The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 16,700 yen per sqm, down about 19% over five years (20,600 to 16,700), which the survey classes as declining.

Area and hazard data

3 checks clear, 2 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.

To know about

  • 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

    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.

  • Strong-earthquake chance

    Note

    About 7% 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%

Checks clear

  • 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.

    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.

  • Liquefaction

    Checked, clear

    Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

    Source: National landform survey

Not checked or not applicable

  • Tsunami risk

    Not applicable

    Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.

Thinking of renting it out?

What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.

In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.

  • Local home-sharing ordinance

    Nara Prefecture has an ordinance that limits where or when home-sharing runs.

    On top of the 180-night national cap, the ordinance can rule out some areas or periods, so the exact address matters.
