I’ve been to Japan a few times (business trips). The last time I was there was in 2016. What was interesting is how few shops accepted cards, unlike the country where I’m based now. I always had to go to an ATM before buying anything. Is it still like that?

Yes. So behind with money here. Even my local grocery store doesn’t accept them. But I think that could be due to being in a rural area.

And how about Bitcoin? Is there any adoption by the merchants?
