The value of a country's currency rises and falls relative to currencies elsewhere in line with the laws of supply and demand... due to a yawning gulf in interest rates between Japan and the United States.
For investors, higher interest rates in the US mean an opportunity to make much higher returns on investments, ... than they can in Japan. The more investors sell the yen, the more it declines in value.
