The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 40,700 yen per sqm, down about 4% over five years (42,400 to 40,700), which the survey classes as stable.

The asking price works out at about 71,777 yen per sqm of land, 76% above the nearest residential benchmark of about 40,700 yen per sqm.

Official records

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.

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 39% 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
Caution
Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m

Source: Government hazard map

Tsunami risk
Not applicable
Inland, no tsunami map. This home is in a prefecture with no coast.
Liquefaction
Note
Moderate liquefaction susceptibility. Ask for a ground report before major work.

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.

Rules of this akiya bank

These are the bank's published eligibility rules, not confirmation that your intended use of this home is allowed. Check with the municipality and owner.

  • Residence or regular-stay requirement

    Explicitly not a blanket requirement or ban

    The bank FAQ explicitly says there are no user eligibility requirements; not a property-specific warranty.

  • Business-use exclusion

    Explicitly not a blanket requirement or ban

    Resale/subletting purposes are formally allowed by the rules, but the city asks users to refrain. This does not approve every shop or inn use.
