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 accessNarrow road
Road width 2 m: under the 4 m standard, so a setback may apply if you rebuild. Ask the agent.
FineEarthquake standardPost-1981 code (built 1997)
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.
