Jozankei Rent Prices in Sapporo 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
At a median of ¥1150/m², Jozankei is technically a SMART_MONEY play because you’re getting resort-adjacent living at a fraction of Chuo-ku prices. However, our neighborhood analysis shows extremely limited inventory, meaning you're often choosing between aging staff housing or rare mountain retreats. It is an unconventional investment outlook for those betting on the remote work trend who don't mind the 60-minute trek to Sapporo Station.
The Vibe:Jozankei is a rugged mountain outpost dominated by massive ryokans and the winding Toyohira River rather than standard apartment blocks. Life here revolves around the Jotetsu Bus schedule and the heavy tourist traffic on National Route 230. It is a quiet, isolated pocket where the sulfur smell of hot springs is more common than the sound of a train.
The median rent price in Jozankei, Sapporo is ¥1,150 per m² per month, 51% below the Sapporo city average of ¥2350/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is commuting to central Sapporo feasible?
Only if you don't mind a 60-plus minute bus ride or a treacherous winter drive down Route 230.
Why are the m² stats based on so few data points?
Most of the land is owned by hotel corporations, making residential rental stock incredibly rare compared to the rest of Sapporo.
What should I look for in a Jozankei rental?
Check the insulation and heating system immediately; mountain winters are significantly harsher here than in the city basin.
How is the parking situation?
Unlike the city center, parking is usually available and cheap, but a 4WD vehicle is non-negotiable for these slopes.
Are there many grocery options?
Local options are slim, mostly restricted to Seicomart; most residents do 'big shops' down in Minami-ku on their way home.
