The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 10,200 yen per sqm, down about 15% over five years (12,000 to 10,200), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 33,593 yen per sqm of land, 229% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 10,200 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
4 checks clear, 1 to know about, 1 not applicable. 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 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 Not applicable
- Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
- 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.

Thinking of renting it out?
