Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.

UnknownRebuild & road accessNot stated

Road access is not described. Ask the agent about road width and frontage (needed to rebuild).

FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1990)

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.
