"Growth of activity in the Japanese service sector appeared to lose momentum slightly in November, following October's 26-month high," said Joe Hayes, economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the survey.
"Nonetheless, the expansionary trend which has been apparent since October 2016 was maintained. Businesses remained optimistic that activity would rise in the future."
