According to the June Tankan (Short-Term Economic Survey of Enterprises in Japan), firms seem to have increased their fixed investment this fiscal year, as they did last fiscal year.
The plans of large manufacturing firms in particular marked a high level at this time of the year, the highest since fiscal 2004, reflecting in part an increase in domestic investment as it appears that the situation of a weaker yen will be prolonged. The continued positive investment stance appears to suggest that firms consider the current weakness in exports and production as temporary.
