FineYou own the landFreehold
Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
CheckRebuild & road accessPrivate road
Access is over a private road: check who maintains it and that you have the right to use it.
CheckEarthquake standardPre-1981 code (built 1973)
Built before the 1981 seismic code. Common for cheap houses and not unsafe by definition, but get an inspection and budget for reinforcement; banks and insurers treat these houses differently.
