Earthquake Building Standards

This property was built in 1959. Japan has three major eras of earthquake building standards:

Pre-1981: Old Seismic Standard (旧耐震基準) This property

Properties were only required to withstand moderate earthquakes (Shindo 5). Many suffered significant damage in the 1995 Kobe earthquake. A structural assessment is recommended — seismic retrofitting typically costs ¥1M-¥3M.

1981-1999: New Seismic Standard (新耐震基準)

Introduced after the 1978 Miyagi earthquake. Buildings must withstand a major earthquake (Shindo 6-7) without collapse. Performed significantly better in the 1995 Kobe earthquake than older buildings.

2000+: Revised Building Standards Act

Enhanced requirements after the 1995 Kobe earthquake including mandatory ground surveys, wall balance calculations, and strengthened connections between structural components. The strongest standard.

Note: The building code era indicates what standards were required at construction. Actual structural condition depends on maintenance, materials, and any renovations performed since. A professional inspection is always recommended before purchase.

Internet Connectivity

This property's area: 100% fiber coverage

Fiber coverage is estimated at the municipal level using data from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). It represents the percentage of households in the area that can access fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband.

95%+ — Likely available

Fiber is available to nearly all households. Providers like NTT Flet's Hikari, au Hikari, or NURO Hikari typically offer service. Speeds of 1Gbps are standard, with 10Gbps available in some areas.

90–95% — Probably available

Most of the area has fiber, but some pockets (especially newer developments or remote sections) may not. Check with NTT East/West before purchasing.

Below 90% — Limited

Fiber may not reach this property. Alternatives include ADSL, mobile broadband (4G/5G home routers), or satellite internet (Starlink is available in Japan since 2022). Remote mountain or island areas are most affected.

How to check before buying

NTT East: flets.com/app2/cao — enter the property address to check availability
NTT West: flets-w.com/area — same check for western Japan
Ask the listing agent or local municipal office about broadband infrastructure
Starlink: available nationwide as a backup — no address restriction

Note: Coverage percentages are area-level estimates. Even in high-coverage areas, individual properties (especially very rural or mountainous locations) may not have fiber to the door. Always verify before purchasing.

Short-Term Rental (Minpaku)

Japan's Minpaku Law (住宅宿泊事業法, enacted June 2018) allows homeowners to rent properties to tourists for short stays. Local governments can impose additional restrictions.

Special Zone (Tokku)

365 days/year. National Strategic Special Zones (like parts of Osaka and Tokyo) allow year-round short-term rentals with no day limit. Minimum stay: 2 nights.

Allowed (Standard) This property

Up to 180 days/year. The national standard under the Minpaku Law. Registration with prefectural authorities is required. No additional local restrictions beyond the national cap.

Moderate Restrictions

100-180 days/year. Local government has added restrictions such as banning operations during certain periods (e.g., school days, weekdays) or in specific residential zones.

Strict Restrictions

60-100 days/year. Significant local restrictions. Common in areas with hotel industry lobbying or concerns about neighborhood disruption. May limit operations to weekends, holidays, or off-peak seasons only.

Very Strict

Under 60 days/year. The most restrictive municipalities effectively discourage minpaku. Kyoto, for example, limits operations to January 15 - March 16 only (~60 days). Consider a ryokan or hotel license instead.

Important: Minpaku regulations change frequently. Always verify current rules with the local municipal office before purchasing a property for short-term rental. A ryokan/hotel license (旅館業法) or special zone approval may offer better flexibility than the standard minpaku registration.

Max 180 operating days/year in this municipality. Source: Japan Tourism Agency / MLIT
