Japan’s official land prices for 2025 increased nationwide for the fourth consecutive year, with an average rise of 2.7%.
This marks the highest growth rate since 1992, following the collapse of the economic bubble.
The surge is attributed to ongoing redevelopment in urban centers and a rise in inbound tourism.
