Pros and cons of this 7DK house

Two-storey wooden 7DK of 215.72 m² built in 1984 on a 737 m² freehold lot, registered with the town's vacant-house programme and suggested for people moving from outside the area.

Why it stands out

  • Generous plot: 737 m² (about 223 tsubo)
  • 7-minute walk to the station
  • Built 1984, under the post-1981 earthquake code

Points to check

  • Narrow road
  • Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
  • Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car

Floor plan

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.

CheckRebuild & road accessNarrow road

Road width 2 m: under the 4 m standard, so a setback may apply if you rebuild. Ask the agent.

FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1984)

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.

FinePaying for itCash-friendly price

At this price most foreign buyers pay cash by international transfer. No Japanese loan or residency is needed to complete a purchase.
