We Mapped 100+ Years of Earthquake Data to Create a New Akiya Search Tool, ft. Keita

from Buying a House in Japan · host Mokomoko Productions

Want to buy an akiya in Japan but the idea of earthquakes keeping you up  at night? We get it. Japan shakes, so we made a tool to help you figure  out where to look.  This week, Joey and Take catch up with university friend Keita, the  geospatial software engineer who built AkiyaMart's new earthquake  overlay filter. He explains how it works, why Shindo (felt intensity)  matters more than magnitude for property buyers, and the key limitations  of 100–120 years of historical data.  Follow us on Instagram and YouTube!Buying a House in Japan is a production of AkiyaMart.
