What the data says
A long, slow decline
House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 4% a year recently. Prices are low, but resale values are likely to keep easing, so buy here to live, not as an investment.
Outperforming Gifu
Per m², houses here are 111% above the Gifu average. The premium has grown from 102% ten years ago, so Ginan Town, Hashima County has been outperforming its surroundings.
Sales are thinning out
Transactions are down about 20% on the previous three years. Fewer sales mean less choice and slower resale, so allow more time to sell later.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all house sales last year were between ¥16.0M and ¥48.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A growing population
The population grew 1% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.4% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 3.6 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.
Few abandoned homes
13.9% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.1% for the wider area), and 1.9% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. Most empty homes here are rentals between tenants, not abandoned houses, a sign of a healthy market.
High earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 62% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (29% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.
Official land prices are edging up
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +1% in the year to January 2026 and +5% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.
Significant flood risk
Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 100% are inside the worst-case flood zone (100% with expected depths of 3 m or more). Most worst-case flood zones are shallow (under 0.5 m) at the edges, so depth matters as much as the share. Check the hazard map for any specific address before buying.
