What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

House prices per m² have climbed about 2% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Outperforming Gifu

Per m², houses here are 144% above the Gifu average. The premium has grown from 73% ten years ago, so Kasamatsu Town, Hashima County has been outperforming its surroundings.

Station distance barely matters

Houses 11–15 minutes from a station sell for similar or higher prices than those near one, which usually means buyers here drive or value quiet residential streets.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 9% 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 ¥19.0M and ¥37.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 1.7% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.4% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 5.5 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers. Households still grew 3.5% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

15.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.1% for the wider area), and 7.1% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 50% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (29% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

Official land prices are flat

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed 0% in the year to January 2026 and -2% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Median transaction price by yearA jump driven by what sold — The median house price rose 44% between 2023 and 2025. Per m², prices rose only 1%, so most of the jump comes from larger or higher-end properties changing hands, not from the same homes getting that much more expensive. With only 20 house sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

About this data

Figures are medians of real transactions reported to Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) through its quarterly price survey. House prices per m² divide the total price (land and building) by the floor area. Medians based on fewer than 20 sales are not shown. The latest quarters are preliminary and are revised as more survey responses arrive.
