The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 15,500 yen per sqm, down about 6% over five years (16,500 to 15,500), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 11,565 yen per sqm of land, 25% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 15,500 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.

Thinking of renting it out?

What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.

In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.

  • Bank rule on living in the home

    Unknown does not mean permitted. The bank or the town can say whether buyers are expected to live in the home.

    Unknown does not mean permitted. The bank can say whether a resale restriction applies.

  • Local home-sharing ordinance

    Kochi Prefecture has an ordinance that limits where or when home-sharing runs.

    On top of the 180-night national cap, the ordinance can rule out some areas or periods, so the exact address matters.
