From the listing
Was my grandmother's house. After my grandmother passed away, it seems my father was managing it, but my father also passed away 10 years ago. I believe the household furnishings remain as they were. There is forest behind, a shed in front, and a field some distance away. / I'm requesting an as-is transaction, so the price only covers procedure costs and commission. It was left untouched after photos were taken several years ago, but recently we mowed the grass. After several years have passed, the shed was half-collapsed. The house may also be getting dangerous, and I think it's probably uninhabitable. I'm requesting an as-is transaction. / Current condition: Both the house and shed have belongings remaining inside unchanged.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 19,400 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (19,300 to 19,400), which the survey classes as stable.

Area and hazard data
5 checks clear, 2 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Checked, clear
- About 4% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low 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 Checked, clear
- Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location
- Liquefaction Checked, clear
- Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here
- Volcanic hazard Note
- In Sakurajima's ashfall band, about 22 km from the crater. Ash is a nuisance for roofs, cars and laundry rather than a danger to the house.
- Farmland rules Note
- Inside an outer farmland zone. The plot itself may or may not be classed as farmland; ask the town before you commit.
