Pros and cons of this 4DK house
A large two-storey wooden house built in 1981, with 275.6 m² of floor space on 830.9 m² of freehold residential land split over two plots.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 830.9 m² (about 251 tsubo)
- Built 1981, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- In a mapped flood zone (up to under 0.5 m in a worst case)

FineYou own the landFreehold
Full ownership (shoyūken) of land and house — foreigners have exactly the same rights as Japanese buyers.
UnknownRebuild & road accessNot stated

FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1981)
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.
