Elections for the Japanese House of Councillors were held in Japan in 1998.
Note that because of the circumstances around the creation of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), it held seats in the House of Councillors without having won them in the prior election. Many of them were former members of the New Frontier Party.
