Hi all,

Keen to hear what peoples thoughts are on Japan and if anyone has gotten exposure to it?

My thoughts as to why Japan is a place of potential growth:
A depreciated currency without sacrificing quality of life (good if you want to immigrate..)
An increase in Japan's foreign workers program (a clear acknowledgement of there aging population)
A renewed focus on the investment of semiconductors
Recent Stock Market reforms (missed the boat on this I know...)

There is surely more growth to come out of Japan, and is an area I am looking to gain exposure to.

The only two ETF's have I been able to find are:

Japan ETF - Currency Hedged (BetaShares - HJPN)
iShares MSCI Japan ETF (IJP)

Definitely keen to hear if anyone is aware of any other potential options to get this exposure or there thoughts on Japan as a whole. Maybe I have missed this boat but I still see potential growth.
