What the data says
Steady, predictable growth
Condo prices per m² have climbed about 4% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.
Moving with Hyogo
Per m², condos here are 40% below the Hyogo average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.
Being near a station is worth a lot
Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 88% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.
A family market
73% of recent condo sales have three or more bedrooms. Demand comes mainly from owner-occupier families, which tends to make prices steadier but rental yields lower.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥9.2M and ¥28.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A growing population
The population grew 1.1% between 2020 and 2025 (−2.6% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 2.8 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.
Typical vacancy
11.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (13.8% for the wider area), and 4.8% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.
Buying vs renting
A median used condo costs about 21.5 years of the area's median rent (¥58k a month), compared with 32.3 years for the wider area. That is a middle-of-the-road ratio for Japan. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.
Moderate earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 44% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (33% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.
Official land prices are rising fast
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +5% in the year to January 2026 and +19% over five years. They are still 52% below their 1991 bubble-era level. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.
Some flood or landslide exposure
Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 25% are inside the worst-case flood zone. 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.

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.
