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. Rebuilding is normally allowed.
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.
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.
