From the listing
Small mountain cottage located at the remote end of the Saruyama hamlet. Built by a carpenter for his own use, it is solidly constructed. Features a traditional hearth (irori) and fireplace, offering elements of a hidden retreat. The access road can be narrow with limited passing in places, and first-time visitors may hesitate at first. While it has a sense of seclusion, it is not a completely isolated property. The building was originally built by a carpenter as a second home for himself. The visible beams in the pitched roof show fine craftsmanship and good atmosphere. A traditional hearth is centrally positioned, with a fireplace present, evoking images of enjoyable times spent here. The floor plan is one large room with no separate bedrooms, but features a loft space suitable for one to two sleeping areas. Surrounded by cleared hamlet settlement with houses visible in front, but forest behind the property. A small stream nearby adds to the adventurous setting. Not suited for families with children; ideal for those seeking a minimalist Minohatake lifestyle, confident drivers comfortable engaging directly with nature, where this becomes a playful base. / Remarks: Access via private road (shared ownership of land parcel); as-is transfer

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 63,500 yen per sqm, down about 5% over five years (67,000 to 63,500), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 27,719 yen per sqm of land, 53% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 18,100 yen per sqm.
No recorded sales in this municipality in the official transaction register, so there is no comparable sale to show.

Area and hazard data
5 checks clear, 1 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 Checked, clear
- Built to the current (post-2000) earthquake code
- Strong-earthquake chance Checked, clear
- About 1% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%
- Landslide risk Warning
- In a red (special caution) landslide zone (2 zone(s)), the government's highest category. Building work here needs a permit and insurers will ask. 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 Checked, clear
- Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location
- Liquefaction Checked, clear
- Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here
