This is an escalator tour and also update to all escalators at Sarinah Mall, Jakarta. At that time (October 2, 2022) escalators in the main atrium are going in one way. So, if you want to go down, you have to use the escalator inside department store.
If on March 22, 2022 the escalators in department store are only serve until 3rd floor, now all escalators there from Basement to 6th floor are operating. Surprisingly, it tunred out that the 4th floor is for Sarinah Duty Free, but sadly, I can't go to the 6th floor because it seems like a restricted area.
Speaking of the vintage Hitachi escalator, I think it will not operating again since there is a sign in the front of it that said "The first escalator in Indonesia since 1966". So, it probably only for display.
*A Short Story about Sarinah and its Escalators*
Sarinah was build in 1962 and was inaugurated in 1966 by President Soekarno. This mall was built by war reparations from Japanese Government as a compensation for 3,5 years colonialism during March 1942 - August 1945.
When this mall has opened, there are the first escalator in Indonesia made by Hitachi. After 54 years operating, those escalators are replaced by Schindler along with the massive renovation of the building. The escalator that preserved is the one that have many original components.
