Indonesia

Indonesia is a country that stretches over the equator and spreads to about 5,000 km both to the west and east, consisting of more than 14,000 islands. Due to this diversity, Indonesia is a multiracial state, each island having specific dishes and customs. About 90% of the population believe Islam and this religion bundles the nation’s conciousness. Regarding sightseeing, Indonesia has the famous resorts like Bali and so the country is familiar to the Japanese people. Although the country overcame the economic crisis of 1997, a big earthquake and “tsunami” disaster hit Aceh and other parts of Sumatra island in 2004. The country has felt the impact of the economic crisis of 2008 but thanks to the government’s financial stability program and economic stimulation programs, supported by active domestic consumption, the country has maintained relatively high growth rate. Indonesia is a country of many possibilities
