What the data says
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 9% 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 ¥6.1M and ¥27.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A stable population
The population was roughly stable between 2020 and 2025 (−3.7% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 8.8 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.
Many abandoned homes
11.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.5% for the wider area), and 8.2% 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.
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 (5% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.
Local incomes are close to average
Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.1m in 2023 (¥3.2m for the wider area). That is +21% since 2014. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.

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.
