September 2026 Japanese Shareholder Perks (Yutai) — 9 Holdings, 13 Cross-Trade Candidates, 11 Odd Lots

The short version: To qualify for Japan’s September 2026 shareholder perks (yutai), you need to own the shares at the close of Monday, September 28. Borrowing costs this round are charged for a single day. I qualify for nine perks held outright, worth roughly ¥26,000 in cash-equivalent value. Three companies are running one-off anniversary perks that only exist this September, and Joshin’s famous single-share perk is gone — but buying 100 shares now pays double what it used to. This is my record of the Japanese shareholder perks (yutai) that lock in at the end of September 2026. September is the second-biggest month of the year after March — somewhere between 449 and 459 companies are on the list this time. I qualify for nine perks through shares I already own (about ¥26,000 once you strip out the ones you can’t put a price on), and I’ve also worked through

NISA for Foreigners in Japan: Can You Use It?

Foreigners qualify for NISA by residency, not nationality: a residence card, a My Number, and age 18 or over are enough to invest up to ¥3.6 million a year free of the usual 20.315% tax on gains. The account is tied to your Japan residency, so a permanent departure forces you to close it. Tax-Free Investing in Japan – Your Ultimate Wealth Building Tool NISA for Foreigners in Japan: Can You Use It? Quick answer for foreigners Yes — foreigners can use NISA. Eligibility is by residency, not nationality. If you are a Japan tax resident with a residence card and My Number, aged 18+, you can open a NISA and invest tax-free, just like Japanese residents. The two largest online brokers are Rakuten Securities and SBI Securities (SBI takes applications from foreign nationals by mail only). The big catch: NISA is tied to your Japan residency —
