This study examined the relationship between land price changes and the Japanese Real Estate Investment Trust (J-
REIT
) in the inner city of Tokyo by using global and local regression techniques. In the beginning of the 21
st century, as a reaction to economic depression, the Japanese Government implemented policies that encouraged structural reforms. These policies included real estate securitization that primarily intended to solve the issue of massive bad loans held by financial institutions. With the support of the Bank of Japan in terms of the easing of money supply, affluent liquidities flew into the real estate market through real estate securitization. The J-
REIT
is the only scheme of real estate securitization that offers shares to the public. A total of 64% of all the properties invested by the J-
REIT
are located in the inner city of Tokyo. Conventional multivariate regression analysis revealed that the J-
REIT
had a significant influence on land price changes every year. Affluent liquidities invested through the J-
REIT
have made positive impacts on the deflation of land prices. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis was applied to clarify whether or not the relationship between land price changes and the J-
REIT
varied in the study area. The results of the GWR analysis indicated that the relationship between land price changes and the J-
REIT
showed a significant, spatial non-stationarity. Areas that benefited from the positive impacts of the J-
REIT
were limited to business districts such as Hibiya, Shinjuku, and Shibuya.
