The aim of this paper is to review the current standing of Japanese-Visegrád-4 (V4, with Poland, Hungary, The Czech Republic, and Slovakia) relations within the context of the Japan-European Union (EU) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA). After looking into statistics of trade and facts between Japan, the V4, and the EU, we will list possibilities for expansion of V4 exports to Japan and provide some starting points for further necessary surveys/research in the issue.
