Pros and cons of this 4LDK house
A 209 m² wooden two-storey house with 4LDK plus storage room on a 434 m² plot (about 131 tsubo), built in May 2001, so relatively recent for a rural home.
Why it stands out

- Modern construction (built 2001)
- Spacious: 208.67 m² of floor area
Points to check
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- High earthquake exposure (71.9% / 30 yrs)
- In a mapped flood zone (up to under 0.5 m in a worst case)

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 2001)
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.
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.
