Ownership check

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

1 thing to check before you go further.
  • FreeholdYou would own the land, not lease it.
  • Needs permission to build (農地法)Farmland. Transfer needs an agricultural committee filing, which is the usual sticking point for a buyer who is not a registered farmer.
  • Outside the zoning planRural land with few zoning rules. Check with the town hall before major works.

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.
