Based on my in-depth review of Shikoku as an independent forex trader, I did not find explicit information regarding inactivity fees in the broker's provided details. Shikoku is an FSA-regulated Japanese firm with a long operational history and a transparent business model in most core areas. The broker clearly lists fees for common activities such as domestic stock and convertible bond trading, foreign stock transactions, securities deposits, and bank transfers. Yet, despite scouring their available fee schedules and customer impressions, I could not locate any direct mention of charges specifically tied to inactive accounts. In my experience, Japanese brokers regulated by the FSA tend to be upfront about service fees, especially those that might affect account holders over time, such as inactivity fees. However, this absence does not categorically guarantee such fees will never apply; sometimes, terms and conditions may change, or less prominent fees are documented elsewhere. Given Shikoku currently offers limited channels for customer support and reportedly can be slow in answering fee-related queries, my cautious advice is always to seek direct confirmation with their support staff before leaving an account dormant for an extended period. Ensuring clarity on possible inactivity charges is an important part of safe risk management in any brokerage relationship.
