From the listing
The Mito-Sato township where this property is located is known as 'Kagura-no-Sato', the home of traditional performing arts nestled in natural beauty and gentle hills. An old farmhouse inherited by the grandmother and later the mother, along with associated fields, is being offered for sale. The grandmother was a farmer who owned rice paddies, though purchasing with the paddies separated is also possible. The house has been vacant for 20+ years, resulting in floor damage in places and requiring renovation. The house faces a public road with parking space available for approximately 4 vehicles. The land is on level ground with convenient vehicle access. Ideal for those seeking old farmhouse living, a weekend getaway, or vegetable gardening who would appreciate and care for the home the grandmother maintained. / Current condition: Spacious site with fields included. Rice paddies currently leased out (transfer of farming operations can be discussed with agricultural hopefuls). Road-side location on level ground. Electricity pole usage fee charged by Chugoku Electric Power (approximately 3,000 yen annually). Bucket/manual toilet system. Wood-fired bath. No municipal water supply (historically used well water via pump equipment; currently not in use, pump location unknown). Furnishings and items being cleared out.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 3,260 yen per sqm, down about 3% over five years (3,360 to 3,260), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 60 yen per sqm of land, 98% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 3,260 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.

Area and hazard data
4 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Checked, clear
- About 2% 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 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 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 Note
- Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.
