About this home

Nine minutes on foot to Shimodate, on the Moka Line; no car needed.

The Gokō River puts it in a flood zone (0.5 to 3 m) and the ground here liquefies readily, so I'd weigh that before the walk sells you.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 41,000 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (41,000 to 41,000), which the survey classes as stable.

The asking price works out at about 12,079 yen per sqm of land, 71% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 41,000 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.
