Modelled scenario: Crypto Asset Exchange Service Provider (angou shisan koukan gyousha) registration with the FSA/JFSA under the Payment Services Act (Shikin Kessai Ho). Japan levies no per-firm annual FSA supervision fee, so the supervision_fee component is included with null amounts. JVCEA self-regulatory membership fees are a separate cost, not a regulator fee.
These figures are planning estimates for a stated representative scenario, not quotes and not legal or financial advice. Regulator fees and capital minimums are sourced from official schedules; professional and substance costs are market estimates with ranges. Your numbers will differ.
