From the listing
Remarks: Furniture will be removed at the seller's expense. Adjacent property has a steel-frame, slate-roofed warehouse (formerly used as a nori seaweed processing facility) and farm field. / Town's Charm: Tamaki City is blessed with abundant natural resources, including Ariake Bay, the Kikuchi River, and mountains of the Kodai and Kimpoku ranges, as well as numerous scattered ancient burial mounds, giving it rich historical resources. Agriculture thrives with rice, tomatoes, and various vegetables, as well as fruits such as strawberries and mandarin oranges, along with nori seaweed and clam fishing. In the northern part of the city, at the foot of Kodai Mountain, is Tamaki Hot Spring, boasting over 1,300 years of history and excellent spring quality; in the southern part is Shoten Hot Spring, the setting for Soseki Natsume's masterpiece 'Kusamakura'. Located between the Kumamoto and Fukuoka metropolitan areas, with the JR Kyushu Main Line, Kyushu Expressway, and Ariake Ferry nearby, it enjoys excellent transportation access. From Shin-Tamaki Station, Hakata is 40 minutes away, Kagoshima is 1 hour 20 minutes away, and Osaka is 3.5 hours away, making northern Kumamoto an area within day-trip distance of both the Kyushu and Kansai regions.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 9,600 yen per sqm, down about 1% over five years (9,700 to 9,600), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 8,693 yen per sqm of land, 9% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 9,600 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
3 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.
- 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 Note
- About 12% 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 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 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
- Storm-surge risk Warning
- Storm-surge zone, water 3 to 5 m
- Liquefaction Caution
- High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

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.
