About the brand ❤️
Yahoo! Japan is one of the country’s dominant web portals, launched in 1996 and now part of LY Corporation. Built around daily-use services—news, email, search (using Google tech), auctions, shopping, finance, and maps—it serves tens of millions in Japan. From its HQ in Kioi Tower, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Yahoo! Japan anchors an ecosystem that also includes LINE and PayPay under the SoftBank–Naver umbrella. Following the 2023 creation of LY, the brand continues to evolve toward an integrated “life platform” while retaining its familiar portal experience.
