Regional house guide
Hokkaido is Japan's largest prefecture and a two-speed market: international resort money around Niseko and Furano, and much cheaper ordinary houses everywhere else. Winter, not the asking price, decides whether a cheap house is livable.
365 qualifying houses
Sapporo, Hakodate and the ski areas around Niseko offer different starting points; Ainu culture and national parks add depth beyond winter sports. Compare a city neighbourhood with a rural base, then ask who clears the access road and maintains the house during winter absences.

Buying note 1
Sapporo and the New Chitose corridor offer services, jobs, and easier winter access than the rest of the island.
Buying note 2
Rural and resort stock needs a heating, insulation, snow-load, and road-access check before the price looks like a bargain.
