Famous Tokyo shopping district remains the country’s most expensive for three decades<\/p>\n

Driven by the flurry of tourism into the country and robust activity in the office sector, Japan saw its land prices rise for a fourth year in a row in 2018, official figures showed.<\/p>\n

Land prices in Japan on average rose 1.3 percent in 2018, up from 0.7 percent in 2017, data from the National Tax Agency revealed.<\/p>\n

The rise appears to \u201creflect brisk demand for infrastructure and urban redevelopment projects\u201d as well as the impact of low interest rates on housing, the agency explained via Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plots in Tokyo remain among the most sought-after, with land in Ginza climbing to a record JPY45.6 million (USD423,500) per square metre.<\/p>\n

This marks the 34th consecutive year the famed shopping district has been dubbed Japan\u2019s most expensive land. However, the increase in Ginza last year was just 2.9 percent, compared with an increase of 9.9 percent the previous year.<\/p>\n

Among prefectures, Okinawa had the fastest-growing land prices, accelerating 8.3 percent last year to Tokyo\u2019s 4.9 percent.<\/p>\n

Within Okinawa, a prefecture riding on an ongoing tourist boom, the city of Naha saw the price of one block hit JPY1.03 million per square metre last year, a staggering 39.2 percent increase.<\/p>\n

The tax agency\u2019s survey culled data from 320,000 plots all over the archipelago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
