The 5th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Greater Niseko) 2023 celebrate popularity of Japan’s alpine market
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS SEEK OPPORTUNITIES IN INCREASINGLY CONNECTED, EXPANDING PROPERTY MARKET
BANGKOK, Thailand — Organisers of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards have opened the call for entries for Greater Niseko at an opportune time for the world-renowned Japanese holiday property market.

The awards will be announced on an international stage at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok in Thailand, where the best of the best in the region’s real estate will gather to celebrate industry excellence. Submissions are accepted online via: asiapropertyawards.com/
The emergence of increasingly upscale communities and easy access for Asian tourists and second-home buyers continue to contribute to Niseko’s ascent, according to research from Property Report by PropertyGuru, the official magazine of the Awards.
With significant infrastructure developments in the pipeline, including a bullet-train route from Tokyo and a new regional highway, as well as a bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, Greater Niseko is bound for greater prominence in the coming years. While foreign families and individual investors continue to be the primary property buyers in the area, Greater Niseko is seeing renewed interest from Japanese individual and corporate buyers, many of whom are increasingly drawn to the area’s emerging enclaves.
Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “With its world-class hotels and hospitality projects, Greater Niseko continues to be a significant player in Asia’s property landscape, capturing the attention of investors, as well as the judges for the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards. As cross-border travel resumes in Japan, we eagerly anticipate the rebound of tourism in Greater Niseko, and are pleased to recognise and award the development and design firms that are revitalising one of the world’s premier ski resort destinations.”

New chairperson elected
Experts in real estate consultancy, design, and other fields have been assembled to form a panel of judges who will participate in a fair, transparent process of selecting the award recipients. This year, Eddie Guillemette, CEO of Midori no Ki (MnK), will serve as the new chairperson of the independent panel of judges, succeeding Bill Barnett, founder and managing director of C9 Hotelworks, who will remain on the panel.
Eddie Guillemette said: “I’m delighted to announce the resumption of the search for outstanding developments, companies, and design practices in Greater Niseko through the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, in collaboration with an esteemed panel of independent judges. With the revitalisation of Japan’s tourism sector and its close association with the real estate industry, we hold a positive outlook for the Greater Niseko property market this year.”
Bill Barnett said: “Niseko is Asia’s leading alpine real estate market and on the cusp of even greater things with a pipeline of international hotel brands such as Six Senses and Capella adding traction to the branded residences sector. We are optimistic of a significant market uplift this year based on very strong fundamentals.”
The nominees shortlisted by the judges will be able to showcase their companies and projects to a wide network of property seekers, real estate agents, banks and valuers, and enterprises served by PropertyGuru Group (NYSE: PGRU), Southeast Asia’s leading property technology company.
Supervised by HLB, the global network of independent advisory and accounting firms, the awards programme makes full use of a professionally run judging system, with an established reputation for credibility and integrity.

Hotel Niseko Alpen to be Rebuilt and Reopened in Winter 2026
Second entry in the “Value up NISEKO 2030” projectThe birth of a hotel condominium in Niseko’s top location
Scheduled for a Winter 2026 opening
after the rebuilding of the ski-in/ski-out “Hotel Niseko Aspen”
Tokyu Land Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masashi Okada; “Tokyu
Land” below) and Tokyu Resorts & Stays Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO:
Toshihiro Awatsuji; “Tokyu Resorts & Stays” below) announce that as the second entry of their “Value up
NISEKO 2030” project, the companies have made the decision to rebuild the “Hotel Niseko Alpen” in the
Kutchan Town, Hokkaido into a hotel condominium. Located right in front of the state-of-the-art gondola that
will undergo a redesign as the first entry in the project, Hotel Niseko Alpen will be reborn into a hotel
condominium with the top location in Niseko, one that offers direct access to all ski slopes. Note that Hotel
Niseko Alpen in its current form will discontinue its business as of March 31, 2023 in order to undergo
demolition of the existing building. The hotel condominium to take its place is scheduled to open in Winter
2026.
■ Background and Purpose of Rebuilding
Since opening in 1986, Hotel Niseko Aspen has been used by numerous customers, local and otherwise, as
a core hotel of a ski slope. In recent years, the facility has undergone repairs and improvements to a number
of its guest rooms, the updating of its equipment, and other changes as needed. While Tokyu Land and Tokyu
Resorts & Stays had considered large-scale repairs and improvements over time as a means of improving the
value of the area going forward, based on various surveys, the state of dilapidation of the facility, and other
factors, the companies settled a policy of rebuilding the facility outright.
With “Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU,” Tokyu Land and Tokyu Resorts & Stays had bolstered their initiatives
aimed at regional revitalization outside the skiing season, including putting a summer gondola in service and a mountain bike course in place. With the rebuilding of Hotel Niseko Alpen, the companies seek to contribute
to improving the appeal of staying at the hotel as a core facility of a ski slope located in that resort’s core as
well as continue to compel numerous visitors to use the facility with a view to realizing an all-season
international resort.
After its rebuilding, Tokyu Land and Tokyu Resorts & Stays are envisioning that Hotel Niseko Aspen will take
the shape of a hotel condominium containing over 100 guest rooms. The companies will proceed to promote
this plan with a target opening of Winter 2026.
■ The birth of a hotel condominium right in front of a new gondola that connects directly to the
ski slopes
Hotel Niseko Alpen is positioned in a prime ski-in/ski-out location within the Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU
ski resort that also places it right in front of a new gondola scheduled to be rebuilt in Winter 2024. With the
new hotel condominium that it is planning to build, Tokyu Land and Tokyu Resorts & Stays will take full
advantage of this outstanding location to create accommodations that are more comfortable and
environmentally-conscious and are of higher quality. Additionally, in its plans for the facility, the companies
also seek to incorporate prosperity-building initiatives befitting accommodations to be positioned as a resort
core that will also contain the Hirafu Ski Resort Daiichi Parking Area Development Project being planned by
Kutchan Town. Tokyu Land and Tokyu Resorts & Stays will announce details of the hotel condominium,
including its name, an overview and when sales of units will commence, as soon as they have been
determined.
■ About Value up NISEKO 2030
The Value up NISEKO 2030 project is an urban development project intended to address challenges and
revitalize the area through collaborating with the government, local companies, and people in the community
to build the world-class “NISEKO” brand as a resort that aims for sustainable development and a destination
that continues to be chosen by the year 2030. Having executed a comprehensive cooperation agreement for the formation of an all-season international resort to mark the 50 th anniversary of Kutchan’s Ski Town
Declaration, in addition to promoting smart resorts, Tokyu Land will proceed to tackle the improvement of
physical infrastructure such as the updating of cableways on ski slopes as well as non-physical aspects like
measures aimed at making resorts conducive to all-season use while bolstering the company’s regional
affiliations. Moreover, Tokyu Land has decided on the rebuilding of the lift with the most extensive transport
record in Niseko as the first entry in the Value up NISEKO 2030 project, and intends to continue promoting
multiple endeavors that also include a non-physical initiative in the form of commencing demonstration tests
for “Niseko Powder Tokens” as Japan’s first skiing NFT that will be accompanied by “fast track” privileges
starting this Winter season.
