No minimum deposit amount! awesome!!

Whether you want to invest in stocks or forex, you can get them here. The broker charges some fees such as a service usage fee, and withdrawals below 1,000 yen has some limitations. But it's all open and transparent, and it's easy to find on their website. Well, at least I know what's going on, instead of being induced to invest and then being deducted a lot.

The good part is that you trade with this broker without any limitations on the minimum deposit, and you can also enjoy competitive spreads. Like most traditional Japanese securities firm, account-opening process can be troublesome, and its customer support is not that responsive. Maybe you have better choices…

Accessing funds is convenient, and the exchange rates are reasonable. The staff members are highly professional and courteous. Unfortunately, they charge for managing overnight positions/overnight interest on non-overnight interest accounts. I had to close the account because the management fees accumulate quickly and are charged daily, becoming substantial over time.
