The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 10,200 yen per sqm, down about 14% over five years (11,900 to 10,200), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 486 yen per sqm of land, 93% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 7,110 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.
