A lot of these are sold by real estate companies that take 100% commission for customers who just don’t want to pay the taxes on it. They couldn’t care less about if you are a foreigner. The local government however, may place restrictions to prevent you from just making it an Air b&b.
Are you saying this particular house or in general? I live and work in Japan and bought a house a year ago. I actually looked at the property linked or a similar one, but noped out of it.

Unless you lawyer up beforehand.

Legally, you need to have a minpaku license and other things to make it an AirBnB anyway.
