About this home
Built in 2008, this 103 sqm log house sits 23 minutes walk from Yokose station with a river nearby and open vaulted ceilings that feel genuine rather than styled. It's in a yellow landslide zone, so you'd want your own survey before committing.
Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.
From the listing
Recommended points: There is a partially collapsed section of the access road that is dangerous, please exercise caution when driving (see photos). This is a genuine log house surrounded by lush greenery where you can feel the warmth of wood. It offers distinctive appeal compared to conventional homes, featuring an open living room with vaulted ceilings, an open loft, and a wooden deck where you can feel close to nature. A river flows near the property, making this an ideal location to enjoy nature's seasonal changes. Recommended for those seeking to escape the bustle of daily life and spend time leisurely, or those looking for a weekend retreat, hobby base, or relocation destination. / Special notes: The building is unregistered; the area shown is from the fixed asset tax assessment record. There are additional private road shares. / Repair necessity: Some repairs are needed

The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 32,700 yen per sqm, down about 3% over five years (33,600 to 32,700), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 36,535 yen per sqm of land, 12% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 32,700 yen per sqm.

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 to the current (post-2000) earthquake code
- Strong-earthquake chance Checked, clear
- About 4% 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 (1 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
