In 2023, suicide numbers in Japan were the highest among people between the ages of 50 and 59 years, with 4,197 suicide victims.
The country's suicide rate had shown a steady downwards trend over the past decade but began to rise again in 2020. The unexpected upward trend was likely to be connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
