The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 7,900 yen per sqm, down about 8% over five years (8,560 to 7,900), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 8,713 yen per sqm of land, 10% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 7,900 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
1 check clear, 4 to know about. 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.

- Landslide risk Caution
- In a yellow (caution) landslide zone (1 zone(s)). Expect a surveyor to look at the slope behind the house. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

- Tsunami risk Checked, clear
- Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location
- Liquefaction Note
