Japanese shareholder benefits are known as kabunushi yūtai. A Tokyo-listed holding can unlock tickets, meals or products. Buying the shares is the first step; each issuer then decides whether your holding qualifies.

Dealing considerations
A trading lot is not a perk threshold
Japan’s domestic exchanges standardised their trading unit at 100 shares in 2018. That is the size of a regular trading lot, not a promise that every company offers a benefit at that holding. Read the issuer’s share threshold and any continuous-ownership requirement separately.
Allow time for settlement
Japanese stock trades settle two business days after the trade date, known as T+2. The issuer counts shareholders on its list at the record date. Buying on that date is too late for a regular trade to settle in time. Confirm the last eligible trading day with your broker, including Japanese market holidays.
Check registration and delivery before relying on a benefit
Oriental Land, for example, requires shares held in your own name through a participating securities company. It warns that overseas residents without a mailing destination in Japan may not qualify. Each issuer sets its own conditions. Ask your broker whose name reaches the issuer’s register and whether it handles the specific benefit.
Brokers and charges
Compare the dealing terms below for selected brokers. Before buying, check the issuer’s eligibility rules and ask your broker what help it provides with the claim.
