1. Review the Japanese stocks that you're interested in listed on American exchanges (see Resources 1 for a list of stocks cross-listed in American exchanges). You can also invest in mutual funds that collect a variety of Japanese stocks to gain broad exposure to the market.

Contact the customer service department of your brokerage if you're confused about whether or not it provides access to Japanese stocks. If you open a brokerage account in Japan, don't expect to receive English customer service.
