Yes, you can visit and tour the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, which offers both free, self-guided visits and scheduled, guided tours of its "TSE Arrows" facility. Visitors can view the, now mostly electronic, trading market center, a history museum, and participate in simulation games.
Tosho Arrows at the Tokyo Stock Exchange is open to the general public. You can visit the Market Center where they monitor sales and purchases, experience stock investment at the Market Experience, and visit the Securities Archives Hall to look back at the pre-war stock exchanges.
Though tours of the building are no longer offered to the general public, visitors can snap a picture of the building's famous, columned façade from outside.
The exchange can be reached by train or taxi. The TSE is a short walk from Kayabacho and Nihombashi stations on the Tozai, Hibiya, and Toei Asakusa lines.
Nowadays, admittance to the trading floor for non-employees is no longer allowed and the entrance is better guarded than most airports. However, tours can still be had — so book in if you want to catch a glimpse of where the world is run.

What is the 3-5-7 rule in the stock market?
The 3-5-7 rule in stock trading is a risk management framework: risk no more than 3% of capital on a single trade, keep total open position exposure under 5%, and aim for profit targets that are at least 7% (or a favorable risk/reward ratio) of your initial risk, protecting capital and promoting discipline. It's popular for beginners because it simplifies risk control, preventing catastrophic losses and fostering consistent, small gains over time.

This means a very small percentage of Americans hold the vast majority of stock market wealth, with the top 1% alone owning about 54%.
World Currency is one of the most famous networks of foreign exchange facilities in Japan and operated by a subsidiary of the Bank of Tokyo. While it supports a lot of currencies (19 at the time of writing), the rates are not as good as you can find elsewhere and you will need to bring your passport with you.
Domestic and international investors can buy Japanese shares directly through local or global brokers. Many international platforms provide access to Japan-listed stocks, while American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) – such as Sony and Panasonic – offer exposure through US markets.
The exchange is owned by Japan Exchange Group (JPX), a holding company that it also lists (TYO: 8697), and operated by Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of JPX.

It's also confused with the general guideline of 100 minus your age for stock/bond allocation (e.g., 70% stocks if 30 years old).
