Strong-earthquake chance
About 6% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years
Source: National earthquake-hazard model
Earthquake code
Built after the 1981 earthquake code
Source: Estimated from year built
  • About 458.2 km from the coast
  • About 467.1 km to the nearest primary school

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.

Municipal conditions and restrictions

Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.

  • Article 3 permission application required with agricultural committee

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
