Starting out in Japan, looking to invest

Hi all,

I’ve recently started working in Japan and am looking to start investing and would welcome any advice you can offer.

For context, my wife and I are earning a pre-tax total around 12M yen, are fairly careful with our expenses, and are trying to save as much as we can to build up an emergency fund and invest.

We’re planning on staying in Japan for the long-term but may consider returning to Canada at some point.

Overall goal is long-term wealth accumulation, particularly towards retirement, but also hopefully bring in some extra money each year for personal use.

Any thoughts on where to put our money in Japan and abroad, and also about how to actually do it, would be great!

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I’m in my early 30s.
Any insights into the impact on advice of a potential move back to Canada in 10+ years would be helpful.
