Location
This marks an approximate area, not the exact building. The circle is a rough radius from the listing's published address, so you can see the neighbourhood without us guessing at a precise spot.
Full description
POINT: Southern frontage is narrow at approximately 3m with a slope, but connects to Prefectural Route 5 (width 10m+) ahead. The total site area is extensive: 652.9 tsubo (residential land: 288 tsubo / raw land: 364 tsubo). The main house has renovation history for window frames and toilet; the single-story annex and storage shed could be used as residential/shop/office depending on interior repairs. / Remarks: Accompanying the residential land: secondary building (39.66㎡ building; 122.44㎡ land), storage shed, raw land. Most of the residential land and building are in yellow zone (flood hazard); part of the building is in red zone. Reconstruction or expansion requires building permits, exterior reinforcement, retaining wall installation, and various regulatory measures.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
