Google announced that it will be opening our first data center in Japan — in Inzai City, Chiba — in 2023. The Chiba data center is part of a $730 million investment in infrastructure that began last year and will continue through 2024.
In a blog post, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “Today, I was pleased to share the details of our new Japan Digitisation Initiative with Prime Minister Kishida. We’re expanding our commitment to build infrastructure, provide digital training and opportunity, and support partners and nonprofits working to bring the benefits of technology to more people. This will give people in Japan faster, more reliable access to our tools and services, support economic activity and jobs, and and connect Japan to the rest of the global digital economy.”
