The price in context

5,319 yen

Asking price per sqm of land

9,050 yen

Nearest official land benchmark, per sqm

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 9,050 yen per sqm, down about 3% over five years (9,330 to 9,050), which the survey classes as stable.

The asking price works out at about 5,319 yen per sqm of land, 41% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 9,050 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

5 checks clear, 3 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.

To know about

  • 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.

    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.

  • Snow

    Note

    In a designated heavy-snow zone. Expect real winter heating and roof-clearing costs.

    Source: Government heavy-snow designation

  • Farmland rules

    Note

    Inside an outer farmland zone. The plot itself may or may not be classed as farmland; ask the town before you commit.

    Source: Government land-use records

Checks clear

  • Strong-earthquake chance

    Checked, clear

    About 0% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low 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.

    Source: Government hazard map

  • 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

  • Liquefaction

    Checked, clear

    Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

Rules of this akiya bank

    Unknown. No published residence rule has been established for this listing.

    The bank or the town can say whether buyers are expected to live in the home.

  • Bank rule on business use

    Unknown. No published business-use rule has been established for this listing.

    The bank can say whether guest stays fit its rules.

    The bank can say whether a resale restriction applies.

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.

  • Local home-sharing ordinance

    Kyoto 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.

  • Zoning for hotels and inns

    No use zone is recorded for this spot in the loaded zoning data.

    That does not establish permission. The town's planning desk holds the current zoning map.

  • Urbanisation control area

    Unknown. Area division data is not available for this spot.

    Unknown does not mean permitted. The town's planning desk can say whether the home is in an urbanisation control area.

    Area division data (MLIT)

  • Heavy-snow designation

    This home is in a designated heavy-snowfall area.

    Snow clearing, roof upkeep and heating add to running costs, and winter access affects guest stays.

  • Distance to an airport and the shinkansen

    Nearest airport about 19.7 km, nearest shinkansen station about 65.7 km, in a straight line.

    How easily guests arrive shapes demand. Road and rail journeys are longer than these distances.
