About this home
Twelve minutes walk to Ugo-Honjo station on the Ugo Line; a wood-frame 1984 house with five rooms, a detached woodworking workshop, and the bones for live-work. The tatami needs attention and the workshop walls have damage that'll need a proper look.
Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.
From the listing

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 32,500 yen per sqm, up about 6% over five years (30,700 to 32,500), which the survey classes as rising.
The asking price works out at about 24,735 yen per sqm of land, 25% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 33,000 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.

4 checks clear, 2 to know about. Each check is against a government map for this exact point. Where a map is missing or we can't use it, we say so; that never means there's no risk.
