lifestyle assets.

Niseko has matured into one of the world’s premier alpine destinations, attracting steady international demand and strong rental yields during the winter and summer seasons.

Furano is emerging as a sophisticated alternative to Niseko with strong capital appreciation potential. Increasing international visitor numbers in summer and winter are supporting rental yields and driving new investment.

Tokyo offers exceptional stability, liquidity, and global prestige, positioning it as a core market for investors seeking diversification and capital preservation. Consistent year-on-year price growth and strong rental demand across all 23 wards reinforce its status as one of Asia’s most transparent and resilient real estate markets. Ongoing migration into central Tokyo continues to elevate demand for high-quality housing, further strengthening long-term investment stability and income potential.

While returns depend on factors such as location, developer quality, and rental strategy, the overarching trend is positive. Our clients are drawn not only to the potential for appreciation, but also to the exceptional lifestyle and heritage associated with owning property in Japan’s most sought-after destinations.
