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.
FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK
Faces a public road of at least 4 m. Rebuilding is normally allowed.
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 itLoan only if resident
Foreigners may buy freely, but Japanese banks mostly lend to residents (permanent residents most easily). Non-residents usually pay cash or use an overseas loan.
