the first japan bill containing virtual currencies is expected to come on april which recognizes bitcoin as a method of payment.Although,it doesnot define bitcoin as a legal currency,it is still considered as a remarkable progress for bitcoin in japan.Hope, most of tourists who would go to japan to see 2020 olympics would be able to pay in bitcoins.
It is really interesting that japan has not yet accepts Bitcoin as a payment method I thought they already have it advanced thats because they say the founder is from japan but even though Satoshi lived on United stated and Europe. I thought countries like Japan, China, and other Asia countries are ahead of the technology especially in cryptoworld. Well if they don't have it yet I hope they will soon be it is really convenient to pay in online especially as you said 2020 Olympics is coming and japan is also one of the most technology inclined of the world. So I hope bitcoin will be spread through out the japan.
