Pros and cons of this 7K house
A vacant two-storey wooden 7K house of about 192 m² on a 1,327 m² lot (around 401 tsubo), sold as-is without boundary marking and without seller liability for defects.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 1327.14 m² (about 401 tsubo)
- Traditional kominka character
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Built 1965, before the 1981 earthquake code — inspect and budget for reinforcement
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Inside a landslide-warning zone

CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1965)
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.
