Digital Minister Kono Tarō catalogued roughly 1,900 government procedures still legally requiring fax across 47 prefectures.

When did you last use a fax machine?
Also in Germany and some other Country in Europe used still in 2026. E-Mail does not count as real on court, that's the reason also in Japan!!!
So did you also recognize FAX has got digital also since years? I don't think you know about the Digital FAX…..
Also FAX is used in Germany and other European Country! Why? Because Email is not counting as counting as signed!
So also FAX got digital not only analog since years here in Europe…
