What is Yahoo! JAPAN

We all know what Google is, and chances are you’ve heard about Yahoo, but what is Yahoo! JAPAN?

First of all, it is not the Yahoo that the rest of the world is familiar with.

Yahoo! JAPAN was created by SoftBank,  and is strictly in Japanese, made for the Japanese audience. It has over 100 services and many mobile apps such as Yahoo News, Yahoo Shopping, Yahoo Weather, and Yahoo Navigation. In addition, Yahoo! JAPAN offers credit cards as well as Paypay, Japan’s No.1 cashless smartphone payment system.

With 79+ billion monthly page views, and evenly distributed demographic of users, Yahoo! JAPAN can reach up to 65% of PC, and 87% of smartphone users in Japan.
