The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 14,900 yen per sqm, down about 8% over five years (16,200 to 14,900), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 10,084 yen per sqm of land, 32% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 14,900 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.

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.

Landslide risk
Checked, clear

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.

Liquefaction
Note
Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

Volcanic hazard
Note
In Sakurajima's ashfall band, about 16 km from the crater. Ash is a nuisance for roofs, cars and laundry rather than a danger to the house.
