Everentia Inc. of Tokyo, which operates the "Japacoco Indonesia" site (https://www.facebook.com/japacoco.id/), will set up "Japacoco Store," an EC mall specializing in Japanese products, jointly with PT Mutiara Ekanatha Asia (MEA) of Jakarta, Indonesia, on Jan. 15, 2015.

Everentia, which has operated the "Japacoco Indonesia" Facebook page since June 2014, created "Japacoco Media" (http://japacocomedia.com/), a more advanced information website, in December ahead of the establishment of Japacoco Store. The company also plans to open an information website specializing in the so-called "otaku" (geek) culture as well as one specializing in fashion.

What is 'Japacoco Indonesia' which communicates info on what is going on in Japan to Indonesia?

Japacoco Indonesia, an information website, is a Facebook page that introduces Japanese culture, fashion, travel information and otaku culture among other information to Indonesia. Through social media, Japacoco Indonesia proactively communicates with Indonesian people, and got 100,000 "likes" over a six-month period from its establishment.

Services for Indonesian people highly interested in Japan

MEA has decided to open Japacoco Store, the first EC mall specializing in Japanese products, to help develop services connecting Japan with Indonesia, which is one of the goals for Everentia. The site is scheduled to open on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015, and will initially deal with approximately 1,000 items.
