The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 82,700 yen per sqm, down about 6% over five years (88,000 to 82,700), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 16,409 yen per sqm of land, 8% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 15,200 yen per sqm.
No recorded sales in this municipality in the official transaction register, so there is no comparable sale to show.

Area and hazard data
1 check clear, 2 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 Note
- About 11% 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 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.
