The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 4,220 yen per sqm.
The asking price works out at about 1,797 yen per sqm of land, 57% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 4,220 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
2 checks clear, 1 to know about, 3 not checked. 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 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%
- Landslide risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check landslide risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Flood risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check flood risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Tsunami risk Not checked
- We haven't been able to check tsunami risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
- Liquefaction Checked, clear
- Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

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.
