From the listing

This is my family home. Built in Showa 51 (1976), it has been renovated so you can move in immediately. Located approximately 60 minutes by car from Asahikawa Station. The property has solar panels generating annual electricity sales revenue of approximately 60,000-70,000 yen, though usage reduces this amount. The reduction translates to lower electricity costs. When home ownership is transferred, the solar panel name registration must be handled by the buyer. I can explain this in detail. The surroundings are quiet with a highway bypass nearby. The nearest JR station is Aibetsu Station, a 400m walk away, with a bus stop at the same location. Please contact me if interested in purchasing. If you wish to view the property in person, I work during the day but can arrange visits after 6 PM. / The sale price is as stated below. When home transfer is finalized, solar panel name registration transfer will be necessary. The buyer must handle this themselves. Registration takes approximately 4 months. I can provide guidance on this. Although it's in a rural area, it may be ideal for people who prefer quiet locations. New toilet and bathroom vanity, electric water heater with parts replaced in August last year and inspected, television compatible with Potet cable, carport, separate parking lot, storage shed, solar panel system, stove provided, and cold-weather water plumbing upgrades installed. Deep-night electricity rate contract applies. The kitchen dishwasher has not been used so its condition is unknown. It may be broken, so please accept the property in its current as-is condition. / Current condition: Ready to move into immediately.

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 2,850 yen per sqm, down about 14% over five years (3,300 to 2,850), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 7,224 yen per sqm of land, 153% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 2,850 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

5 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.

Hazards and ground
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.

Source: Estimated from year built

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%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

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.

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.

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Source: Government hazard map

Liquefaction
Checked, clear
Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

Source: National landform survey

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.
