While we all dream of owning our very own luxury ski-in ski-out home in one of the snowiest resorts in the world, sometimes we have to start a little further down the totem pole. However, many investors in Japanese resorts have made their best gains from land – with prices increasing year-on-year and almost no cost to hold.

Whether looking for your own plot to build a home or simply land banking for the next wave of investment, ski resort land in Japan is a great investment and Chris Pickering, CEO and founder of Uchi, has picked out 10 bargains from some of the top ski resorts in the country.

“We currently have over 400 plots of land listed for sale on our multi-listing platform but today I picked out 10 from around Japan – all under $200,000 USD. Starting at only $30,000 USD for a plot of land in the Niseko area, I think we have something for everyone to get excited about in the list below, but if not please visit uchijapan.com/properties anytime to check out the hundreds of ski listings we have from all across Japan’s top resorts.”
