From the listing
A beautiful 2-story house located at the top of a steep slope accessible from a prefectural road. The slope is so steep that the building can only be seen from above. There is a large elevation difference, with only the 2nd floor visible from the rear. Water facilities, kitchen, and living areas underwent barrier-free renovation about 20 years ago. A few years ago, double-pane sash windows were installed and the property has been well-maintained. The condition of the house indicates careful and meticulous care by the previous occupants. Appliances such as refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine are available for use if desired; terms are negotiable. The most distinctive feature of this property is the view from the house. Despite the excellent views, the terrain provides protection from typhoon winds. The water facilities are clean and ready for immediate use. The "Tairai" district where this property is located has water certified as one of Japan's Top 100 Waters of the Heisei era, managed communally by the settlement. The rear yard borders the beginning of the mountain and is ideal for a vegetable garden (deer countermeasures are essential). Parking for 2 vehicles is located along the prefectural road in a garage. A river runs just behind the parking area.

Area and hazard data
3 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.
- Strong-earthquake chance Note
- About 15% 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 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
