Pros and cons of this 3SLDK house
A vacant two-storey wooden 3SLDK of about 89 m² with a loft, on a 390 m² leasehold plot in a quiet green hilltop area, with neighbors set far apart.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 389.79 m² (about 118 tsubo)
- Built 1990, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Leasehold — You would own the building but only rent the land (shakuchi-ken)
- Setback required
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)

Can a foreigner buy it?
Needs careful checks. 1 point to understand before you commit.
CarefulYou own the landLeasehold
You would own the building but only rent the land (shakuchi-ken). Rights, rent and renewal terms differ a lot — read them before anything else.
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 1990)
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.
