Pros and cons of this 7LDK house
A vacant two-storey wooden 7LDK of about 205 m² on a 892 m² corner plot on high ground facing south, with views, roads on three sides (6.2 m south, 4.8 m west, 4.3 m north) and parking for ten cars including a garage that can double as a storeroom.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 892.21 m² (about 270 tsubo)
- Built 1985, 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)

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.
FineRebuild & road accessRoad access OK
Faces a public road of at least 4 m. Rebuilding is normally allowed.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1985)
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.
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.
