According to the latest data, Japan's CPI rent index for the third quarter of 2026 stood at 100.6, remaining flat compared to the previous reading. Although recent changes in the national average index have been moderate, analysts note that Japan's real rent inflation has surged to a nearly 25-year high. Driven by overall housing and energy costs, Japan's core CPI continues to exceed the 2% target, which the market expects will pave the way for another rate hike by the Bank of Japan in December.
