The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 7,120 yen per sqm, down about 17% over five years (8,590 to 7,120), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 6,375 yen per sqm of land, 10% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 7,120 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

2 checks clear, 3 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.

Hazards and ground
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.

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Note
About 24% 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%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Landslide risk
Warning
In a red (special caution) landslide zone (2 zone(s)), the government's highest category. Building work here needs a permit and insurers will ask. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

Source: Government hazard map

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.

Source: Government hazard map

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

Source: National landform survey

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.
