What the data says

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥17.0M and ¥39.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 4.3% between 2020 and 2025 (−3.7% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 6.1 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.

Few abandoned homes

19.5% of homes were empty in 2023 (20.4% for the wider area), and 2.6% 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.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 41% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (40% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

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 +7% 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, 80% 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.

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.
