Pros and cons of this 5LDK house

Two-storey wooden 5LDK of 204.45 m² in a pure Japanese style, built in 1982 on a 576.4 m² lot made up of two parcels, with a garden and a 36.48 m² storehouse.

Why it stands out

  • Generous plot: 576.4 m² (about 174 tsubo)
  • Built 1982, under the post-1981 earthquake code
  • Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over

Points to check

  • Setback required
  • Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
  • Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car

Floor plan

Plan from the original listing (layout labels are in Japanese: 洋 = Western-style room, 和 = tatami room, LDK = living-dining-kitchen, 納戸 = storage room). Click to enlarge.

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 1982)

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.

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.
