Forex trading is regulated in Japan. The country currently has 25 brokers operating under its regulatory framework. Always verify a broker's licence with the JFSA before depositing funds.

Leverage limits vary by jurisdiction. Under JFSA rules, traders in Japan are subject to local leverage restrictions, capped at 1:25 for major pairs. Check the specific broker's terms for the leverage available to residents of Japan.
