If it was here, I would guess hornbeam. If it is in Japan it may very well be japanese elm. They are so similar and environment makes a difference In how they look.

But the background tells me it is self sown, so where it is and what trees can be found there makes a difference.

It's an American elm tree (ulmus americana). Could also be zelkova serrata but definitely not any known species of hornbeam. Cheers!
