Is that true ? , A special if used as a tool bitcoin transactions without the need to swap the yen, but I still doubt your opinion. OP probably can provide a reference link associated with the thread, such as the national news in Japan that says that bitcoin will be used by tourists to Japan.

Amazing news about Japan. This is really great if japan will start using bitcoin. I am really a fan for anime culture and mangas there. Since a long time ago, I wanted to visit this country to descover many cultures there. And now when bitcoin will be acceptebale like a method of payment. I want to buy some animes staff there by using my bitcoin. It seems amazing.

Good news and expected too I would say. For,a country like Japan this seems prety normal to me, they are progressive with very developed usage of technologies and open minded. And the more the Bitcoin is fuly accepted all around the world, the better for all of us Bitcoin users.

Not all info coming from this site is legit, so I would take this with a pinch of salt. If this is real, and I have my doubts... then this is good news

for us, but I see this is also linked to some strict requirements. Bitcoin needs no legitimacy from any governments, but when this happens it is

a bonus. If this comes with silly KYC requirements.... then they can stick it up their ass.  

Seems to be at a very early age, many parts of Japan can use BTC to pay
I don't think Japan bill will pass

this is a good news for bitcoiner in here and if we are planning to go to japan, we can use our bitcoin to buying something in japan and we don't have to carrying much of money in our pocket or physical wallet. i hope in that time japan release this, the government will use the bitcoin atm machine so we can trying to use our wallet to buy or sell or withdraw our bitcoin in the same time. i think it will be good for us to test it in reality so we can have this experience and we can telling with our friends how its feel.

That's great news. I'm glad the Japanese are getting into bitcoin. The Chinese pump is about to run its course and we'll need a new group of suckers investors soon. The Japanese are very technologically advanced people that are good at maths and coding. Maybe some Japanese devs can start working on bitcoin and correct the mistakes the western devs have made.

it's great that despite all the fork and the bad news, there are country that have still fate in bitcoin, also strange that they don't make bitcoin legal when they are accepting it as a payment, sound weird to me, but i was seeing this coming because japan is now in the first place with the volume on exchange, they really love to be the first one in new technology

Is this a serious or just nonsense?
Actually this is good information, but why I do not believe the news. It would be nice if the included link or press releases or others who can prove and corroborate this story as a whole so that the information submitted is valid and enlightening.

I think that Japan is also playing safe in this case. Yes they will accept bitcoin as payment, however legalizing the bitcoin itself as a currency used in Japan may be a risk due to bitcoin's instability. Not legalizing the usage of bitcoin immediately but accepting it as payment is a wise move, in my opinion, for Japan so that they can easily ban bitcoin if they encounter any critical risks.
