Pros and cons of this 8DK house
Vacant wooden two-storey 8DK house of about 234 m2 on 807 m2 of freehold land in Sanuki, built in 1985, with free parking.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 807 m² (about 244 tsubo)
- Built 1985, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- High earthquake exposure (40.4% / 30 yrs)

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.
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.
