What the data says
Lagging Tokushima
Per m², houses here are 55% below the Tokushima average. Ten years ago the gap was 27%, so Yoshinogawa City has been falling behind the rest of Tokushima.
Station distance barely matters
Houses 11–15 minutes from a station sell for similar or higher prices than those near one, which usually means buyers here drive or value quiet residential streets.
Sales are thinning out
Transactions are down about 46% 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 ¥3.2M and ¥18.3M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A shrinking population
The population fell 8.3% between 2020 and 2025 (−6.1% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 6.4 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.
Many abandoned homes
20.3% of homes were empty in 2023 (21.3% for the wider area), and 13.5% 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.
High earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 75% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (75% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.
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 -1% in the year to January 2026 and -3% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

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.
