*Tsubo is an area unit in the Japanese system of weights and measures (1 tsubo equals around 3.31 square meters).
**The reason that the average number of tsubo decreased in fiscal year 2012 was that approximately 1,400 small stores with a size of 1 to 49 tsubo, which were undetermined until fiscal year 2011, were included in fiscal year 2012.
The source provides the following information: "Some stores include sales floor area for items other than books, magazines, and comics."
