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.

Work with us

Every message gets a reply from one of the founders. We can talk through the home, help you think about a renovation, and connect you with our Japan partner for buying help. Clear flat-fee pricing, nothing to pay until you decide to go ahead.

Where this data comes from

  • Earthquake-hazard forecast, from the national J-SHIS model (2024).
  • Stations, coastline and schools, from Japan's Ministry of Land mapping data.
