  • Likely rebuildableNo restriction recorded. Worth confirming the road frontage.
  • Built 1989, 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.
