The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 19,900 yen per sqm, down about 15% over five years (23,500 to 19,900), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 16,401 yen per sqm of land, 18% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 19,900 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

4 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.

Hazards and ground
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

Strong-earthquake chance
Checked, clear
About 2% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

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
Caution
Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Source: Government hazard map

Liquefaction
Note
Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

Source: National landform survey

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

Source: Government heavy-snow designation

Farmland rules
Checked, clear
Checked: not in a designated farmland zone

Source: Government land-use records

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.
