(Niseko ski resort, Hokkaido)
Long-lasting growth ?
The Japanese government recently issued a report on the average land price in Japan.
It is announced every year and surveys 26,000 spots all over Japan.
Today I am sharing some key findings and forecast for the future.
Summary
Overall, the national average price for commercial land increased 2.8 percent and that of residential land edged up 0.6 percent.
The average price of all types of land in Japan’s regional areas (namely local areas) rose for the first time since 1992 last year
due to the influx of foreign tourists.

If you are seriously interested in the real estate investment in Japan, the hotel segment is growth potential.
The number of foreign tourists to Japan is set to rise for the seventh straight year and hit a record level of
more than 30 million in 2018.
(Chart : Number of foreign tourists, unit: 10 thousand)
The government is targeting 40 million foreign visitors by 2020, when Tokyo will host the Olympics.
Japan accepted an all-time high of 28.69 million foreign visitors in 2017, up 19.3 percent from the previous year
and the number of visitors are still on rise.
The estimated number of foreign visitors to Japan in February 2019 rose 3.8 percent from a year earlier to a record 2,604,300,

By country and region, the highest number of visitors came from China at 723,600, up 1.0 percent from a year earlier,
according to the Japan Tourism Agency.
However, the pace of growth slowed from 19.3 percent in January with a declining number of cruise ships making stops in Japan.
