About this home
Seven minutes on foot to Aki station on the Asa Line, no car needed, but the river's flood line and the tsunami map both reach this address, so any renovation plan has to start there.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 40,200 yen per sqm, down about 10% over five years (44,800 to 40,200), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 5,220 yen per sqm of land, 90% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 53,200 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
1 check 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.
- 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 Warning
- About 79% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high 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 Caution
- Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m
- Tsunami risk Warning
- In a tsunami inundation zone, expected depth at least 3.0 m
- Liquefaction Note
- Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

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.
