According to a new law from 2018/19 it's normally illegal to operate btc ATMs in Japan

I know there are 2 listed but only checked the one in Akihabara some months ago. Unfortunately it was turned off so I cannot give any info about the fees.

Thank you.
There's an article in Cointelegraph from August 2022 saying that the machines were turned back on: https://cointelegraph.com/news/after-four-years-japan-brings-back-its-first-crypto-atm. However, the situation may have already changed -- who knows.
The article also states that the machines require registering with the company. I suppose that entails showing an identification card but I do not know.
