TOKYO : Japan's land prices rose for a second consecutive year in 2022, the country's tax agency said on Monday, suggesting a gradual recovery from the impact pandemic as restrictions were eased.

Japan's northern Hokkaido posted the biggest rise of 6.8 per cent, helped by demand for both commercial and housing land in Sapporo city, the capital of the prefecture, and its surrounding area.
Japan's most expensive location, a plot in Tokyo's glamorous Ginza shopping district, rose 1.1 per cent in 2022 to 42.7 million yen per square meter, and were up for the first time in three years.
