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.

Now Japan is showing an example to the whole world, but it will become clear only later how smart where those who were first to follow. Of course there are other countries, like Canada, Switzerland, Australia, USA, South Korea and some others which are Bitcoin friendly, but it looks like Japan is going ahead of them.

i agree with you. so many exchange have been developed by japan and so many projects too. i think they are really into the cryptocurrency especially in bitcoin, i think they really see something that will help their country to boost more particularly in its economy.

Yep, being  the 3d-largest in the world by nominal GDP and the 4th-largest by purchasing power parity Japan still wants to improve its economy. It's funny and sad at the same time that countries  with much worse economical situation don't want to lift a finger.
