Strong-earthquake chance
About 13% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years
Source: National earthquake-hazard model
Earthquake code

Source: Estimated from year built
  • About 634.6 km from the coast
  • About 646.5 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.

  • Water supply installation requires application for water supply facility work.
  • Acquiring agricultural land requires procedures with the agricultural committee.

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