I'm curious, could you possibly enlighten me on a matter? It's something that's been piquing my interest lately. Here goes: is it actually feasible to purchase cryptocurrency in Japan? I've heard rumors about its legality and availability in the country, but I'm still a bit hazy on the specifics. Could you please clarify the situation for me? Are there any specific exchanges or platforms that cater to this? And, more importantly, are there any legal restrictions or regulations that one should be aware of? I'd really appreciate it if you could shed some light on this matter for me. Can you buy crypto in Japan?
