The xxxJPY pairs only have 2 digits to the right of the decimal. If a third digit exists, it is often referred to as a "fractional pip."

Be careful though! The definition of a pip is the smallest incremental movement and that extra decimal may be referred to as a pip by some brokers. Although confusing, they have every right to do this and are technically correct. You should discuss this with your broker specifically.
