How Tight Are the Japanese on age restrictions?
 

Hello everyone,lemme get straight to the point,was wondering how strict are the japanese in tokyo about restrictions regarding ages concerning pubs & night clubs?

Thanks in advance=)

They didn't check ID when I was there, they will make a rough guess of your age.

Though they definitely won't let you in if you are porven to be underage.

Hey thanks for the reply really appreciate it,btw can i ask whether u were legal to enter than or not?and did u just hit one place only while u were there?

How old are you? Are you a guy or girl?

I am legal.. you know, we all discourage illegal activities, so my recommendation is "DON'T"

yesyes i know.i just want to know the "What if" situation =P.i am 'koff' 21years of age.Since u guys dont promote illegal activites(which is most certainly a good thing)i am legal,just need to know for a friend of mine:)

What is the legal age there?

20 for drinking.

Don't be a jackass.

The legal age is 20.

If you are 19 I wouldn't expect many problems.

If you are 16 I would suspect you'll have a hard time getting into clubs, depending on your looks.

I was carded (as a male) at some dance clubs in Tokyo and Osaka, but didn't have an issue at most bars.

ossan just trying to be legal,anyways thanks for the tip i appreciate it
