About this home

Two-storey wooden house, 1969, six rooms across two floors; brown and white exterior that reads genuine period rather than cutesy.

Kitchen roof leaks, plumbing needs work, visible age throughout, but the bones are there and partition walls come down easily if you want it open-plan.

Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

From the listing

A charming first-time visit feels like coming home! A standard single-family home with a garden. A wooden structure featuring beige and white two-tone exterior walls. The old-fashioned appearance gives visitors a nostalgic atmosphere upon first visit. The floor plan has 4 rooms on the 1st floor and 2 rooms on the 2nd floor (6K total), with a more spacious layout than the exterior suggests. At 57 years old, inevitable deterioration is visible, but there is potential for renovation enthusiasts. Many rooms with more potential than appearance suggests! Though the 6K floor plan has one small room, it is recommended to remove partitions for a more spacious living arrangement. Kitchen leak detected and requires repair. Toilets, bathrooms, and all plumbing are old and require renovation. The retro exterior color is nice but also needs repairs. With many necessary repairs, please visit for inspection. Convenient location near the sea with wide roads nearby. Located on the road from Funakoshi to Washigasu in the island center, with a wide road adjacent, making moving relatively easy. Close to a swimming beach with an open and expansive seaside location, a major plus. Although the building is old, the garden and many rooms provide ample private space for family living. There is a space for home vegetable gardening, which is a nice feature. A single-family home with good surroundings and clear views, 5 minutes from Yura Port. Recommended for those who want to try various DIY projects. ※Floor area and construction year are approximate figures as accurate information could not be obtained. *Due to urbanization control designation and other requirements, rebuilding may be difficult even if lease or purchase is possible. Please note.

Official records

Area and hazard data

3 checks clear, 3 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.

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Warning
About 41% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Landslide risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated landslide zone at this location. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

Source: Government hazard map

Flood risk
Checked, clear
Checked: outside a mapped flood area. The maps cover designated rivers only, so this is not a promise of no flooding.

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Source: Government hazard map

Liquefaction
Note
Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

Source: National landform survey

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
