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 1984)
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

Natural-hazard risk
In a flood-risk zone: water could reach 0.5–3 m in a worst-case flood.
Inside an assumed tsunami inundation zone — check the evacuation route.
Not in a landslide-warning zone.
Moderate: 12.1% chance of a strong shake (intensity 6-lower or more) in the next 30 years.
