The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 24,300 yen per sqm, down about 5% over five years (25,500 to 24,300), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 9,216 yen per sqm of land, 62% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 24,300 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.

Area and hazard data
4 checks clear, 1 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 Checked, clear
- Built after the 1981 earthquake code
- Strong-earthquake chance Checked, clear
- About 5% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, low for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%
- Landslide risk Caution
- In a yellow (caution) landslide zone (4 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.
- 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
