Area and hazard data
1 to know about, 4 not checked. 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
CautionBuilt 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.

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
Niigata 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.
