Walmart has tied up with Japan's e-commerce giant Rakuten to open its first online store in Japan to sell over 1200 items including clothing, outdoor items and toys from US brands. The "Walmart Rakuten Ichiba Store" will be hosted on the Rakuten Ichiba digital "shopping mall", the country's largest e-commerce site. This move will help Walmart to capture the 16.5 trillion yen Japanese e-commerce market.
