Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Built before the 1981 earthquake code (older seismic standard)

Source: Estimated from year built

About 488.3 km from the coast
About 479.8 km to the nearest primary school

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.

Municipal conditions and restrictions

Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.

Prior registration with the Akiya Bank system is required

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
