The Master Plan
Hanacreek is a 17-plot luxury enclave in a unique, forested hillside setting with spectacular views of Mount Yotei and Niseko Annapurni ski mountain, inspiring a master plan that preserves the rich character of the site. The master plan was well thought out: all the plots are spaced a certain distance to maintain the best views, and some of the silver birch and pine trees are left uncut so all the luxury buildings will be amongst the serene green nature during summer.
The native silver birch forest, ever-changing with the seasons, provides cool shade in summer and expansive panoramas in winter, while forested land and a natural reserve have been set aside as a park for communal enjoyment. Roads and sidewalks are designed to minimise the physical and visual impact on the natural habitat, while some parts are heated to ensure safety in winter. Utilities, including power, telecommunications, water and natural onsen connection, are all housed underground.

Hanazono: The Future of Niseko
With tourism and real estate prices on the rise year after year, Niseko assures solid growth for investors. The area’s natural beauty and year-round outdoor activities are its main selling point, from skiing to cycling to golf to hiking. The ease of connection to/from New Chitose Airport and use of the English language in Niseko continues to attract investors from Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Australia, Malaysia and Taiwan.
Yet within Niseko, Hanazono is without doubt the most exciting resort for buyers and investors to consider, with land prices that are highly competitive compared to more popular resorts like Hirafu. What’s more, Hanazono is in fact the newest of Niseko’s ski resorts, and it’s in the midst of a current expansion that includes a new Park Hyatt hotel and residences as well as a new gondola that will connect the resort to neighbouring Weiss Mountain, opening up new terrain for skiers of all abilities.
Given Hanazono’s competitive pricing, potential for price growth, and the fact that there are no restrictions on foreign citizens acquiring freehold ownership of land, an investment in Hanacreek is a safe bet, one that investors around the world will no doubt want to consider.
Location
Hanacreek is distinguished by being in close proximity to a wide array of amenities and infrastructure while still being surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. It’s a 2-minute drive to Hanazono Niseko Ski Resort, 4-minute drive to the town centre of Kutchan, 15-minute drive to Hirafu Village, and just over 2 hours to New Chitose Airport. A forthcoming airport expressway will reduce the driving time to Niseko to 1 hour and 45 minutes, and the entrance is just 5 minutes away from Hanacreek.
In addition, the extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen bullet train to Kutchan is expected to be completed by 2030, which will connect to Niseko to the rest of Japan and make Niseko more accessible than ever before.
