Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
CarefulRebuild & road accessRestricted area
Urbanisation control area (shigaika chōsei kuiki): new construction and rebuilds are tightly restricted. Fine if you only renovate, risky if you plan to rebuild.

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.
