Drinking in Japan -
06-14-2007, 05:52 PM
I've checked on the internet, and it says that the drinking age in Japan is 20. When I and my friends go there this July, we will all be 18 (actually, I will be turning 18 whilst there) - will there be any trouble in getting into bars or clubs, or do they actually care. Is getting a 'novelty ID' for £10 worthwhile?

The legal age of drinking and smoking is 20, but as was pointed out there are vending machines selling alcohol etc. lots of underage people drink and smoke in Japan. Clubs may be a problem, but it depends on how old you look.

Thanks for the advice - beer in vending machines! Makes you realise how special Japan is, as that would be a disaster in the UK.
Also (this is related to vending machines), my economics teacher said that his friend, who lived in Japan, saw these vending machines in seedy parts of Tokyo where you could buy underwear worn by young girls! Is this true? (- I am not asking because I want to buy any, but because I am disgusted and amazed)

they no longer have beer vending machines, but you can buy beer at any corner store.
They dont card for most clubs, but for the nicer high end clubs, you'll have to be 20. And even some clubs require guys to be 23 and the girls they dont even card =P My girls 18 and she walked right past a bouncer and the guy wanted me to be 23 to get into Feria one night, i was like i know so many underaged people in there right now... let me in and i wont start any trouble im fricken almost 22. heres a personal Ty to all who voted and participated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ER8CsVuTNY http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=housetek please check out the videos and subscribe!   feel free to pm/aim/msn me for any Q's on Japan

I know the rumour about the panties, it's kinda an urban myth. You can however buy used panties at certain seedy places like in Kabuki-cho and you can buy porn from vending machines that are usually located on dark country roads.
