            In the relationship between Indonesia and Japan there are a lot of possibilities to have beneficial cooperation, in many major, such as agriculture, education, technology and economics. There are some factors that support the possibility to have cooperation between Indonesia and Japan. Indonesia and Japan have similar condition of location. Both of them are consist of lands and large ocean. That condition causes the danger of some disaster, such as earth quack and tsunami. As all know that both in Indonesia and Japan, earth quacks are common and can be occurs anytime. Earlier the cooperation between Indonesia and Japan, have done when Indonesia, especially Aceh is broke down by earth quack and big tsunami, Japan team was sent to help the victims of the disaster. When Japan broke down by the big tsunami too, in earlier year, the health team of Indonesia was sent to help. That kind of cooperation has to be continued and also developed. If on the past the cooperation is only by sending team to help the victim of disaster, in the future the cooperation may expanses by exchanging education systems as the effort to improve social awareness of disaster, especially in facing earth quacks and tsunami. The cooperation also may develop by exchanging knowledge to provide technology to improve the safety of social life and the readiness of society to face disasters. By the cooperation the amount of disaster’s victims can be minimize and the loss caused by the disaster can be avoided.

Related to the environment and culture in having meals, there is an opportunity to held cooperation between Indonesia and Japan.  Indonesia is good in its agricultures, it has a large field which is supported by a good climate to farm and enough amount of labor, while Japan is good in managing the sources and technology. The field belongs to Indonesia may manage by Japan which in experts in optimizing resources. As known that Japan is under the nuclear radiation that may influence the quality of its environment, includes the quality of plants. Nowadays, Japan needs a space far from the nuclear radiation to guarantee that the plants are safe to consume and to fulfill the demand of food and nutrition. For Indonesia, the cooperation gives opportunity to learn of the technology related to the agriculture, especially in maximize the potency of our agriculture industrialization.

Talking about Japan is talking about Technology. Today Japan is able produce sophisticated stuff or machine which have high variances and rapid change of trend. The other interesting thing is the low cost of production that allows Japan to sell the modern and sophisticated or stuff with lower price to global society. This reality adds positive value to the development of Japan and considered by global. At the present, the trend of global trading is move from, American and European market to Asian, one of the reasons is the ability of Japan as the most developed country in Asia, especially in technology in providing more effective and efficient product to the world. The ability to produce high variance and sophisticated stuff with the low cost is the great combination that became dreams for other countries, included Indonesia. To achieve the dream, the cooperation in education and technology between Indonesia and Japan became one of alternatives that possible to apply. The exchanges of knowledge related to the technology and economics efficiency will influence the development of Indonesia, especially in its capability to produce things, at least to fulfill our own need of technology. For Japan, Indonesia may become main market target for their stuff because Indonesia has big amount of citizen that means a big amount of demand, especially in fulfilling the need of technology.

Based on the explanation above there are a lot of opportunity for Indonesia and Japan to have beneficial cooperation that may causes the systemic changing in positive area for both of the country.
