TL;DR

In Japan it is treated as a wholesale branch centered on corporate / institutional clients, foreign trade, FX, transaction banking, and support for export-oriented Japanese corporates.

1. License / branch boundary

2. Operating model

Commerzbank states that it opened a Tokyo representative office in 1961 and converted it into a branch in 1977. The Japan page describes the Tokyo branch as a locally established, globally networked platform for Japanese corporate and institutional clients and for Japanese export-oriented corporates worldwide.

The current Commerzbank worldwide PDF lists Tokyo Branch at Toranomon Hills Station Tower and marks both corporate and financial-institution desks, which fits the foreign-bank branch pattern: limited retail relevance, but meaningful B2B, trade, FX, and institutional connectivity.
