That's really sad. I have also always seen Japan as one of the most sucessful country in the world, and I always wanted to visit it once. But in the last few ye ars I realized that things are not going well there.

This year I will finially be able to visit it, shortly on the side of a business trip. I'm still very excited but I realize that it's not the Japan I imagined when I was younger, or at least not anymore.

Do you know if Bitcoin is popular there? Will I be able to spend some in touristic area? (I will be mostly in Osaka).

Spending BTC is basically non existant in Japan. But touristy spots etc are still booming. Still very much enjoyable for tourists.

What do you mean by "but touristy spots etc"?

If you mean that it's still a nice place for tourism, obviously it is, but many small shops, bar like the retro games bar and video games arcades closed down or changed drastically since 10-15 years. Not only due to the economy but when economy is tough, it's only the most profitable business that stay alive and they are not necessarly the most interesting ones.

Look at these arcades games full of UFO catcher and other gambling-like machines. Boring as fuck but extremly profitable apparently.
