Despite marking the biggest gain in more than two decades, with nationwide CPI also at a five-year high of 1.3 percent in March from a month earlier, the numbers came in short of median economists' expectations.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday the figures showed that the nation's efforts to reverse decades of deflation were showing positive signs, but analysts noted that when the affects of the April 1 sales tax hike were taken into account, the figures looked less positive and sparked concerns about the Bank of Japan's lofty inflation target.
Analysts here also said that it will be necessary for the Bank of Japan to unveil further monetary easing policies to attract investors back to the market Cheap Air Max TN , but Norihiro Fujito, a senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, said that the data released Friday didn't inspire much hope in additional easing by the bank in the near future.

Japan's automaker issues found traction on the last trading day of the week, despite a comparatively firm yen. Honda rose 1 percent to 3,470 yen, while Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest carmaker Cheap Air Max Tavas , accelerated 0.5 percent to 5,494 yen.
Consumer electronics maker Panasonic Corp. also closed in positive territory Friday, jumping 1.5 percent to close at 1,128 yen.
Medical device maker Terumo Corp. was among the day's notable decliners, sinking 5.3 percent to 1,982 yen Cheap Air Max Tailwind , following a U.S. regulator saying the firm needs to make improvements at one of its facilities in Michigan.
Japan Tobacco made gains Friday, with Japan's largest cigarette firm climbing 1.2 percent to 3,366 yen, after the firm said its group net profit for fiscal 2013 that ended in March jumped 25 percent.
Hitachi Construction was another notable advancer, gaining 1.2 percent to 1,902 yen Cheap Air Max Sequent , following the company reporting its annual income would surpass analysts' expectations, leaping 56 percent to 45 billion yen.
Trading volume on Friday rose to 2.05 billion shares on the Tokyo Exchange's First Section, up from Thursday's volume of 1.91 billion shares, with advancing issues beating declining ones by 1, 202 to 474. (1 U.S. dollar equals 102.06 Japanese yen)
