Node software
Bitcoin Core runs on 98% of reachable nodes in Japan and Bitcoin Knots on 2%, less than the 6% Knots share among all nodes on the map. The most common versions are Bitcoin Core 31.1 (31%), Bitcoin Core 32.1 (16%), Bitcoin Core 30.2 (9%).
How nodes connect
9% of the reachable nodes in Japan are reached over IPv6 and 91% over IPv4. Across all nodes on the map the IPv6 share is 10%.
Largest networks
The networks with the most reachable nodes in Japan are KDDI CORPORATION (9%), Limestone Networks, Inc. (6%), Sony Network Communications Inc. (6%). Nodes in data centres are often placed where the provider is registered.
Bitcoin ATMs
2 Bitcoin ATMs are mapped in OpenStreetMap in Japan. Many machines are not mapped, so the real number is likely higher.

About these numbers
Node counts are reachable Bitcoin nodes (nodes that accept incoming connections) seen by the BTC Nodes crawler (btcnodes.io, an independent rebuild of Bitnodes) and placed by IP address with DB-IP Lite, so places are approximate. They are not the number of Bitcoin users. Nodes that run only over Tor, I2P or CJDNS have no location and are not counted for any country. ATMs are machines mapped by volunteers in OpenStreetMap. No node address is published.
