Consumer prices in Japan were up just 0.2 percent on year in October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said on Friday.
That was in line with expectations and down from 0.7 percent in September.
Core CPI came in at 0.8 percent on year - again matching forecasts and up from 0.7 percent in the previous month.
On a monthly basis, overall inflation was flat and core CPI added 0.2 percent.
