The result the government released Thursday marks the fourth straight month of gains.
Shipments rose worldwide, with those to Asia up almost 53 percent. Exports to the U.S. grew 30 percent.
Imports rose 20.7 percent, leading to a trade surplus of 948.9 billion yen ($10.2 billion), according to the finance ministry.
