What the data says

A long, slow decline

House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 7% a year recently. Prices are low, but resale values are likely to keep easing, so buy here to live, not as an investment.

Moving with Kyoto

Per m², houses here are 93% below the Kyoto average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥1.0M and ¥6.7M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 8.2% between 2020 and 2025 (−2.9% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 7.8 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

Many abandoned homes

20.1% of homes were empty in 2023 (13.2% for the wider area), and 16.7% 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.

Lower earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 2% 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 still falling

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 -4% over five years. 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, 67% 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.

Median transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median house price rose 29% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 20%, so most of it is a real increase, with the rest coming from larger homes selling. With only 71 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.
