Japanese companies are flush with money, but the problem is demand and not supply. Japan has an declining population and even faster declining working age population. Combine this with the sales tax increase and a slowdown in China and you have a lot of headwinds facing their economy. Companies in the rich world are investing abroad because there are just a lot better opportunities for growth abroad.

Abenomics is attempting to stimulate demand through a combination of fiscal stimulus (direct demand from the Government) and monetary stimulus (long term interest rates unattractive make local investments more attractive). A weak Yen is actually great for Japan as it's a net exporting country.
