ハザードマップ

Hazard map

Municipal maps of flood, landslide, tsunami, and other disaster risk, consolidated on the national hazard-map portal. Since 2020, an agent must show the flood map position during the explanation of important matters. Check hazards before you fall in love with a property, not after.
