I found that OJ, the market identifier for NASDAQ Japan in the 4.2 spec, is merged with Q for Jasdaq as XJAS in the 4.4 spec. But, NASDAQ Japan has turned into Hercules and been actually a sub market of OSAKA Stock Exchange. Jasdaq on the other hand is a market for over-the-counter stocks and is totally different entity from NASDAQ Japan.
FIX 4.4 uses the ISO 10383 Market Identifier Code (MIC) which are maintained and distributed via:

According to the most recent list, Hercules in Japan should be “XHER” for “NIPPON NEW MARKET - HERCULES”.
