What the data says
A stable population
The population was roughly stable between 2020 and 2025 (+0.1% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 2.4 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.
Many abandoned homes
12.1% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 8.4% 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.
Moderate earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 21% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (22% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.
Local incomes are above average
Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.6m in 2023 (¥3.2m for the wider area). That is +26% since 2014. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.
Official land prices are rising fast
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +9% in the year to January 2026 and +35% 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.
