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.

Japan has become pioneer in accepting bitcoin legally.Definitely it has boosted the price of bitcoin more.It has become an eye opener for other countries to adopt bitcoin.

I agree with you if more country will accept bitcoin. The more country demands the price will go up Japan adaption is the biggest driving force behind bitcoin even south korea encourage people to turn to bitcoin because it can be a more stable way to conduct transactions.

Japan has already declared bitcoin to be a legal currency and so we shall see many big companies and multinationals adopts bitcoins in near future. Since many of the companies in japan are multi-national, this means bitcoin will be adopted by such companies worldwide making it a real big booster for bitcoin itself.

Not necessarily. Just because a Company is multinational doesn't mean that it can adopt the same policies worldwide. The same Japanese airline might not be able to implement this policy in China, because it would run foul of local regulations.
