The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 25,300 yen per sqm, down about 2% over five years (25,800 to 25,300), which the survey classes as stable.

The asking price works out at about 29,148 yen per sqm of land, 15% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 25,300 yen per sqm.

Official records

Area and hazard data

3 checks clear, 4 to know about. 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
Warning
About 29% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, high for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Source: National earthquake-hazard model

Landslide risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated landslide zone at this location. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

Source: Government hazard map

Flood risk
Checked, clear
Checked: outside a mapped flood area. The maps cover designated rivers only, so this is not a promise of no flooding.

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Source: Government hazard map

Storm-surge risk
Caution
Storm-surge zone, water 0.5 to 3 m

Source: Government hazard map

Liquefaction
Caution
High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

Source: National landform survey

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.
