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.
CheckRebuild & road accessSetback required
The road is narrower than 4 m, so part of the plot must be given up when rebuilding (setback). It shrinks the usable land.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 2000)
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 after that.
FinePaying for itCash-friendly price
At this price most foreign buyers pay cash by international transfer. No Japanese loan or residency is needed to complete a purchase.

Natural-hazard risk
In a flood-risk zone: water could reach 3–5 m in a worst-case flood.
Inside an assumed tsunami inundation zone — check the evacuation route.
Inside a sediment-disaster warning zone (steep slope / debris flow).
High: 77.1% chance of a strong shake (intensity 6-lower or more) in the next 30 years.
