Visiting as a foreigner
- Some venues decline guests who do not speak Japanese, or welcome them only with a Japanese-speaking companion. This is each venue's own policy and it can change, so check before you go.
- How much English the staff speak varies from night to night at every venue. If it matters to you, ask in advance.
- The published price list applies to everyone. If someone offers you a "special price for foreigners", treat it as a warning sign.
- You must be 20 or over to drink in Japan. Carry ID, as a venue may ask for it.
How to choose a venue
- Know what each line of the bill means: how the bill works
- Compare with Tokyo: Tokyo hostess club prices
- Never follow a street tout: what bottakuri means
- Hosting clients? Ginza or Kitashinchi?
- New to the format? what a kyabakura is
- Visiting from abroad: foreigner-friendly and English-speaking hostess clubs
- Something more casual: what a girls' bar is
