Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.
The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 23,300 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (23,200 to 23,300), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 14,642 yen per sqm of land, 37% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 23,300 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.
