The Board of Trustees of
Fidelity Japan Fund has
authorized adoption of a
redemption fee of 1.00%
(payable to the fund) on shares
purchased after June 6, 1994,
and held less than 90 days.
The following information
replaces the corresponding
sections with respect to Fidelity

FIDELITY JAPAN FUND
Maximum sales charge on
purchases, beginning
June 1, 1994 (as a % of offering
price) 3.00%
Deferred sales charge on
redemptions None
Redemption fee for shares
purchased after
June 6, 1994 1.00%
The following information
replaces information in the
section entitled "Transaction
Details" begining on page 34.
The Redemption Fee for
Japan, Emerging Markets,
Latin America, and Southeast
Asia, if applicable, will be
deducted from the amount of
your redemption. This fee is
paid to the fund rather than
FMR, and it does not apply to
shares that were acquired
through reinvestment of
distributions. If shares were
not all held for the same length
of time, those shares you held
longest will be redeemed first
for purposes of determining
whether the fee applies.
FDC collects the proceeds from
each fund's sales charge and
may pay a portion of them to
securities dealers who have
sold fund shares, or to others,
including banks and other
financial institutions (qualified
recipients), under special
arrangements in connection
with FDC's sales activities.
The sales charge paid to
qualified recipients is 2.25% of
the offering price (except for
International Growth &
Income Fund which is 1.5%).
The following information
replaces information found in
the section entitled "Sales
Charge Reductions and
Waivers" beginning on page 35.

trustee or officer of a Fidelity

or employee, a Fidelity trustee
or employee acting as
custodian for a minor child, or a
person acting as trustee of a
