What the data says

A shrinking population

The population fell 10.9% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 19.1 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

Lower earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 8% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (20% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.

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.
