"Japan: No Bitcoin Tax, Thousands of Stores to Accept the Cryptocurrency"

"AirRegi is a widely used, tablet-based point-of-sale app in Japan. Currently, around 260,000 establishments, stores, and commercial facilities use this proprietary app to accept payments from their clients."

It makes sense that a transition to accept bitcoin would be underway for more US-based stores.
If only all countries around the worl is as progressive and is as advanced as japan is then goodbye fiat money and hello to cryptocurrencies.
We cannot expect every single country to be like Japan, in fact I did not thought that a country will adopt bitcoin as fast as Japan did, it is very likely they are thinking that bitcoin is offering an opportunity to make their economy more prosperous and that is why they have decide to adopt bitcoin despite the reservations that other countries like China and the US have about bitcoin.
