Gifu City leads
Gifu's condo prices per m² accelerated to about 4% a year over the last five years, led by Gifu City (up about 33%), a 20-minute train ride from Nagoya. The area north of Gifu Station and the Yanagase shopping street is a government urban renewal zone. On the government's fixed benchmark sites, however, residential land has slipped about 2% over five years and is 57% below its 1991 level.
Condos depreciate quickly
Gifu condos lose half their per-m² value by about 19 years old, faster than in most prefectures, so newer condos carry high depreciation risk.
People and vacancy
Gifu's population fell 4.4% between 2020 and 2025, and about 4,500 more people left than arrived in 2025. 8.1% of homes are abandoned, particularly in mountain areas such as Gero and Gujo.
The biggest hazard: deep flooding
Southern Gifu lies on the Nobi Plain where the Kiso, Nagara and Ibi rivers meet, historically one of Japan's most flood-prone areas. About 42% of benchmark sites face worst-case flooding of 3 m or deeper, one of the highest shares in Japan. Check flood depth for any address, and favor higher ground and newer, raised construction.
Earthquakes
The chance of 6-lower shaking within 30 years is about 29%. Tajimi and southern Gifu also regularly record some of Japan's hottest summers.

The latest quarters are preliminary and are revised as more survey responses arrive.
