About this home
Built in 1927 in Aka, this single-storey timber house has five-plus rooms and bones worth restoring; the sewer line runs to the property but isn't yet connected, so water and waste routing is a first-fix item.
Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

Area and hazard data
1 to know about, 4 not checked. 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.

- 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 Not checked
- We haven't been able to check earthquake risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Landslide risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check landslide risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Flood risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check flood risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Tsunami risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check tsunami risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Source: Estimated from year built
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.
- Nearby
- Not checked. The station, coast and school layers did not run for this point.
Location
This marks an approximate area, not the exact building. The circle is a rough radius from the listing's published address, so you can see the neighbourhood without us guessing at a precise spot.
