List of Japanese prefectures by GDP

Prefectural statistics are estimates of economic activity at the prefecture level calculated in accordance with Japan's national accounts.

The article lists the GDP of Japanese prefectures in main fiscal years, where all figures are obtained from the Statistics Bureau of Japan (日本統計局).

Calculating GDP of Japanese prefectures is based on Japanese yen (JP¥), for easy comparison, all the GDP figures are converted into United States dollar (US$) or Renminbi (CN¥) according to current annual average exchange rates.

Note that due to heavy changes in yen/yuan/dollar rates, nominal GDP may not reflect relative economic strength in foreign currency terms, meaning that comparisons between years and prefectures are most meaningful in the native currency, the yen.

That is less than the revised 2011 figure for China of 47.16 trillion yuan.
