Japan is very safe (no fear of break-ins), no large banks have defaulted recently [ever?] (no fear of losing your pension/savings), and Japanese people never need to move money outside Japan (bank transfers complete within an hour, and only cost $3).

Not enough Japanese are interested in Bitcoin (yet). Quasi-mainstream awareness in Japan started about a month ago with the Gigazine article. If there's a giant bubble starting now, it could grow into a full-on craze, but otherwise it may take a while. When Japan does enter, it will enter BIG.

Japan has a huge population and Satoshi (might be japanese). I'm surprised there aren't many japanese people here, whereas german russian spanish and chinese sections are pretty big.
