Is simple:

have a Permanent Residence status;

have a salary more than 6 or 7 mill JPY/year, preferably as a Permanent employee, not contractor;

have a clean state with the law and have ALL taxes paid by date;

prepare to have a 10% deposit as guarantee that you are good to pay the mortgage;

you will definitely won't get the best interest rates from the bank, just because you are a foreigner;

Bought a house 10+ years ago, and those were the main conditions I had to adhere to purchase a house in Kanagawa prefecture.
