Regulatory intelligence — Japan
Japanese regulators publish first in Japanese, and often only in Japanese. Japan Reg Digest reads the primary documents every business day and sends you the change in English the next morning — with a direct link to the original source.
Six regulators covered. One email each business day. Original source link on every item.
| Regulator | What we track |
|---|---|
| Financial Services Agency (FSA) | Administrative actions, guideline revisions, public consultations, cabinet and ministerial ordinance amendments |
| Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) | Food import inspection notices, violation cases, standards for food additives and residues |
| Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) | Measures orders and surcharge orders under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, labelling standards |
| Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) | Export control list amendments, notices to exporters, industrial standards |
| PMDA | Safety information, package insert revision instructions, approval-related notices |
| Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) | Guideline revisions, administrative guidance, cross-border transfer rules |
We read the official publications of each body. We do not resell any third party's database.
The items below summarise actual publications by Japanese regulators. Each links to the Japanese original, which prevails over our summary.
Verification record. On 24 September 2026 we checked each item above against its Japanese original: date, entity name, amount, legal articles and due date match the source. These are sample items, not a live daily digest; daily delivery starts at launch. Translations are ours and are not legal advice.
Monthly, card payment, cancel any time. No onboarding call, no sales call, no annual lock-in.

We summarise and translate published regulatory documents and link to the original. We do not advise on compliance, interpret obligations for your business, or represent you before any authority.
The Japanese original governs. Every item carries its source link, and you are expected to rely on that document for any decision with legal or financial consequences.
We read official publications of the regulators themselves. We do not redistribute any commercial database or third-party aggregator.
Every digest is machine-drafted and reviewed against the original before it is sent. If we publish a factual error in a translation, we issue a correction to all subscribers the same day and state what was wrong.
