@ffls775 There's a large semiconductor industry, yes, automotive, industrial, power semiconductors, sensor devices, specialised stuff. But maybe a little too focused on legacy products and a little aging if my impression is correct? A lot of these are long running products though that don't change all that much decade by decade, new engineering insight has been drying up because the product is well polished, and the well-worn processes are better than fresh ones for a number of things. Legacy customers too, the likes of Toyota and Aisin don't necessarily like change. But just go ahead look through product catalogue of Toshiba semiconductor, Rohm and Renesas, these should be the largest ones. A number of smaller companies are now in Taiwanese hand but should still be manufacturing in Japan i guess.
