What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, house prices per m² have slipped by about 2.1% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.

Moving with Kyoto

Per m², houses here are 24% above the Kyoto 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 181% more per m² than those 16–29 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 16% 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 ¥18.0M and ¥44.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 0.8% between 2020 and 2025 (−2.9% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025.

Few abandoned homes

9.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (13.2% for the wider area), and 2.8% 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.

Lower earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 14% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (22% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.

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 +3% over five years. They are still 65% below their 1991 bubble-era level. 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, 33% are inside the worst-case flood zone (22% 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.

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.
