The police arrested Hana Hidaka on suspicion of attempted murder of her father Yoshihiro, 61, by assaulting him with the weapon at around 3 am Monday at the house in Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture, they said.
The police responded to a call by the 33-year-old daughter, who told them that her father beat her.
She had also called the police at around 5.30 pm the previous day, they added.
An official of the Iwata-based company that manufactures motorcycles and other vehicles said it will refrain from commenting on the allegation as it is "a private matter that is under investigation."
