The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 16,400 yen per sqm, down about 18% over five years (20,000 to 16,400), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 19,642 yen per sqm of land, 20% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 16,400 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

1 check clear, 4 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.

Hazards and ground
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.

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Warning
About 38% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

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.

Source: Government hazard map

Flood risk
Caution
Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Not applicable
Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
Liquefaction
Caution
High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

Source: National landform survey

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.
