Japan has the most widespread adoption of cryptos also by his government
other noticeable places are Switzerland that is called the “Crypto Valley” and has a huge ecosystem and active companies promoting.
Singapore is another fast moving country in the space and many ICO are registered there.

Japan is the undisputed best country in the world for bitcoin, it has given some form of legal framework for bitcoin to be recognized as an alternative means   of payment and exchange, I don't think any other country has done this. I stand to be corrected though.

    In what countries is it easy to find retailers and other service providers that are set up to receive Bitcoin for payment?

I would recommend a small, but a modern EU country Lithuania, yes I am from here, but that is not a main reason.
We have a blockchain centre in a capital city Vilnius, exchange places for cryptocurrencies, people who are really good in the blockchain market. Our business companies and a government support ideas of modern tendencies. Also we have competitive ICO projects in a world market and great IT specialists!

[ramayjen]

Based on the answers. Yes, Japan is the best country for bitcoin. They also planning to become the Bitcoin Capital of the World.

[Artkuz]

If we are talking about the state of Japan, then we can single out the following strategic goal when creating a crypto currency market:
"The strategy of the Japanese government is to attract international investors the maximum freedom of crypto currency in this country, while the whole world will try to limit it by various means."

Bitcoin in Japan   

This Asian country is known worldwide as one of the friendliest countries on earth towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Japan is one of the biggest trading hubs on earth concentrating lot of the cryptocurrency trading volume. Earlier this year in April, Japan passed a long discussed law that recognizes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as means of payment that “are not legal currency”, as Japan’s Payment Services Act reads.
Some weeks ago, Japan’s Financial Services Agency has approved 11 companies as operators of cryptocurrency exchanges, Reuters reported. Even though, it does not mean that there are no regulations regarding the cryptocurrency market. Enterprises, financial institutions and exchange platforms must follow a strict anti-money Laundering requirements. In addition to this, they also must have a strict knowledge of the customers they are working with.
The country distinguishes itself from its neighbours, China and South Korea, where Bitcoin exchanges were banned by the government. This situation allows Japan to bring into its country investments in cryptocurrencies that the other countries would not able to attract.


Bitcoin in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, enterprises and financial institutions are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).  But this regulatory arm does not regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges and businesses. As the FCA explained, Bitcoin businesses in the UK are not obliged to register with the FCA to operate freely and under the rule of law. But what it is interesting is that British enterprises related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies regulate themselves in order to follow the FCA regulations, even when it is not required.
In the United Kingdom it is also important to not allow money laundering. But again, as with the FCA, there are no anti-laundering regulations for enterprises and businesses related to the cryptocurrency sphere or Bitcoin. But as British enterprises are closely linked with American enterprises, if they want to work with American customers, they need to follow specific rules that the USA has for its citizens. In some cases, British enterprises do not open their doors to clients from the North American country due to difficulties following their legislation.
In the last months, some big enterprises moved forward to let British citizens to invest in Bitcoins. For example, the largest online trading platform in the UK, Hargreaves Lansdown, that manages £70 billion and has 876.000 clients that have access to these features.
An application named Dust, allows its users to convert the spare change into Bitcoins. An interesting way that could allow lot of customers and people to know the world of cryptocurrencies. When you exchange money for something that you buy and you receive change, Dust app converts it automatically into the cryptocurrency that you want.
No regulations from financial entities, a strong market that was always related to the financial industry and well prepared group of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies enterprises, make the United Kingdom a friendly country towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.


Bitcoin in Denmark

Denmark, as its northern neighbours, is known for being a Bitcoin friendly country. The National Bank of Denmark released a statement in which they explain that Cryptocurrencies are not regulated neither at the European level nor in Denmark. Even when the use of cryptocurrencies is not spread everywhere, they can be used freely, without paying taxes, because for the Danish Central Bank, Bitcoin is not a currency. Besides, the Financial Supervisory Authority recognised that it will not prevent anybody that would like to start or open a cryptocurrency business in the country.
Denmark, as its neighbour Sweden, is trying to become a cash-less country. Because of this situation, people in the country are used to new technologies and e-transactions. In such an environment, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have a good chance to spread and become popular faster than in other countries. Just to mention an example of how Bitcoin could work in this place, one year ago one real estate company – Just-Sold.dk – sold a property entirely in Bitcoins. This transaction shows that Bitcoin is not only intended for peer-to-peer exchange but it also suits perfectly for bigger purposes.


Bitcoin in the Netherlands

Netherland is known for having a Bitcoin Embassy in Amsterdam. They call themselves a Bitcoin Community that want to spread knowledge related to Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. In this place people can sit at the Bitcoin coffee and drink a great quality Dutch coffee, or reserve a table to eat at the Bitcoin Restaurant. At the end of the day, the public can pay with Bitcoins without any problem. In the same place, you can also ask for good quality information about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in case you would like to know more about this fascinating world.
If the Bitcoin Embassy is not enough, then the Bitcoin City, Arnhem, would be worth a visit. Located near the German boundary, it is a city that opened itself to Bitcoin. Lots of shops, businesses and people use Bitcoin on a daily base. In the other countries mentioned before, Bitcoin is free, but not widely spread as it is in Arnhem. The city created a Bitcoin economy, alternative to the current financial system, in which some merchants use bitcoins to buy supplies for their own businesses.  The goal of this city is to spread Bitcoin until it will be part of the daily life of its citizens and visitors.
In the country, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trade is not regulated by financial authorities, informed the prosecution service. This situation can create problems regarding money laundering and criminal activities, rising alarms in the Dutch authorities. Indeed, one year ago, Dutch police working with an international team, arrested 10 people that where involved in money laundering activities. Luxury cars, cash and ingredients to make ecstasy were seized, informed The Guardian.
