Can a foreigner buy it?
Needs careful checks. 1 point to understand before you commit.
FineYou own the landFreehold
Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
CarefulRebuild & road accessRestricted area
Urbanisation control area (shigaika chōsei kuiki): new construction and rebuilds are tightly restricted. Fine if you only renovate, risky if you plan to rebuild.
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.
CheckPaying for itLoan only if resident
Foreigners may buy freely, but Japanese banks mostly lend to residents (permanent residents most easily). Non-residents usually pay cash or use an overseas loan.
