The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 7,300 yen per sqm, down about 15% over five years (8,600 to 7,300), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 436 yen per sqm of land, 94% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 7,300 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 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.

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.
