About this home
Specifications
Where a detail is not shown, the source listing did not state it. We leave it out rather than guess.
The price in context
24,297 yen
Asking price per sqm of land
38,400 yen
Nearest official land benchmark, per sqm
The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 38,400 yen per sqm, up about 2% over five years (37,800 to 38,400), which the survey classes as stable.
The asking price works out at about 24,297 yen per sqm of land, 37% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 38,400 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.

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.
To know about
Earthquake code
CautionBuilt 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
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.
Strong-earthquake chance
NoteAbout 11% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, mid-range for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

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

Thinking of renting it out?
What the published rules and maps say about letting this home to short-stay guests, line by line, with sources. This is not a verdict or advice. The town, the bank and the licensing office have the final word.
In Japan, home-sharing (minpaku) under the national home-sharing law is capped at 180 nights a year. A ryokan or inn licence is a separate route with its own building and zoning rules.
-
Local home-sharing ordinance
No home-sharing ordinance for Tochigi Prefecture appears in the Japan Tourism Agency list of 1 April 2021.
That is not a statement that home-sharing is allowed here: the list may be out of date, and the national rules still apply.
