Every month the Retail Price Survey of the Statistics Bureau of Japan records the price of rice in shops in each prefectural capital (for Tokyo, the 23 wards). This map shows the price of a 5 kg bag of Koshihikari and of other single-variety rice (including tax) in each capital, with the change from the same month a year earlier and the last 13 months. Each colour is the price surveyed in the prefectural capital, not an average for the whole prefecture.

What this map shows

The map colours show the price of a 5 kg bag of rice (including tax) surveyed in each prefectural capital (for Tokyo, the 23 wards). It is not an average for the whole prefecture.

Switch between Koshihikari and other varieties. Choose "Vs a year earlier" to colour each capital by how much the price rose or fell from the same month a year before.

Switch to "By month" and use the slider to see each of the last 13 months.

Tap a prefecture to see both prices in its capital, the prices a year earlier and the trend over 13 months.

Questions and answers

Is the colour the average price for the prefecture?

No. It is the price surveyed in shops in the prefectural capital (for Tokyo, the 23 wards). Prices elsewhere in the prefecture may differ.

When is it updated?

Not on a fixed schedule: when the Statistics Bureau publishes the Retail Price Survey results for a new month (usually once a month).
