A cross with no dollar in it, quoted to two decimals like every yen pair.
Contract size and pip size are market conventions and are the same figures the calculators on this site use.

Releases and decisions that concern the euro or the Japanese yen:
Rate decisions come from the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan. Dates and times for all of these are on the economic calendar, which is updated from the published schedule.
Spread, commission and swap are set by your broker, not by the market, and they differ by account type and by the hour. No single figure would be true for most readers, so none is given here.
The broker directory lists what each firm advertises, attributed and dated, and the spread cost calculator turns whatever your broker charges into money for a given position size.
One pip on a standard lot of EUR/JPY is 1,000.00 JPY, because a pip is 0.01 and a standard lot is 100,000 units. The pair is quoted in JPY, so the value in your own account currency changes with the exchange rate and is not fixed.
A standard lot is 100,000 units, a mini lot is 10,000 and a micro lot is 1,000. This is the standard contract, and it is the same at every broker.
Yen pairs are quoted to three decimals, where the third digit is a fraction of a pip. A pip is the second decimal, 0.01, not the last digit you see moving on the platform.
Tokyo and London are the sessions where the currencies in this pair have their home markets open: 09:00 – 18:00 Tokyo time, 08:00 – 17:00 London time. That is a statement about which centres are trading, not a promise about volatility on any particular day. The live session clock shows which one is open right now.
No. The pair settles in JPY, so each pip is worth a fixed amount of JPY and a moving amount of anything else. If your account is in dollars, euros or taka, the pip value drifts with the exchange rate through the day.
That depends entirely on your broker, your account type and the time of day, so no honest single number exists. The broker directory here lists what each firm advertises, taken from its own site and dated, and the spread cost calculator turns a spread into money for a given position size.
