We use the large-scale freight survey data to examine the historical transition of the logistics facility distribution in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area (TMA) and investigate the possible causal factors for the changes. The analysis revealed the decentralization of logistics facilities during the period 1980-2003 and suggested that the asset price bubble during 1986-1991 was likely a significant factor. In addition, the examination of the relationship between logistic facility locations and land-use regulations indicates the challenges that even a relatively common land-use regulation framework faces. The study offers valuable insights into the spatial distribution of logistics facilities in the largest metropolitan area in the world.
