Indeed this is true that Japan is an early adopter of QR codes and quite successful too. I might also add it was crammed down their throats. It was not easy at first. I remember sitting in a fair amount of restaurants gazing at the QR asking everyone what it was. The Japanese were very clever. They put the QR codes on the trains, in the restaurants, in waiting rooms at the doctor, everywhere they could think of. They put the QR codes on everything that would give you something to do while waiting. Remember that in Japan with a long train commute, National Health system that requires you to wait for example it was pure genius giving people something to do with their phones. Soon everyone while waiting for their meal was testing the QR code at the table. Even McDonalds Japan has the QR code plastered on their hamburger wrappers in some places. In Japan the QR code is here to stay. It's interesting. A note about QR codes. Indeed this is true that Japan is an early adopter of QR codes and quite successful too.
