DBJP's 0.45% expense ratio and hedging costs make unhedged, lower-fee Japanese ETFs more attractive for broad market exposure.

DBJP: Large Cap ETF Is Export Led, Disadvantaged On Yen Rally
The Yen hedge has not been in holders' favor lately as the currency has rallied. Importantly, the Japanese indices themselves are negatively correlated to the Yen as large cap stocks have large foreign markets, with automotive as an example. The generally export-led economy doesn't benefit massively from a stronger Yen, although domestically it might as the Yen declines have become quite extreme.
