About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a worldwide network that enables a new digital payment system. It is the first peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet.
It was introduced 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, and then released as open-source software in 2009.
Here are some advantages when using Bitcoin:
- It’s fast
- It’s cheap
- It’s private
- Nobody can steal your payment information
Choosing Your Flight to Japan
If you are fancy about Japan from the start, JAL, the Japanese flag company and ANA, the other great Japanese airline company, connect the land of the rising sun with almost any country of the world.
Of course, you can choose other valid alternatives, such as Middle East companies, from Turkish, China Southern Airlines, Emirates, Qatar, or others like Delta, American or United Airlines (and many other ones).
Once arrived at destination, Japanese airlines offer foreigners or, in any case, Japanese resident abroad various advantageous solutions for purchasing domestic flights throughout Japan, for example toward the hot waters of Okinawa or the wild Hokkaido.
Remember, always book a ticket in advance to save money and eliminate any chances of missing a flight on the travel day.
How to Save Money During Your Travel in Japan
A visit to Japan can be really expensive, if not planned well.
However, there are many methods to save your money. Other than booking in advance your flight, hotel expenses can be reduced as well. Make your research early on low cost deals, better if 5/6 months before you travel. It is easier to get economic rooms in regular hotels, of course it all depends on your needs.
