A cryptocurrency "NinjaCoin" has been experimentally introduced since October for the "Tebura" service, which is a luggage deposit service provided in such as the area in front of Tokyo Station, Hokkaido, Hyogo, and Kumamoto for foreign and domestic tourists. "NinjaCoin" is a cryptocurrency developed by Hands Free Travel Association, the operation organization of "Tebura," in cooperation with SamePage Ltd. Now the QR code settlement is implemented to improve the convenience.
◆ Free experience campaignFor publicity of the experimental introduction of settlement using NinjaCoin and implementation of QR code settlement, we will conduct a campaign in which you can experience the settlement using a cryptocurrency.

NinjaCoin is developed and promoted mainly by a NPO "Hands Free Travel Association". NinjaCoin is a digital asset issued on a blockchain and a currency for the next generation to which various functions are added using the smart contract technology. NinjaCoin aims to be used as a key currency for "Tebura" that is a distributed tourist service platform in which providers of travel and tourist services can meet up with travelers on the internet to freely provide their services.
This platform enables anyone to provide tourist services to users in a P2P scheme. There is no rule that is stipulated in a centralized manner and members of the community are allowed to freely define the price and conditions of the service. This project creates a fair and democratic travel economy and supports to resolve issues in travel and tourism business and develop the local economy. Furthermore, the project aims to finance NinjaCoin to people in a region who have not been able to travel abroad due to the economic level of the country as well as the existing travelers and businesses. This scheme provides a mechanism in which the people can earn and reimburse NinjaCoin by providing services to travelers via the Tebura platform and further develops the travel economy. At first we will deploy the service in Japan where the inbound demand is increasing towards the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
