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 accessSetback required
The road is narrower than 4 m, so part of the plot must be given up when rebuilding (setback). It shrinks the usable land.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1985)
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.
