Regulation—Not shown

We checked Shikoku on 2026-10-22 across its company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 49% of its record. The score of 39 is what the checked record adds up to; nothing held it down. The rating stays provisional until more of the record is verified. What would move the score: verified age, transparency, policy risk. No investigation has been published yet, so complaints and reputation are unknown. Its client terms have not been reviewed yet.

Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about Shikoku: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

The company Shikoku is a licensed financial broker based in Japan with its headquarters and principal location in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. The company is registered with the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan and provides various types of investment instruments to meet the needs of investors, such as Investment Trusts (i.e., investment funds), stocks, bonds, forex trading, and commodities.

Shikoku has over 20 years of operational history with no indications of issues relating to the legality of its licence or to the integrity of the products it offers.

The company does not offer any customer support options apart from its main telephone number and does not currently support the use of the Metatrader 4 and 5 (MT4 and MT5) platforms. The only product categories offered by Shikoku that permit dispersion of risk across a wider range of tradable instruments are Investment Trusts and Bonds.

Although Shikoku currently does not have a demo account available, it does not appear to be limited by its prices. It offers the following pricing tiers for its investor products: Domestic Stock Brokerage; Domestic Convertible Bond Brokerage; Foreign Stock Brokerage (0.1980% - 11%); Securities Deposits (JPY 550 - 11,000); and Bank Transfers (JPY 0 - 4,000).

The following information about deposit and withdrawal of funds with Shikoku illustrates the overall service experience offered to potential customers, including the number of days it takes to deposit funds, as well as the additional costs associated with both deposits and withdrawals.

Minimum Amount: JPY 0 - 4,000

Withdrawals: None

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Shikoku appears to be a regulated Japanese brokerage firm that is legitimate and credible by virtue of its long-established history (over 20 years) operating within Japan's regulated environment of the FSA. Therefore, it can be said that Shikoku has a good reputation and the capability to provide traditional investment services.

Because Shikoku does not offer a demo account, does not support modern trading platforms (MT4 and MT5), and has higher than average trading fees, Shikoku is not recommended for active online traders or international clients. However, it does provide excellent traditional investment services, and therefore, can be a good option for those seeking investment services in Japan.
