The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 2,700 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (2,700 to 2,700), which the survey classes as stable.
Source: Japan's Ministry of Land land-price survey. A benchmark for the area, not a valuation of this home.
Area and hazard data
2 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Note
- About 20% 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 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.
- 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 Note
- Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.
- 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.
