Legal & Appraisal Professionals — MAPRISE 操作イメージ

Sound familiar?

Is desk research for appraisal, survey or legal work slowing you down?

Examples of problems appraisers, surveyors, judicial scriveners and lawyers may face.

  1. 01

    Reference data scattered across offices

    Appraisal reports, cadastral maps, prices, hazards — a round of offices for every case.
    Example scenario: Real estate appraiser

    With MAPRISE

    Professional data on one screen

    Nationwide appraisal-report data (258,214 records as of August 2026), registry maps, 19 years of land prices and hazards on one screen.

    Just ask the AI

    “Summarise nearby land prices and hazards for this lot”

  2. 02

    Land-history research depends on experience

    Was this once a river? Hard for junior staff to judge.
    Example scenario: Survey office staff

    With MAPRISE

    Old maps over today, terms explained

    Meiji-era wetlands, old topographic maps and flood-control landform maps layered together, with the AI explaining terms so junior staff can do the first pass.

    Just ask the AI

    “What was this land? Does it sit on an old river channel?”

    Periods to compare

  3. 03

    No local knowledge for remote cases

    A distant inheritance case — I want a read before travelling there.
    Example scenario: Judicial scrivener / lawyer

    With MAPRISE

    Overall risk anywhere, in minutes

    Zoning, prices, hazards and population cover all 47 prefectures. Regulations, hazards, history and surroundings come together in a scored report within minutes.

    Just ask the AI

    “What geographic risks matter for title DD here?”

Nothing to learn

Whatever you are unsure of, just ask the AI.

No menus or jargon to memorise. Ask in your own words and the AI looks up the data on the map and answers — qualitative questions like "what kind of area is this?" and quantitative ones like "by what percentage did it change?" alike.

  • No training needed

    Enter an address and say what you want to know. No manuals or training sessions.

  • Ask how to use it, too

    Ask "how do I show flood depth on the map?" and the AI walks you through it.

  • Qualitative and quantitative

    Get both the narrative ("what is this area like?") and the numbers (percent, people, scores), with charts.

An actual AI answer (disaster risk vs. land price)

A conversation with MAPRISE AI

  1. Qualitative

    What was this land in the past?

    Meiji-era maps show rice paddies, and the flood-control landform map places it near an old river channel — a ground check is advisable.

  2. Quantitative

    How much have nearby land prices changed in 5 years?

    Aggregated from nearby published and benchmark land prices.

    +6.8%5-year change (example)
  3. Qualitative

    What does "back marsh" mean?

    Low, wet ground formed behind natural levees where floodwater pooled. Typically poorly drained, with soft ground.

  4. Quantitative

    Give me an overall risk score

    Four risks scored out of 10 (higher means riskier).

* The conversation illustrates the shape of the answers; figures are examples unless quoted from a real screen. AI answers are for reference only — please confirm important decisions with a specialist.

Where the industry stands, and the change MAPRISE aims for

  • Nationwide

    Registry (legal-affairs) map data, now available nationwide. With parcel polygons, boundary pre-investigation can be done at the desk.

  • 19 years

For real estate appraisers — appraisal reports as a map layer

Display appraisal report information across all 47 prefectures nationwide (258,214 records, as of August 2026) as map points; click to see comparison, income, and cost valuations in a popup. Because two independent appraisals per standard point are included, you can also check valuation objectivity. Nineteen years of land-price trends, surrounding comparables, and station-power vs. land-price analysis reinforce your evidence.

On-map display of appraisal report data is available in early access. (AI integration and PDF output are planned for Phase 2.)

Note: the data is reference information and does not replace a formal appraisal.


For land & house surveyors — registry, boundaries, and land history on one screen

Check registry maps (now available nationwide) and parcel polygons on the map. Overlaying Meiji-era wetlands, historical topographic maps, and flood-control landform classifications lets you pre-investigate land formation and boundary changes at the desk, narrowing down before fieldwork and survey.

Note: this data has no certifying function at the Legal Affairs Bureau. It does not replace formal boundary determination or survey; please use it as an aid to preliminary investigation.


For judicial scriveners & lawyers — title DD, down to the geospatial layer

For settlement, inheritance, and dispute cases, grasp a property's regulations, hazards, land history, and surroundings in one pass. Generate an investigation report with a reference overall risk score, supporting due diligence that includes the geospatial information often outside your specialty.

Note: analysis results are reference information. Formal title confirmation requires obtaining a certified registry record.


Frequently asked questions

Q. Can a solo practice use it?

A. Yes. For professionals we recommend the Pro plan, suited to solo and small offices — AI chat, detailed reports (10/month), and your own logo.

Q. How reliable is the data?

A. We integrate public data from MLIT, the Legal Affairs Bureau, AIST, and others with sources cited. It is reference information, not a substitute for formal appraisal, survey, or title confirmation; each screen shows a disclaimer.

Q. Do you cover areas outside Kyushu?

A. Yes. Foundational data for decision-making — zoning, land prices, hazards, and population — is available across all 47 prefectures nationwide. Registry maps, parcel polygons, and appraisal reports also went nationwide as of August 2026. Some specialist data, such as the pre-war topographic maps, AED locations and city-gas service areas, is available in Kyushu first, where we started, and we plan to keep expanding its coverage. Foundational data, registry maps, and appraisal reports can already support pre-investigation outside Kyushu.

Q. How about security?

A. Built in the cloud with TLS encryption end-to-end. The property information you input is not shared with other users.

Q. Can multiple staff at our office share one account?

A. Yes. The Pro plan we recommend for professionals supports up to 3 shared seats (rollout in progress). For larger offices, the Business plan (10 seats) is also available.



For professionals' pre-investigation work, we recommend the Pro plan.
