The Japanese bitcoin industry has demonstrated exponential growth rates in terms of the increasing adoption of bitcoin for payment, as well as daily trading volumes on local exchanges.

In addition to the Philippines and China, Japan is one of the few markets that consider bitcoin as a digital currency, and not as digital gold and long-term investments.

Some of the largest retailers, hotels, airlines and department stores in Japan take bitkoyn as a way of payment. Moreover, in the coming months, hundreds of thousands of cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and small sales outlets should integrate bitcoin reception through the AirRegi service of the leading Japanese payment service provider Point-of-Sale.
More recently, Mauri, the largest retailer with its chain of department stores in Japan, announced that it began testing bitcohn-payments at its sales points in Shinjuku with BitFlyer, the country's largest bitcoin exchange.

According to the Digital Currency Group, an investment firm focused on bitcoin, which has a stake in BitFlyer, the retail giant will test bitcoin transactions before October 31, which was allocated funds in the amount of 100,000 Japanese yen.
Despite the hardfork, which many analysts had predicted, should lead to a decrease in the cost of bitcoin, the situation began to develop strictly on the contrary, and Japan, as the leading market for the bit-market in the world, demonstrates confidence and stability.
