The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 24,300 yen per sqm, down about 6% over five years (25,900 to 24,300), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 31,376 yen per sqm of land, 29% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 24,300 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

6 checks clear. 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.
