From the listing
In Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, a 171.87㎡ detached house with the beautiful Seto Inland Sea spreading right in front. Since there's a place to access the sea directly in front of the property, you can enjoy fishing and sea activities from here. The land is also spacious at 279.99㎡, and with parking available, BBQ and work would feel nice. You could place a sauna in the garden and use the sea as a cold-water bath, pitch a tent for camping, and due to its photogenic nature, it might also be usable as a guesthouse. There's a retaining wall on the back, and the adjacent property doesn't seem to be occupied, so it's a nice situation where you can enjoy it without worrying about neighbors. / It's a convenient location with a convenience store (Family Mart Uwajima Yoshida Fish Market about 7 minutes by car), a swimming beach, and a bath facility (Shio no Yu & Sauna (Akehamamare) about 22 minutes by car). The building requires item removal, cleaning, and repairs, but since it's possible to rebuild, in the future rebuilding it as a seaside villa with an ocean view would also be nice. The lifelines consist of municipal water, LP gas, electricity, and pit toilet sewerage. Quite a bit of furniture and household items remain, and we hope for someone who will take these as they are. Additionally, there is damage from wildlife, so we are planning to hire a specialist. / I'm in a distant location so I'm unable to show the property in person. A key box has been installed, so please conduct your own preliminary inspection of the property. If you're interested, I will provide you with a previous written explanation of important matters for your reference. Immediate transfer is possible. Since there may be discrepancies in area and structure, please be sure to verify the site in person. / Building note: contains unregistered portions

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 9,030 yen per sqm.
The asking price works out at about 3,536 yen per sqm of land, 61% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 9,030 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.

Area and hazard data
2 checks clear, 4 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.
- 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Warning
- About 40% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%
- Landslide risk Caution
- In a yellow (caution) landslide zone (3 zone(s)). Expect a surveyor to look at the slope behind the house. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.
- 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.
- Tsunami risk Warning
- In a tsunami inundation zone, expected depth at least 5.0 m
- Liquefaction Checked, clear
- Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

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.
