Pros and cons of this 8DK house
An 8DK wooden two-storey house of about 236 m², built in 1993 with a building confirmation certificate, on a 1,532 m² lot in a quiet residential area of Wakuya.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 1532.23 m² (about 463 tsubo)
- Built 1993, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- Large plot means more upkeep (weeding, fences, snow)

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.
UnknownRebuild & road accessNot stated
Road access is not described. Ask the agent about road width and frontage (needed to rebuild).
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1993)
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.
