From the listing
My mother passed away two years ago and it has been vacant since then. My older sister (current owner) and I have been doing monthly maintenance for these two years. The land has excellent sun exposure because farmland extends to the south. Solid construction with no major expected issues, though it will be approaching 50 years old soon. About 15 minutes from Takasaki Station by car, 7 minutes by private railway - a well-balanced location between downtown and countryside. You can also commute to Tokyo by Shinkansen, so it would be ideal for those working in the city but wanting to live in the countryside. Infrastructure like electricity and water are complete, so immediate occupancy is possible. The only drawback is that heating water uses kerosene, but you can consider switching to electric water heating if inconvenient. Gas previously used propane but is no longer used after switching to IH cooking. Perfect for those doing remote work, occasional office commuting, and vegetable gardening in their free time. Price is negotiable. Timing is also flexible, but occupancy around fall 2026 if possible. You can continue using the air conditioning and furniture as-is.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 24,800 yen per sqm, down about 11% over five years (27,800 to 24,800), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 30,211 yen per sqm of land, 22% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 24,800 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
1 check clear, 4 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.
- 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Note
- About 11% 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%
- 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.
- Flood risk Caution
- Within a mapped flood area, water under 0.5 m
- Tsunami risk Not applicable
- Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
- Liquefaction Note
- Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

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.
