According to this article, Japanese Budget Airlines are going to accept bitcoins this year. They declared that later this year we can now enjoy flights without bringing our wallets but our bitcoins in our smartphones. As part also of their new innovation they have installed BTMs or Bitcoin ATM on the airport for the convenience of their customers. With this we can expect an increase in tourist visits to Japan.

That's great, and it will be a good start for other countries to recognize Bitcoin . Also, the process will be much faster since people will use their smartphones making the adoption easier.

Yes, this is great and I guess this is no wonder anymore because the Japanese government have already accepted the bitcoin as a medium of exchange so instead of any other currency so now bitcoin can be used for the purchase of air tickets.

Not only the airlines will almost every institution accept it in Japan as they have knowledge of the bitcoin power. When your government accepts it then you have no other option to welcome it.
