Railway and Bitcoin
If Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are used in the payment system of Japan Railway, the first presence of cryptocurrencies in the world of retail will be seen in a widespread manner.

Acceptance of Bitcoin in Japan
Japan is one of the best infrastructures for beginning to use cryptocurrencies in more tangible applications. For example, experts say that this very acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a way for paying transportation fees in this country will be met with enthusiasm. Why is that? The reason is that public awareness of cryptocurrencies in Japan is much more than other countries in the world. Japan has always been among the pioneers in accepting and using new technologies. The same story applies in the case of cryptocurrencies. The acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and of course using them in fields such as transportation can yield great boom in any respective field.
In addition to the public awareness of cryptocurrencies in Japan, the government’s support is another reason for the development of these new cryptocurrencies in the market of Japan. Japanese shops that use cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as a means of payment have been met with enthusiasm from the people. At the beginning of using cryptocurrencies for payments, it was predicted that foreign tourists will use these more than the people of Japan, but this did not turn out to be true, and many Japanese people were open to the idea of paying for their shopping with cryptocurrencies. Among other main reasons for the success of cryptocurrencies in Japan is the support of organizations, investors, and large Japanese companies. The support of these companies plays an important role in the development of cryptocurrencies.
