Japan is famous for many things; its technology, crowded yet tidy cities, beautiful natural sights, a culture that is older than a thousand years, and even the country that has the longest life expectancy. When we think about what average height is, it is as its name itself, the height average of the people that live in a certain area; it can be a city, a country, or another place.

It can be observed from the statistics given that the new generation’s average height is not higher than the 20-49-year-old Japanese people. According to Japan’s National Health and Nutrition Survey, the average height for a man in Japan was only 160.3 cm (5 feet 2 inches) and the average height for women in Japan was only 148.9 cm (4 feet 9 inches) 70 years ago, which shows that there is approximately 10 cm height increase in Japan over the 70 years. The peak height average in Japan is between the ages 35-39, that is people born between 1983-1987. But after that, a study shows that there is a decline in the height average in Japan. The reason for the height increase until the late 80s was the better health conditions, nutrition, and physical exercise that the government tried to make a habit for society. However, the reason for the decline in the average height is thought to be linked to the recent low birth weight in infants in Japan.

Average Male Height in Japan

The average male height in Japan is 170.8 cm (5 feet 7.2 inches), which is the exact height of 50-54 years old Japanese people. When we compare it to the US male average height, it is 5 cm shorter (1.8 inches). And if we compare it to the European male average height, this time it is almost 10 cm shorter (3.8 inches), which is expected because Europe’s height average is the highest, compared to the other continents. However, when the global average height of men is considered, Japan is considerably not that short at all. The average height of a man in the world is 171 cm (5 feet 7.3 inches), which is only 0.2 cm taller than the average height of Japan.
