Looks straightforward. One small point to confirm with the agent.

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 2004)
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 after that.

Natural-hazard risk
In a flood-risk zone: water could reach 0.5–3 m in a worst-case flood.
Inside an assumed tsunami inundation zone — check the evacuation route.
Not in a landslide-warning zone.
High: 56.9% chance of a strong shake (intensity 6-lower or more) in the next 30 years.
