Ownership check

Foreigners can buy property in Japan on the same terms as locals. Here is what this listing says.

2 things to check before you go further.
  • FreeholdYou would own the land, not lease it.
  • Needs permission to build (急傾斜地崩壊危険区域)Steep-slope collapse hazard zone. Earthworks, tree felling and construction need prefectural permission, and the designation stays with the land on resale.
  • Built 1981, wooden, before the 2000 updateMeets the 1981 code but not the 2000 rules for wooden houses. Ask for an inspection.

Read from the listing. Ask us and we confirm each point before you spend money on a trip. Cash buyers can buy from abroad; Japanese mortgages usually need residency.
