I'm not at all sure that's a good thing. Sure, it makes borrowing ridiculously cheap because domestic investors accept absurdly low JGB yields; but that's more part of the problem than part of the solution.
In fact, most government borrowing being domestic is one factor which is going to aggravate Japan's macro apocalypse when it does come (does anyone think 'if', not 'when'?)
