Earthquake Building Standards

This property was built in 1991. Japan has three major eras of earthquake building standards:

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

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) This property

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: 92% 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.

Mobile Coverage

Coverage provided by Japan's major carriers

4G LTE: Near-universal in Japan

All major carriers (Docomo, au, SoftBank, Rakuten) provide 4G LTE coverage to over 99% of Japan's population. Even in rural areas, 4G connectivity is typically available from at least one carrier.

5G: 98.4% (Japan national average)

5G networks are widely deployed in this area. Urban centres and most residential areas will have 5G access from at least one major carrier.

5G figures are population coverage rates at the prefecture level, published annually by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). They represent the share of the population with 5G access from at least one carrier — not a guarantee of coverage at this specific property address.

Note: Rural, mountainous, or island locations may have weaker signal. In-building signal can also vary by carrier and building materials. Always test with your preferred carrier before purchasing.

Hazard Zone

Flood Inundation Zone (洪水浸水想定区域)

This property is within a designated flood inundation zone. It means the area could be submerged if a nearby river overflows during a heavy rainfall event.

Inundation depth levels

0–0.5m: Knee-deep or less. Minor flooding, limited structural risk.

0.5–3m: First-floor flooding likely. Ground-floor contents at risk.

3–5m: First floor fully submerged. Second-floor evacuation required.

5m+: Roof-level flooding possible. Extremely high risk.

What to check: Review the local municipality's hazard map (ハザードマップ) for evacuation routes and emergency shelters.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — worst-case flood modeling per the Flood Control Act.

Tsunami Inundation Zone (津波浸水想定)

This property is within a designated tsunami inundation zone. Japan's coastlines face periodic tsunami risk from offshore earthquakes.

Evacuation planning is essential. Identify the nearest high-ground evacuation site (津波避難場所) before purchase. Many coastal municipalities have vertical evacuation towers.

Warning systems: Japan's early warning system typically provides 10–30 minutes before wave arrival for distant earthquakes. Cell alerts and sirens activate automatically.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — prefectural tsunami estimates based on worst-case offshore earthquake scenarios.

Storm Surge Zone (高潮浸水想定区域)

This property is within a storm surge zone. Storm surges occur when typhoon-force winds and low pressure push seawater inland, often compounding rainfall flooding near coasts.

Typhoon season: June–October is peak risk. Properties near Osaka Bay, Tokyo Bay, and Pacific-facing coasts face the highest exposure. Check your municipality's storm surge map for evacuation routes.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — storm surge scenarios modeled under worst-case typhoon conditions.

Landslide Hazard Zone (地すべり危険箇所)

This property is within or adjacent to a landslide-prone area. Landslides in Japan are most common during prolonged heavy rainfall (梅雨, typhoons) and after earthquakes that saturate or destabilize slopes.

What to check: Ask whether the property has undergone slope stabilization works (法面工事). Check the municipality for past landslide history and evacuation level triggers.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — sediment disaster hazard zones per the Sediment Disaster Prevention Act.

Steep Slope Failure Zone (急傾斜地崩壊危険区域)

This property is within a Steep Slope Collapse Hazard Zone — an officially designated area where a slope of 30° or steeper could fail, threatening buildings below.

Regulatory zone: Under the Steep Slope Collapse Disaster Prevention Act, construction and tree removal within these zones is restricted by the prefectural government.

What to check: Many prefectures fund retaining walls and slope protection works for designated zones. Ask whether protective works have been completed (法面工事済み) and check the municipal hazard map for evacuation triggers.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — steep slope failure zones per national and prefectural designation.

Debris Flow Zone (土石流危険渓流)

This property is near a debris flow hazard zone — a mountain stream or valley where intense rainfall can trigger a fast-moving slurry of water, rock, and sediment.

Speed of onset: Debris flows can travel at 20–40 km/h with little warning. Evacuate at the first Level 3 (警戒レベル3) municipal alert — do not wait for Level 4 or 5.

What to check: Look for sand control dams (砂防ダム) upstream — these significantly reduce debris flow risk and are common in Japanese mountain valleys. Check the municipality's hazard map for evacuation routes.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — debris flow hazard zones per the Sediment Disaster Prevention Act.

Volcanic Hazard Zone

This property is within a volcanic hazard zone. Japan has over 100 active volcanoes, and municipalities maintain hazard maps showing potential reach of lava, pyroclastic flows, ashfall, and lahars.

Eruption alert levels: The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issues volcanic alert levels 1–5. Level 2+ restricts access within the exclusion zone. Sign up for municipal alert notifications.

What to check: Review the nearest volcano's eruption history and current alert level at the JMA website. Ask the municipality for the volcanic hazard map (火山ハザードマップ) specific to this area.

Source: MLIT DisaPortal — volcanic hazard zones per JMA and prefectural designations.

Earthquake History (USGS — 250 km radius)

Japan experiences more seismic activity than almost any other country. The data shown comes from the USGS Earthquake Catalog — the largest and most recent significant earthquakes recorded within 250 km of this property over the past 30 years.

Magnitude scale

M < 5.0: Minor shaking. Felt by people but rarely causes structural damage.

M 5.0–6.9: Moderate to strong. Can cause significant damage to older or poorly-built structures.

M 7.0+: Major earthquake. Can cause widespread damage. The 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake was M7.9.

What to check: Ask for the property's seismic compliance standard. Buildings built after 1981 meet Japan's "New Seismic Standard" (新耐震基準), and those built after 2000 meet stricter requirements introduced after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. For any pre-1981 structure, consider commissioning a seismic inspection (耐震診断).

Insurance: Earthquake insurance (地震保険) in Japan is government-backed and sold as a rider on fire insurance. It covers up to 50% of the fire policy amount. Strongly recommended for any property in a seismically active area.

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.
