Settle Map

Compare Japanese municipalities by disaster risk, land price, and climate

A web service that aggregates flood, tsunami, landslide, earthquake probability, land price, climate, and distance-to-city data for all 1,892 Japanese municipalities from primary sources such as the National Land Numerical Information, the Hazard Map Portal, J-SHIS, and the Japan Meteorological Agency, and lets you compare them on a single map. No composite score is computed. Only raw values with their units and sources are shown. From each municipality's detail view you can jump straight to its vacant-house bank and relocation pages.
