To convert from are to , you need to understand their relationship in terms of square meters. Since 1 are equals 100 m2, and 1 equals approximately 1.62 m2, the conversion formula is straightforward:

jō = a ⋅ 100 / 1.62

Similarly, to convert from to are, you reverse the calculation:

are = jō ⋅ 1.62 / 100
