Indonesia became the destination for the first overseas visit chosen by Emperor Naruhito of Japan and Empress Masako. This visit is not merely an ordinary honorary visit, but has important strategic value for both countries. The arrival of Emperor Naruhito to Indonesia is a historic moment that not only strengthens bilateral relations between the two countries, but also has a positive impact on investment and economic cooperation.
Japan, as Indonesia's strategic partner in the Asia-Pacific region, has long maintained a close relationship with this island nation. In the last few decades, Japan has invested a large amount of funds in various development sectors in Indonesia. According to a report by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) as reported by katadata, Japanese investment in Indonesia throughout 2022 reached an impressive figure of US$3.56 billion. During the 2012-2022 period, there were a total of 35,013 Japanese investment projects in Indonesia. Of these, the most Japanese investment projects entered in 2020, namely 8,817 projects. This figure reflects the high confidence of the Japanese side in Indonesia's economic growth potential and stability.

One of the sectors that has become the focus of Japanese investment in Indonesia is the energy sector. In this case, Japan has a significant role in the construction of the Kayan Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) in North Kalimantan. The cooperation between PT Kayan Hydro Energy and Sumitomo Corp to build the Kayan Cascade hydropower plant, the largest hydropower plant in Southeast Asia, has resulted in a profitable agreement for both parties. The signing of this collaboration was carried out last year in Jakarta and was attended by the Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto and the Japanese Ambassador to Indonesia, Kanasugi Kenji. Japan's investment in the Kayan hydropower project demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting the Indonesian government's efforts to develop renewable energy sources.
Not only in the energy sector, Japanese investment has also penetrated other sectors in Indonesia. In the field of infrastructure, Japan plays an active role in the construction of toll roads, ports and railways. In addition, the manufacturing and automotive sectors have also received special attention from Japanese investors. The presence of Japanese companies in Indonesia not only brings new technology and knowledge, but also makes a significant contribution to economic growth and job creation.
Emperor Naruhito's visit to Indonesia provides a strong signal that bilateral relations between Indonesia and Japan are getting closer and mutually beneficial. Last year President Jokowi visited Japan. During the visit President Jokowi had a meeting with Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. As a result, the leaders of Indonesia and Japan agreed to strengthen cooperation in various fields, including trade, investment, human resources and science and technology. Apart from that, the signing of several economic and cooperation agreements was also a positive result of this visit.
It cannot be denied that the presence of Emperor Naruhito in Indonesia has attracted public attention and created an atmosphere full of emotion and surprise. Emperor Naruhito is a figure with his own charm as a head of state who represents the long history of the Japanese royal family. Empress Masako, who accompanied Emperor Naruhito, also has high popularity and is respected by the Indonesian people.
During their 7-day visit, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako visited various places in Indonesia, including historical sites and amazing tourism objects. This not only enriched their personal experience, but also strengthened the cultural and artistic ties between the two countries. As a result, this visit succeeded in attracting public interest and showing the world that the relationship between Indonesia and Japan is one that is rich in historical, cultural and social values. It also provides opportunities to promote Indonesia's tourism potential, enhance the country's positive image, and expand cultural and educational cooperation between the two countries. This is in line with the Indonesian government's efforts to expand the destination market for foreign tourists and strengthen cultural diplomacy.
Emperor Naruhito's visit to Indonesia has had a positive and significant impact on both countries. In addition to strengthening bilateral relations, this visit also brings hope for increased investment and economic cooperation between Indonesia and Japan. In this era of globalization, mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries is the key to achieving sustainable growth and progress. So the visit of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako could be an important milestone in strengthening the strategic relationship between Indonesia and Japan.
