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.

To know about

  • 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

    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.

  • Strong-earthquake chance

    Note

    About 10% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, mid-range for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

    Source: National earthquake-hazard model

  • Flood risk

    Caution

    Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m

    Source: Government hazard map

  • Liquefaction

    Caution

    High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

Checks clear

  • 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.

  • Tsunami risk

    Checked, clear

    Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Thinking of renting it out?

What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.

In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.

  • Local home-sharing ordinance

    No home-sharing ordinance for Fukui Prefecture appears in the Japan Tourism Agency list of 1 April 2021.

    That is not a statement that home-sharing is allowed here: the list may be out of date, and the national rules still apply.

  • Distance to an airport and the shinkansen

    Nearest airport about 8.3 km, nearest shinkansen station about 3.8 km, in a straight line.
