Opportunities in Japan

In Japan, where population and birthrate are declining, communities around the country are aging rapidly.

Opportunities in Japan

It is one of main reasons that many investors are pessimistic about long-term investment in Japanese stocks.

 In order to maintain economic growth of Japan, it is necessary to improve productivity by innovation.

In addition, it is also necessary to respond to the medical and nursing needs for elderly people as the population ages.

 On the other hand, these circumstances may present us vast opportunities for future growth and investment. Some overseas investors may find these opportunities in Japan from this perspective.

 The increasing number of tourists coming to Japan from overseas may also show the vast opportunities to be discovered taking advantage of its long history, attractive traditional culture and beautiful nature.

As a consumer and investor living in Japan, I gather and disseminate information to long-term foreign investors who think of investing in Japan from this perspective and foreign visitors interested in Japan.

Electricity network in Tokyo was on the brink of a large-scale power outage in late March. The power supply is being imminent challenges for Japan’s economy. In late March, the Japanese government issued the first-ever warning over electricity availability for the first time in history, asking households and companies to cooperate in saving electricity, saying that the tight power supply and strong demand in Tokyo and the Tohoku region could lead to a large-scale power outage as some power plants remain offline following an earthquake that occurred in the Tohoku region on March 16. Larger than usual electricity consumption due to cold weather in late March also reduced spare capacity of power supply in the region. The supply capacity of Japanese electric power companies has been lacking for several years since many of Japan's nuclear reactors have been offline under stricter regulations introduced after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 leaving the country dependent on ther...

Conveyor belt sushi , also known as Kaiten-sushi is a semi-self-service type, inexpensive sushi restaurant where small plates bringing various types of sushi on them are continuously circulated on chain conveyors installed along the seats.  Fresh and well-made sushi can be enjoyed for relatively cheap prices there. Plates typically come with one or two sushi pieces each and customers pick up plates they like. Customers can also place orders through a touch screen at each table when sushi they like is not available on conveyor belts.  Those Sushi are usually served on plates with several colors showing their prices ranging from 100 yen to around 500 yen.
