Japan’s Green Energy Push Accelerates Data Center Market Expansion

Japan is rapidly advancing toward carbon neutrality by 2050, aiming to cut emissions by 60% by 2035 and 73% by 2040 from 2013 levels. This push for clean energy, boosting renewable and nuclear power to 40%-50% and 20% of the electricity mix by 2040, is closely tied to attracting data centers and semiconductor facilities. Illustrating this momentum, Google signed a virtual Power Purchase Agreement with JERA Cross in September 2025 for its Inzai data center, sourcing solar power through Non-Fossil Certificates. These efforts highlight Japan’s strategy of combining sustainable energy innovation with digital infrastructure expansion, setting a benchmark for sustainable growth in the region.

 

Japan Data Center Market – Key Highlights

• Japan has about 119 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards.
• Tokyo is the top data center destination in the country. It continues to be Japan leading hub for data center expansion, marked by a concentrated growth in advanced facilities, hyperscale data centers, and dedicated cloud regions. As of June 2025, there are around 74 existing and 26 upcoming data centers in Tokyo.
• The trend of liquid cooling in Japanese data centers is growing due to the increasing demand for High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI workloads, and energy efficiency. Liquid cooling is more efficient than air cooling, as liquids can absorb and transfer heat more effectively than air.
• After Tokyo and Osaka, the demand for data center investments in locations such as Hokkaido, Kyushu, Nagoya, and Yokohama will increase.

 

Japan’s Push to Become the World’s Most AI-Friendly Nation Spurs Data Center Market Growth

Japan is aiming to become the world’s most AI-friendly nation by actively, promoting development through strategic policies, targeted investments, and international collaborations. The nation’s data centers are increasingly adopting AI technologies, including AI-driven cooling and workload optimization, to meet the rising demand for High-Performance Computing (HPC), fueling growth in AI, cloud computing, and digital transformation sectors. Since launching its National AI Strategy in 2019, the Japan AI Office has strengthened the ecosystem, deployed AI across key government sectors, and enhanced competitive assets in priority industries. With robust infrastructure, an AI-friendly regulatory environment, and global connectivity via submarine cables, Japan is one of the most established AI markets in APAC. Tokyo and Osaka remain the primary AI-ready data center hubs, while Hokkaido, Fukuoka, and Nagoya are emerging as strategic centers set to support Japan’s expanding AI infrastructure in the coming years.

 

Japan’s IoT and Big Data Power Smart City and Data Center Growth

Japan is leveraging big data and IoT to accelerate innovation, enhance efficiency, and advance its Society 5.0 smart city vision, transforming healthcare, transportation, and energy sectors. By integrating cyberspace with physical space, the initiative addresses societal challenges, promotes sustainable urban development, and improves quality of life. This growing adoption of big data and IoT is directly driving market growth. The Japanese IoT market is projected to reach $31 billion by 2025, growing 7% annually to $42 billion by 2030, with SMEs increasingly leveraging these technologies for strategic advantage. The massive data generated is fueling data center expansion, higher rack densities, and demand for advanced power and cooling systems, directly linking technology adoption to market growth and infrastructure development.
