From the listing
Property Features: Upon entering the property, a wide garden and a particularly large storehouse catch the eye. The storehouse, nearly as large as the residence, once stored various farm equipment. The grounds are very spacious, offering possibilities for vegetable gardens, horticulture, children's play areas, or dog runs, many ways to personalize the garden. Within the expansive grounds stands a single, nostalgic single-story house. Inside, Western and Japanese rooms are well-balanced. You can secure your own calm, relaxed space. / Morning Hours: Soft morning light streams in through the spacious veranda on the east to south side of the house. Enjoying warm tea or coffee becomes a daily pleasure. / Sounds of Living: Fresh breezes circulate through the house surrounded by expansive garden space, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and birdsong. Refreshment comes from reading in the natural soundscape away from hustle and bustle. / Seasonal Enjoyment: Your own garden changes color with each season depending on how you arrange it. Plant vegetable seedlings in spring, enjoy fireworks in summer, barbecue in autumn, try DIY in winter, various memories accumulate with the seasons. / Building Features: The wide veranda and spacious Japanese rooms are major characteristics of this residence. The way rooms gently connect provides a sense of the charm of traditional homes. The expansive sky and views of nearby rice fields and farmland bring gentle open space to daily life. In a quiet environment, you can spend peaceful time in harmony with nature.

Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.
The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 19,300 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (19,300 to 19,300), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 3,003 yen per sqm of land, 84% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 19,300 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
4 checks clear, 2 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 19% 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
- 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.
