In the second quarter of 2026, the latest Japan CPI rent index rose to 101.2, continuing its climb from the previous value of 101.1 and presenting a steady upward trend. As building material and labor costs increase, rents, previously regarded as a "bedrock item," are spreading from metropolitan areas to the rest of the country, becoming a key momentum supporting Japanese prices and the normalization of the central bank's monetary policy.
