Nothing wrong with this. Operating in one timezone only simplifies things, no need to overcomplicate it.

Obvious potential failure case: Japanese citizens who are travelling abroad.

Many Japanese studying abroad use VPNs in order to circumvent services blocking overseas traffic.
Most businesses do not care, because it's harder to counter bots when allowing overseas traffic. Moreover, the number of Japanese who leave the country are a small fraction. For reference, the percentage of Japanese who hold a passport is 17%. A small fraction of the 17% represent students studying abroad (or other long-term stays).
There's enough internal demand that people travelling abroad (or studying abroad) are considered edge cases worth ignoring. As surreal as this sounds, this is the current situation.
