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.
CheckRebuild & road accessNarrow road
Road width 3.6 m: under the 4 m standard, so a setback may apply if you rebuild. Ask the agent.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1995)
Built under Japan's current “new seismic standard” (shin-taishin, from June 1981).
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.
