Ekiten, a store review and ranking website operated by Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE First Section 6048), surpassed 3 million cumulative reviews in July 2019. To commemorate this milestone, we are releasing an infographic that shows various statistics related to Ekiten at a glance. We are also announcing a special campaign to express our gratitude to our customers.
■Osaka is by far the number one prefecture in terms of the average number of reviews posted per store!
When comparing the average number of reviews posted per store by prefecture, Osaka Prefecture comes in first, Kyoto Prefecture in second, and Tokyo in third place. Osaka Prefecture is by far the top of the list, with Kyoto in the Kinki region coming in second, providing some interesting data. When looking at the average number of reviews posted per store by station, Oji Station in Kita Ward, Tokyo, comes in first. This appears to be due to the fact that the prefecture has popular stores where word of mouth leads to more word of mouth.
■More than 200,000 reviews posted per month! July was the month with the most reviews posted.
Looking at the number of reviews posted by month, it turns out that there are over 200,000 reviews posted every month. Because Ekiten lists information on stores of all genres, a variety of reviews are posted consistently throughout the year. Incidentally, the month with the most reviews is July, with a whopping 270,000 reviews.
■ "Ekiten" is Japan's largest review and ranking site with information on approximately 465 million stores
Ekiten is a website that lists information on stores of all genres across Japan. It has been 12 years since it opened in 2007 as a site where users can search for stores around stations (eki), which are the center of people's lives. In April 2019, it also supported store searches based on approximately 206,000 bus stops. It has become increasingly convenient and easy to use, connecting users searching for stores with stores across the country.
■We are currently running a special campaign to express our gratitude for the 300 million reviews we have received!
To commemorate the total number of reviews posted exceeding 300 million, a special campaign for users is also being held.
