About this home

Built in 1926, the timber frame is worth the work; the flyer is blunt that only the ground floor rents at first and the tenant keeps the lawn cut, upstairs to be discussed.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 15,100 yen per sqm, down about 6% over five years (16,100 to 15,100), which the survey classes as declining.

The asking price works out at about 4,147 yen per sqm of land, 73% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 15,100 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.

Official records

Area and hazard data

1 check clear, 2 to know about, 3 not checked. 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
Note
About 19% 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%

Landslide risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check landslide risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Flood risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check flood risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Tsunami risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check tsunami risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Liquefaction
Checked, clear
Low liquefaction susceptibility for the ground here

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.
