On March 7, according to bitcoin.com, the four hottest nightclubs in Tokyo will accept BCH payment.
However, all this is thanks to the support and promotion of an avid BCH enthusiast, Akane Yokoo, who is one of the organizers of the Tokyo BCH meetup. With his active promotion, four of the hottest nightclubs in Tokyo will accept BCH Pay for alcohol and entertainment services.
Since Japan legalized cryptocurrency payments in April 2017, the country is making a big push to accept digital currency payments at merchants and businesses and to promote fiat-to-digital currency exchanges.
Japan is one of the third largest countries to support BCH payments. At the time of writing, 57 different merchants in Japan support BCH payments. At the beginning, only Mezzo (Mezzo is a luxury lounge in Tokyo that already accepts BCH for drinks, catering and other entertainment services) was willing to accept BCH payments. Recently, Akane Yokoo convinced the owner of Mezzo to convince three other nightclubs in Tokyo (V2, Ele , Villa) accept BCH payment.
Yokoo explained that the Tokyo BCH meetup is often held at Mezzo, which is considered one of the hottest nightclubs in Tokyo. In addition, the club accepts bitcoin payments directly through Bitcoin.coms wallet, which means consumers can pay Mezzo directly in bitcoins instead of going through a payment processor to convert bitcoins into yen and pay nightclubs (such as Starbucks and Bakkt , in order to use Bitcoin to buy coffee at Starbucks, consumers must first use Bakkts payment software to convert Bitcoin into US dollars before they can use it).
“We are really excited to see that the biggest nightclubs in Tokyo are already accepting BCH payments,” Yokoo said excitedly. “It will be good for foreign tourists who want to use BCH when they come to Tokyo and want to go to nightclubs at the same time.”
