Pros and cons of this 7SLDK house
A former pension of 222.90 m² on a 500 m² plot in the highlands of Hara Village, built in 1980.
Why it stands out

FineYou own the landFreehold
Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK

CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1980)
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.
CheckPaying for itPlan on cash
Japanese banks give little value to old wooden houses, and non-residents rarely get loans. Residents and permanent residents have more options.
