The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 16,000 yen per sqm, down about 8% over five years (17,400 to 16,000), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 9,713 yen per sqm of land, 39% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 16,000 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.

Official records

Area and hazard data

3 checks clear, 5 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
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Note
About 14% 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%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

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.

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.

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Source: Government hazard map

Liquefaction
Caution
High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

Source: National landform survey

Volcanic hazard
Note
In Sakurajima's ashfall band, about 43 km from the crater. Ash is a nuisance for roofs, cars and laundry rather than a danger to the house.

Source: Volcano hazard map

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.

Source: Government land-use records

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.
