Yamakei Residences was successfully completed during the 2020/21 pandemic.  While the initial years of operations have returned up to 6% rental yield for some unit owners, the best return remains in owning a beautiful and timeless luxury residence in Asia’s most popular ski resort.  

With the town curtailing onsen licenses for new sites and stricter development rules in select regions, Yamakei Residences becomes a priceless one-of-its-kind development where each unit including the smallest two-bedder has its own private onsen.   Warm interior colours and luxurious furnishings provide a surprising contrast to the grey building exterior.  

Meticulous interiors highlight Japanese craftsmanship, such as hinoki trim onsens, Sapporo stone fireplaces, Cassina designer furniture manufactured in Hokkaido, and handcrafted ornamental pieces. Yamakei’s developer, KK Temak Treehouse, was awarded the Best Boutique Developer – Greater Niseko 2020 by Property Guru Asia.

Home owners of Yamakei Residences can enjoy the peace of mind of freehold strata titles, Japanese premium quality construction, and personalised concierge services by Niseko Portfolio. Its lower Hirafu location ensures an exclusive retreat setting in a prime ski town while on-demand shuttle services provides easy access to Niseko ski slopes, restaurants and amenities. 

Travellers can also look forward to further improvements in infrastructure and access. These include the upgrading of ski lifts, road improvements, the extension of the Hokkaido Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Sapporo with a stop in Kutchan as well a new highway connecting Sapporo to Niseko.  The future of this picturesque mountain region is set to grow brighter as Asia’s top ski resort.
