The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 15,700 yen per sqm, down about 15% over five years (18,500 to 15,700), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 89,009 yen per sqm of land, 467% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 15,700 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

5 checks clear, 3 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.

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Checked, clear
Built to the current (post-2000) earthquake code

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Checked, clear
About 2% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Landslide risk
Caution
In a yellow (caution) landslide zone (1 zone(s)). Expect a surveyor to look at the slope behind the house. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

Source: Government hazard map

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 48 km from the crater. Ash is a nuisance for roofs, cars and laundry rather than a danger to the house.
