Pros and cons of this 8LDK house
A 1999 wooden two-storey house with an 8LDK layout and 698 m² of listed floor area, standing on 1,553 m² of land.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 1553.05 m² (about 470 tsubo)
- Built 1999, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- Large plot means more upkeep (weeding, fences, snow)

Can a foreigner buy it?
Looks straightforward. One small point 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.
FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK
Faces a public road of at least 4 m — setback already done. Rebuilding is normally allowed.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1999)
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.
