Last update: 7 hours ago

AI Funding: Anthropic is seeking up to $3.5 billion from Japanese investors ahead of its U.S. IPO, with Mizuho leading the Japan tranche. Energy Costs: Surging fuel costs have pushed Japan’s electricity prices to a four-year high, adding pressure on businesses and households. Tourism: Hotel rates rose 8.8% year on year to ¥20,657 in September as inbound demand lifted Tokyo prices; Osaka rates eased from Expo-driven highs. Demographics: Japan’s median age reached 50.5 in 2025, sharpening concerns over labor shortages and rising social costs. Mobility: Toyota and Waymo plan to bring bZ4X robotaxis to Japan in 2027, expanding their autonomous-driving partnership. Overseas Investment: Blackstone and Canadian pension funds committed $3.1 billion to Mitsubishi’s LNG Canada stake, bolstering Japan-linked energy investment.
