Japan's Housing CPI for the second quarter of 2026 (June) climbed to 105.0, continuing a slight upward trend from the previous value of 104.9, highlighting a steady increase in housing costs. Against the backdrop of nationwide land prices recording their largest increase in 32 years and the Bank of Japan's interest rate hikes, the proportion of rent increases for new contracts and renewals in the rental market has risen significantly, which is expected to provide long-term underlying support for Japan's core inflation.
