Japan has a diversified economy, which is built around the importation of raw materials and the exportation of refined goods.

Japan is also home to 25 of the world’s top 100 largest manufacturers, including Nissan, Panasonic and Sony.
Tourism also plays a key role in Japan’s economy, with 10.4 million tourists having visited in 2013. Japan’s capital, Tokyo, has also been successfully chosen as the host for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which will significantly increase tourism and industry specific revenue throughout Japan. The capital is also one of the most visited cities in the world for business. This is unsurprising as the city is home to some of the world’s most prolific businesses, including the second largest stock exchange in the world, the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
