Fukuoka has been one of Japan's fastest-rising big-city land markets for a decade, driven by the Tenjin and Hakata redevelopment programmes. In the 1 July survey the average commercial point in Fukuoka City rose +8.1% and residential +5.5%.
What these numbers are. Japan's official land prices are appraised benchmark values, not transaction prices: licensed appraisers value a fixed set of sample plots each year, per square metre of land, as if the plot were vacant. Two surveys: the Official Land Price (地価公示, chika kōji) values plots as of 1 January and is published in March; the Prefectural Land Price Survey (基準地価, kijun chika) values plots as of 1 July and is published in September. They are not the price of a condo (no building, no share of a site), and actual sales, especially of central commercial land and popular ski-resort plots, often happen well above them. Every median below shows its point count (n); where n is small, one plot can move the figure.
Land prices by ward
Median benchmark value per ㎡ of land in each ward in the 1 July 2026 survey (基準地価), with the average one-year change and the median five-year change. n is the number of sample points behind each figure. Sorted by commercial median.

How we calculated this
- Data: every sample point of the 2026 Official Land Price (公示地価, 1 Jan 2026, 25,565 points nationwide) and the 2026 Prefectural Land Price Survey (基準地価, 1 Jul 2026, 21,456 points), from MLIT's National Land Numerical Information files. Forest land is excluded (the survey values it per 10 ares, not per ㎡).
- The two surveys are never mixed. They are six months apart, so every median and average is for one survey; where both are shown they sit side by side.
- Median ¥/㎡ is the middle value of the points in that ward, town or station catchment. n is the number of points.
- Year-on-year change is the simple average of each continuing point's change (MLIT's own method); points that are new, re-selected or back from a pause have no change and are not counted (n shows how many were).
- 5-year change is the median change since 2021 of points priced in all six years with no re-selection in between.
- Stations are the "nearest station" field of each point. The two surveys write some names differently (基準地価 often puts the operator first, e.g. OsakaMetro本町 vs 本町), so we normalise names before grouping. Bus stops are left out. English station and ward names are our own romanisation.
- The history chart uses only points priced in every year from 2006 to 2026 (the same sample each year), so it is not moved by points being added or dropped; it is a median of those points, not an index of the whole market.
- US dollars use the ECB reference rate of 2026-09-25 (¥157.59 = US$1) for every year, so the dollar figures show today's value, not the historical exchange rate. 1 ㎡ = 10.764 ft².
