Global Attention on Biei: Passing Down a Rare Land with 100 Years of History
Following Niseko and Furano, Biei is emerging as Hokkaido’s next premier destination, capturing strong interest from global investors. This site directly adjoins the iconic “Ken & Mary Tree”—a famous landmark recognized since a 1976 Nissan Skyline commercial that continues to attract visitors worldwide.
Preserved by local farming families for over a century, this land has served as the beloved “Pension Ken & Mary” for the past 30 years.
With the owner’s decision to transition due to aging, this project now passes one of Biei’s finest prime locations to forward-looking companies and investment funds to shape its next chapter as a premier resort destination.
Four Investment & Utilization Schemes to Maximize the 20,180 sqm (~6,114 tsubo) Site
The property comprises two zones: the “Pension Ken & Mary Area” (~3,830 sqm / 1,160 tsubo) and the “Cottage Clover Area” (~16,370 sqm / 4,954 tsubo), offering flexible deployment from immediate operations using existing structures to phased large-scale development. JANKEN presents four tailored schemes aligned with investors’ capital phases and business strategies.
①Pension Ken & Mary Area
②Cottage Clover Area
Plan 1: Full Acquisition Scheme (Estimated Price: ¥500M)
Acquire the entire ~20,180 sqm (~6,114 tsubo) site and existing buildings. Investors can design and develop a world-class luxury resort from scratch, leveraging Biei’s iconic, breathtaking natural landscape as a backdrop.
Plan 2: Phased / Fractional Acquisition Scheme
A risk-mitigated plan allowing immediate revenue generation by acquiring the existing pension area first, followed by phased acquisition and expansion of the adjacent plot as the business grows.
Plan 3: Commercial Master Lease Scheme (Estimated Monthly Rent: From ¥1.25M)
Minimize initial CAPEX to launch operations using existing facilities, while flexibly developing new high-end glamping or luxury concepts on the expansive ~16,370 sqm (~4,954 tsubo) site.
Plan 4: Value-Add Hybrid Scheme
A strategy focused on exit performance: rapidly establish operational profitability via leasing, then reposition and sell the asset as a yield-generating property to institutional investors.
