    Japan is a country with very limited space for buildings, as mountains make up about three-quarters of its landmass. The country’s fairly large population is concentrated in major cities. The metropolitan area of Tokyo, home to a staggering one-third of the population, is the center of economic and political activity. As such, it boasts the highest property prices across the country. Driven by the weak yen, a tourism boom, and global investment, property and land prices surged in 2023 and 2024. Even some rural regions, which are generally confronted with economic stagnation and depopulation tendencies, have been affected by this trend.
