This is fundamentally different from the two Nagano homes — a separate lifestyle choice. A two-storey timber house of around 140 m², set high above Ishikari Bay with a balcony facing the water, in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
Its defining feature is not the price. It is the combination:
Sea view + real city + skiing + Hokkaido.

How YOIN makes it happen
You own the home. We handle the process.
