Luxurious Blank Canvas in Furano: 325 m² Plot with Mt. Ashibetsu Views—Full Support from Land Purchase to Construction & Resort Operation

Kukan Inc. (Furano, Hokkaido; CEO: Kentaro Yamamoto), an integrated firm specializing in spatial design, real estate development, and resort operations, has launched direct sales of a 325.92 m² (approx. 98 tsubo) plot for ¥3.8M in Furano (Yamabenishicho)—one of the world’s premier snow resort destinations.

16 Mins to Ski Slopes in a Safe, Low-Risk Area—One-Stop Support from Construction to Hospitality Operations & Tax Management

Located just 16 minutes from Furano Ski Resort, this plot sits safely outside all designated hazard zones. Beyond land sales, Kukan provides end-to-end support for remote and overseas buyers—from architectural planning and local builder selection to hospitality setup, post-completion management, and tax representative services.

Creating New Value in Furano’s Yamabe Area by Bridging Local Depopulation and Rising Global Demand

While Furano’s total population declined from 21,636 (May 2019) to 18,991 (September 2026)—highlighting depopulation in areas like Yamabe—its foreign resident population surged 3.3x from 228 to 764. Driven by a desire for world-class powder snow (“JAPOW”) and breathtaking natural scenery, global resort demand is reaching unprecedented highs.

Amid skyrocketing land prices and overdevelopment in central Furano, the Yamabe area—just a short 10-minute drive away—offers peaceful serenity and untouched, majestic landscapes. Kukan capitalizes on the gap between local depopulation and surging global demand. By providing expansive private spaces at accessible prices alongside end-to-end support (design, construction, and management), we remove barriers for remote investors to revitalize local resources and build a sustainable resort market.

3. As a direct sale of company-owned property, no brokerage fees (¥0) are required, saving on standard transaction costs.

“Unquantifiable Luxury”: Mt. Ashibetsu’s Borrowed Scenery Interwoven with Idyllic Pastoral Views

While yields and price metrics are essential in real estate investment, Yamabe’s true value lies in an evocative landscape beyond mere numbers. The irrigation water nourishing Yamabe’s fertile fields travels 26 km, passing through a 2.6 km tunnel built nearly 60 years ago. Cold runoff from snow-capped peaks is warmed in a dedicated reservoir before reaching the paddies—a testament to ancestral wisdom and sophisticated engineering.

On calm early summer mornings, snow-capped Mt. Ashibetsu reflects flawlessly across the mirror-like water of the paddies. As night falls during planting season, a gentle breeze carries the chorus of frogs across the valley. This breathtaking combination of “borrowed scenery and natural soundscapes”—unattainable even in the world’s most elite urban estates—defines the true luxury we propose.
