The forest and valleys may be soon developed for villas and hotels like a small village in Niseko Hanazono Area. I heard that some development projects had been suspended because of the steep rise of the construction costs including materials and fuels.
But as you may know, Japanese Yen is so weak and chap now and the labor cost is also very cheap nowadays, the development will soon be resumed and the landscape will change drastically.
I found a new villa under construction beside the way from Niseko to Iwanai Town on the west coast of Hokkaido island. Almost all the villas seemed to be facing Mt. Yotei with beautiful shape of typical Konide. Striking a balance between developments and conservation of nature must require high degrees of intelligence and technology, I think.
