Japan Data Center Market Overview

Japan is becoming a leading hub for data center development in Asia, fueled by rising digitalization, government initiatives, and strong internet penetration. The country's advanced regulatory framework and robust infrastructure, including excellent inland and submarine cable connectivity, make it an attractive destination for data center investments.

Significant investments are being driven by both global and local players, with a notable presence of hyperscale operators. The Japan Data Center Council, established by the Nippon Data Center Association, works to improve Japan’s IT infrastructure and enhance global connectivity. Major data center operators like NTT Communications, Equinix, Colt Data Centre Services, and Fujitsu are expanding their facilities across key cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Additionally, leading cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google, and Microsoft have established cloud regions in these cities. Despite high construction costs, which range between $12.5 million to $13.5 million per MW, Japan’s data center market is growing rapidly. Tokyo and Osaka, both smart cities, are seeing increasing demand for edge and modular data centers to support faster data processing. Recent expansions include Colt's Inzai 4 facility, STACK Infrastructure’s TOK01 center, and SoftBank’s upcoming AI-focused data center in Osaka. These developments position Japan as a critical player in the global digital economy. 

Growth of Third-Party Data Center Facilities in Japan

Japan's data center market is experiencing gradual growth, with over 110 existing colocation data centers spread across the country, most of which are concentrated in Tokyo. The colocation sector is thriving, with the occupancy rate in these facilities ranging between 85% and 90%. Both Tokyo and Osaka have particularly high absorption rates, and edge deployments are becoming more common, especially with the expansion of 5G connectivity.

The Japanese colocation market is dominated by major operators such as Equinix, NTT Communications, MC Digital Realty, AirTrunk, Colt Data Centre Services, and Fujitsu. Tokyo remains the central hub due to its dense business activities and advanced technological infrastructure. New entrants, including Vantage Data Centers, Empyrion Digital, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, and others, are also making their mark in the market, further diversifying the landscape.

The rise of self-built hyperscale data centers by global giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) is reshaping the Japanese market. These hyperscale operators are shifting their workloads to their own facilities, potentially impacting the colocation market by reducing revenue opportunities for colocation providers.

In 2024, retail colocation accounted for the largest portion of the market share, while wholesale colocation is expected to gain ground in the coming years. Leading colocation operators like Equinix and Digital Realty continue to generate significant revenue, with both companies seeing strong performance in the Tokyo and Osaka markets. 

Tokyo as a Strategic Data Center Hub

Tokyo, one of the most prominent cities in Japan and globally, serves as a strategic hub for businesses, offering a robust infrastructure that includes advanced connectivity, secure facilities, and government policies that support digital innovation. The city hosts numerous ICT companies, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Lenovo, and NetApp, and is a leading startup ecosystem, making it a focal point for data center investments in Japan.

Data Center Landscape in Tokyo

As of December 2024, Tokyo boasts around 67 existing data center facilities. It is home to local and global operators such as Equinix, AT TOKYO, Telehouse, NTT Communications, MC Digital Realty, Colt Data Centre Services, and AirTrunk. Major cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle, have dedicated cloud regions in the city, reinforcing Tokyo's importance in the global cloud infrastructure landscape.

Advanced Connectivity and Infrastructure

Tokyo offers one of the world's most advanced telecommunications networks, with high-speed internet and extensive fiber-optic connectivity. It serves as a key landing point for trans-Pacific submarine cables, ensuring low-latency, high-reliability global connections.

Recent Developments

Several new data center projects are underway in Tokyo. Notable developments include Colt Data Centre Services’ Inzai 4 facility, Keppel Data Centres' AI-ready hyperscale data center, and STACK Infrastructure's TOK01 in Greater Tokyo’s Inzai district. In addition, Empyrion Digital, AT TOKYO, and Ada Infrastructure are contributing to the city's growing data center landscape, further positioning Tokyo as a leading destination for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads.
