From the listing
I purchased a used house to start a cafe and renovated the residential section and built a shop. I opened the cafe a year ago, but the shop owner, my wife, became ill and we had to close after a few months. Neighbors, community members, and regular customers have asked us to please reopen such an establishment, but I work a different job and live in Kanto for work reasons, so it is difficult to continue the shop. I am looking for someone who could use this house. Several people asked to rent it, but since I live far away, I cannot fulfill my responsibilities as a landlord if something happens, so I have decided to sell. Currently, the shop still has tables, chairs, stove, and refrigerator (some dishes), so it is possible to operate a cafe or other business immediately. It has a dog run; while not large enough for big dogs to run around, it is wider than typical urban cafe dog runs. The second floor was intended for private accommodation and renovation via DIY is incomplete but could be completed with minimal additional work. The residential and shop sections are connected but have a door that can be locked. The kitchen and toilet are separate. The residential section has renovated water facilities, living room, and corridors in clean condition. Before finding this house, I viewed dozens of used properties, but hardly any were move-in ready; most had Buddhist altars left in place, so a house that is ready to live in without any maintenance is surprisingly valuable. There is a tourist spot called Unhenji Temple with heavy car traffic on weekends and holidays. Major travel agencies like JTB have inquiries, suggesting steady demand for cafes, restaurants, and lodging. Many overseas pilgrims visit and sometimes ask where to stay. During the cafe years, there were regular customers who would be delighted if the shop reopens. Originally a dog-friendly cafe, but no restrictions apply if you operate your own business, please open the shop of your dreams. Since it was previously operated as a cafe, permits from health and fire departments have been obtained. Facilities: bathroom dryer, bath reheating function, heated bidet toilet seat, 2 toilets, bathroom window, monitor intercom, 2 kitchens, parking available (6 cars; depends on vehicle type), garden (currently dog run).

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 14,000 yen per sqm, down about 8% over five years (15,300 to 14,000), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 22,041 yen per sqm of land, 57% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 14,000 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
2 checks clear, 2 to know about, 1 not checked. 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Warning
- About 58% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%
- 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.
- 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.
- Tsunami risk Not checked
- No official map covers this area, so we can't check tsunami risk, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Liquefaction Note
- Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.
