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 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 1926)

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.

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.
