Strong-earthquake chance
About 7% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years
Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Source: Estimated from year built
  • About 250.5 km from the coast

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.

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.

  • Limited to UI-turn candidates until July 31, 2027

Always confirm the current conditions with the town before you commit.
