農地法 · Farmland blocker
If the land category (地目) is farmland (田 / 畑), 農地法 第3条 requires a 買受適格証明書 from the local 農業委員会, which a non-farmer cannot obtain. A foreign buyer cannot legally bid at all.
Japanese court auctions, scored for foreign buyers
Japanese court auctions (競売 / keibai) sell foreclosed property at prices well below the open market, but they carry legal traps that can block a foreign buyer outright. Yudane scores 54 live Fukuoka lots for the farmland blocker, fractional-share traps, eviction risk, and the all-cash non-resident handoff, then puts the verdict on the map.

Why a court auction needs its own verdict
An ordinary listing risk score is not enough for keibai. A court auction is all-cash with no loan contingency, the property is sold as-is with no agent and no warranty, and several conditions can stop a foreign buyer before they ever bid. Yudane reads each lot's court-registry facts against the rules below.
持分 · Fractional share
Some lots sell only a co-ownership share (持分), not the whole property. You would own a fraction you cannot use or freely sell. Yudane flags a genuine partial share as a trap.
占有者 · Eviction risk
A tenant with 対抗力 (a lease senior to the mortgage) cannot be removed by court order. A debtor-occupant usually can, via 引渡命令, with forced execution as the conditional cost.
All-cash · Non-resident handoff
The deposit and full payment are wired to the court with no financing. A non-resident cannot open a standard Japanese bank account, so a bilingual 司法書士 must execute under power of attorney. This handoff is mandatory.
