What the data says
Being near a station is worth a lot
Houses within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 330% more per m² than those 16–29 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all house sales last year were between ¥3.7M and ¥24.3M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A shrinking population
The population fell 5.6% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025.
Many abandoned homes
15% of homes were empty in 2023 (18.6% for the wider area), and 11.1% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. That is a high share of truly abandoned homes (akiya), a sign of weak demand. Cheap houses are easy to find, but resale can be slow.
Moderate earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 38% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (62% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

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.
