Can a foreigner buy it?
Good, with a few checks. Nothing blocking, but a couple of points to confirm with the agent.
FineYou own the landFreehold
Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
CheckRebuild & road accessSetback required
The road is narrower than 4 m, so part of the plot must be given up when rebuilding (setback). It shrinks the usable land.
CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1937)
Built before the 1981 seismic code. Common for cheap houses and not unsafe by definition, but get an inspection and budget for reinforcement; banks and insurers treat these houses differently.
FinePaying for itCash-friendly price
At this price most foreign buyers pay cash by international transfer. No Japanese loan or residency is needed to complete a purchase.
