From the listing

Work required: 2nd floor interior, 3rd floor interior / Ancillary facilities: water well for snow melting / Handover condition: as-is / School district: Ojiya Elementary School / Ojiya Junior High School / Snowy country living: Ojiya city is covered by snow in winter in both urban and mountainous areas. There are challenges unique to snowy regions such as roof snow removal and snow clearing from the entrance to the road, but roads and public facilities are equipped with snow removal systems and snow melting equipment, so there is almost no disruption to daily life. Additionally, winter sports, snowy landscapes, and snow events offer pleasures that can only be enjoyed in snowy regions.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 40,400 yen per sqm, down about 12% over five years (45,900 to 40,400), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 26,751 yen per sqm of land, 34% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 40,400 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.
