Mixed timber and steel from 1975, six rooms across one footprint; parents and kids fit here.
Chichibu Station is seven minutes walk, Yama Park within reach for morning walks, and there's rear garden space for vegetables once you prune.
Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.
From the listing
Recommended points: This location does not feel inconvenient for stations or shopping. Yama Park, Chichibu residents' oasis, is about 1.9km away, and the famous Shibazakura (moss phlox) hill is about 2.8km. The well-maintained Chichibu Station-bound path to the park bridge is just 90m away, perfect for morning walks in summer or midday walks in winter. The land is a comfortable ~60 tsubo. The street side features an automated-shutter garage that conceals the property from view, but there is a garden in the rear. Vegetable gardening is possible after pruning. The building was originally a single-story wooden structure, expanded with steel construction in 1975 (Showa 50), and then the original building was demolished and rebuilt in wood in 1991 (Heisei 3). Though aged, it is clean and appears usable without major renovation. / Remarks: Land area per registration certificate. Building area per registration certificate. Boundary demarcation not performed. Transaction in current condition. Viewings require prior in-person neighborhood inspection with understanding of the location and atmosphere. Viewings restricted to owner/family only. Cannot be used for resale, rental, or accommodations. / Condition: Renovation necessary.

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 81,000 yen per sqm, down about 1% over five years (82,000 to 81,000), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 71,717 yen per sqm of land, 36% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 52,600 yen per sqm.

Area and hazard data
3 checks clear, 2 to know about, 1 not applicable. 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.
- Earthquake code Caution
- Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.
- Strong-earthquake chance Note
- About 7% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, mid-range for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%
- Landslide risk Checked, clear
- Checked: no designated landslide zone at this location. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.
- Flood risk Checked, clear
- Checked: outside a mapped flood area. The maps cover designated rivers only, so this is not a promise of no flooding.
- Tsunami risk Not applicable
- Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
- Liquefaction Checked, clear
- Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

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.
