Japanese migration to Indonesia
Ethnic group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large-scale Japanese migration to Indonesia dates back to the late 19th century, though there was limited trade contact between Japan and Indonesia as early as the 17th century.[2] As of October 2009[update], there were about 11,263 Japanese expatriates in Indonesia.[1] At the same time, there are also identifiable populations of descendants of early migrants, who may be referred to as Nikkei Indonesians or Indonesian Nikkei.[3][4]
