Secure Business Climate for Foreign Firms
With corporate activities becoming increasingly global, the
Japanese market was once seen by many foreign companies as a
closed market because of high business cost, closed nature and
peculiarity. Such a perception is particularly strong among those
foreign companies which have little experience in doing business in
Japan, and it has taken root firmly as a misperception about Japan.
According to the results of a survey conducted by JETRO in 2007 on
attitudes of foreign-affiliated companies toward direct investment in
Japan 
(Chart 1),
substantial improvement was seen in their perception
about the climate of the Japanese market for foreign companies in
terms of high business cost, closed nature, peculiarity and administra-

tive procedures. Undoubtedly, business cost is still relatively high in
Japan as exemplified by the corporate tax. But a secure climate for
foreign companies doing business in Japan is in place as shown by,
among other things, sufficient infrastructure for information/telecom-
munications and good conditions for intellectual property protection.
Table 2 
shows returns on investments in foreign markets by US
businesses that were calculated based on statistical data released by
the US Department of Commerce. The rates of return on direct
investments in the Japanese market by US companies average about
13% on an all-industry basis, the highest among major industrialized
countries. Investment returns in electrical machinery, professional,
scientific and technical services, transportation equipment, and
finance (except depository institutions) and insurance represent the
highest levels in Japan. In other sectors as well, rates are higher
than those in other industrialized countries. These figures indicate
that the business climate in Japan can be regarded as satisfactory for
foreign companies.
As for the living environment in Japan, foreign business people
can also enjoy a variety of dishes and cultures from around the
world, and lead safe and comfortable lives. For instance, the
Michelin Guide Tokyo 2009 described Tokyo as the hub of gastrono-
my – a city with the largest number of star-rated restaurants in the
world. Japan well surpasses other countries and regions in terms of
a safe and comfortable living environment.
