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 22,600 yen per sqm, down about 14% over five years (26,300 to 22,600), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 4,750 yen per sqm of land, 79% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 22,600 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.

Official records

Area and hazard data

3 checks clear, 1 to know about, 1 not applicable. 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.

Hazards and ground
Strong-earthquake chance
Checked, clear
About 0% 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
Caution
In a yellow (caution) landslide zone (1 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.

Source: Government hazard map

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
Not applicable
Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
Liquefaction
Checked, clear
Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here
