From the listing
The property consists of approximately 430 tsubo of residential land and approximately 55 tsubo of farmland connected on the main-house side (485 tsubo total), plus approximately 160 tsubo of farmland north of the municipal road. The portion that was previously paddy field was leveled approximately 50 years ago. Currently not cultivated but regularly maintained with grass-cutting. Two small single-story houses, a garage facing the prefectural road, a farm-tool shed along the municipal road, and a small storage shed near the residence. Additionally, a traditional Japanese garden occupying approximately 70 tsubo on the southwest portion of the property with expensive stones arranged by the late mother. / East side faces the prefectural road used by large trucks; west side faces a separate 7m municipal road. Suitable for vehicle access from both sides, making it ideal for corporate material storage, vehicle depot, office-warehouse facilities, or residential development land (all farmland confirmed as Type 3 agricultural land and non-under-agricultural-promotion-area by municipal office). Roadside location with easy vehicle access from Nagaoka, Ojiya, and Joetsu. / For individuals, agricultural land is included, so the property targets those who can obtain Article 3 or Article 5 agricultural permits. Article 3 permits now have lower barriers and are possible with part-time farming if motivated. Application procedures conducted in flexible consultation environment, making it ideal for new farmers, relocated residents, or serious home-garden gardening. Farmland is flat grassland so construction costs can be reduced. / Infrastructure (electricity, gas, water) currently in place as property is actively lived-in. / Buildings, garage, shed, stone-face walls, block walls, garden trees, and stones transferred as-is in current condition. / Seller will not conduct survey or boundary confirmation. / Transaction based on registered land area (public area); any discrepancy with actual area will not result in price adjustment per terms requested. / Property includes farmland requiring Article 3 (farmer qualifications, etc.) or Article 5 (conversion permit) under Agricultural Land Law. Procedures take 2 to 3 months from application to permit; if permit is denied, transaction becomes null and void per agreement. / Currently in use and immediately habitable condition. / Handover timing negotiable considering seller's cleanup needs. / Transaction conducted with seller indemnified from contract non-conformity liability (no warranty). / Furniture and items inside building to be removed before handover (partial transfer negotiable). / Farm equipment, pruning tools, carpentry tools, etc. transferable at no cost per request.

Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.
The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 32,900 yen per sqm, down about 12% over five years (37,200 to 32,900), which the survey classes as declining.
The asking price works out at about 25,466 yen per sqm of land, 23% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 32,900 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.
