Floor plan

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.

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 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.

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.
