Japan does not publish official house price statistics, so land prices are taken as a proxy. Land price statistics are available from the Japan Real Estate Institute (JREI), as well as rent index. For a summary of Japan’s economic and real estate trends, see monthly JREI reports. Japan’s Statistics Bureau and the Bank of Japan have good collections of general economics data.
