Åppås Priority K.K.
Property Manager
The Sámi languages of Northern Scandinavia have many different words for “snow”. Åppås (pronounced “ōp’pōs”) means an untracked field of snow—a place where you can break your own trail. A place to create your own story.
Åppås Priority was founded based on our personal experience as Niseko property owners. As we managed our own project, property, and rental business, we gained valuable insights and learned that every property and owner is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to property management.
That's why we offer customised services tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each property owner. Our range of services includes property management, project management and rental management.
At Åppås Priority, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of quality in each service, going above and beyond the expectations of both owners and guests.
