Ah, that is very interesting. I am not knowledgable about Japanese culture, so my answer was addressing "why pay with Bitcoin" generally.

  Japanese culture is so hard to predict when it comes to tech uptake - you see an 80-year old man play with his Nintendo DS at the bus stop, Kyoto City is covered by free Wifi, Internet is fast and cheap, but the ATM closes down at 6pm and your hotel room advertises free fax (which you may actually end up needing)

    Atm does not close anymore at 6pm. You are 10 years behind.

      Do they still charge a modest (150 yen'ish) fee after hours? ;)

        Depends on your bank. Traditional ones do. Lots of upstart banks (like Rakuten, Aeon) that don't.

      Yeah, they close at 9pm now

        Well the machines get tired and need to go to bed after 9:30pm so it's perfectly reasonable.

          Well if the boss is still around until 12pm the machine can work just a little bit longer...
