The gross rental returns on apartments in Tokyo, Japan, averages around 5.54%. Smaller units have the highest yields. A 40 square metre (sq. m) apartment generates a yield of 5.90% while a 250-sq. m apartment has lower returns, at 5.21%.
Due to a lack of space in overpopulated Tokyo, apartments in the city centre have always been very expensive. On the average, apartments sell for around US$13,328 per sq. m.

Thank you for a very informative and well organised web site, in this case on Japan

Great site. Just came across it. When you do a global yield comparison could you do one relative to prevailing interest rates. Im sure Japan would rate much higher. (eg. 7.93%yield/2.00% retail interest rate = 3.97 compared globally would be very interesting.)

Now that is an idea. However obtaining mortgage interest rates is not so easy, I'm not aware of any site that lists them.
