What kind of places in which cities accept Bitcoin?

-> It's actually improving now and there are more than handful places in Tokyo which accept Lightning payments. My favorite is Cocorotus' kitchen cars across Tokyo. They sell delicious bento for Lightning and I recommend checking them out when you visit Japan.

The thing is merchant adoption in Japan were very limited before, but over the last year or so, we started doing a better job organizing pop-up shops and Bitcoiners selling goods and services for Bitcoin themselves, rather than trying to convince regular merchants, who're not interested or persistent enough.

The Lightning Marche, which was also a huge success during Bitcoin Tokyo 2024 is also a key driver for this movement and we've got some coverage by a national newspaper earlier this year as well.
