North Field Lodge_

One of Hirafu's finest ski lodges is for sale. It offers multiple possibilities as an astute investment for a ski club, school, travel agency, accommodation, restaurant operator, time share promoter, or syndicate of owners.

Located in Hirafu's tranquil east village, Izumikyo 2, this iconic Japanese ski lodge enjoys spectacular views of Mt Yotei. Adjacent to the free shuttle bus stop, the lodge is within easy reach of the ski field, restaurants, and bars

The existing three-level property was fully renovated prior to the start of the 2008/09 winter season. It consists of 13 comfortable bedrooms (six with ensuite), providing accommodation for up to 34 people. The bedrooms are equipped with flat screen televisions and wireless broadband internet is available to all guests. Architectural plans are also available for conversion into an expansive 50+ square luxury private ski residence.

Extensive facilities include a drying and tuning room, a cosy guest lounge with fireplace, a spacious restaurant and bar serving a fine selection of local and imported wines, two Finnish saunas, and two Japanese style baths (ofuro). There is a fully compliant innkeeper's licence, a 10-seater guest van, a snow blower, operational manuals, and a web site (www.north-field.jp/en). Handover training will also be given to the new owner. Any purchaser(s) would acquire the property via the purchase of all the shares in the Australian company.
