Pros and cons of this 4LDK house
A wooden house with one floor above ground and a basement, about 275 m² on a very large 5,302 m² plot, built in May 1999.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 5302.2 m² (about 1604 tsubo)
- 9-minute walk to the station
- Built 1999, under the post-1981 earthquake code
Points to check
- High earthquake exposure (72.5% / 30 yrs)
- Currently occupied: viewing and handover depend on the owner
- Large plot means more upkeep (weeding, fences, snow)

Can a foreigner buy it?
Looks straightforward. One small point 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.
FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK
Faces a public road of at least 4 m — setback already done. Rebuilding is normally allowed.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1999)
Built under Japan's current “new seismic standard” (shin-taishin, from June 1981). Wooden houses also got stronger joint rules in 2000; this one is before that.
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.
