Area and hazard data
- About 243.7 km from the coast
- About 242.8 km to the nearest primary school
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.
Floor plans
Municipal conditions and restrictions
Some towns attach conditions to an empty-home purchase, for example a residency requirement or farmland-law (nochi-ho) approval, which is a local sign-off needed before farmland can change hands or use. These come from the source listing.
- Must be willing to accept agricultural land and forest
Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
