Source: Estimated from year built

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.

  • Homeowners' association fee: 6,000 yen per month
  • Entrance fee: 30,000 yen to 80,000 yen

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