From the listing
Begin a new life at the base of Mount Ibuki, embraced by gods and pristine nature. Feel the sacred mountain nearby while marking time with the changing seasons. The well-maintained house formerly operated as a traditional inn, featuring sturdy, spacious construction. Recommended for families with children, and those seeking home-based accommodations or shops for tourists. Beautiful traditional Japanese architecture with bright, wide entrance and a parlor view extending to the alcove, creating an impressive atmosphere through sliding screens. Authentic furnishings and stairs retain Showa-era charm. The family living space is renovated for seasonal comfort and safe living. The grounds include a large semi-basement storage room and a covered garage, perfect for barbecues. Ideal for home gardening or farming, with nearby fields and paddies, and many knowledgeable local mentors. Ski slopes and hiking trails are close by; in this tourism-rich area, running a guest house business is highly recommended.

Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.
The price in context
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 10,100 yen per sqm, down about 14% over five years (11,800 to 10,100), which the survey classes as declining.
Source: Japan's Ministry of Land land-price survey. A benchmark for the area, not a valuation of this home.
Area and hazard data
3 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.
- 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
