“By combining blockchain and NFT technologies, we intend to maximize the global value of local products and services, such as food or tourism experiences,” Ishiba said.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba added that blockchain technology offers a reliable platform for verifying the origin of goods, ensuring that consumers can track the entire production process from raw materials to the final product. Integrating NFTs with Japan’s tourism and leisure industry will create new opportunities to promote local attractions and reward loyal tourists with unique tokens or discounts on future trips, the official explained.
