The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 2,820 yen per sqm, down about 6% over five years (3,000 to 2,820), which the survey classes as declining.

Area and hazard data
4 checks clear, 4 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.
- Earthquake code Caution
- Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.
- Strong-earthquake chance Note
- About 12% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, mid-range 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 48 km from the crater. Ash is a nuisance for roofs, cars and laundry rather than a danger to the house.
- Farmland rules Warning
- Inside a strict farmland zone. You will need the agricultural committee's permission to buy or convert, and foreign buyers are often refused.

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.
