What is a Hostess Club?
Drinking Culture in Japan
Many areas in Japan, like Kabukicho and Kitashinchi, are packed with nightlife districts like the old-school yokocho. It is at these spots where people get together with friends and colleagues to enjoy drinks for nomikai, which translates to "drinking session."
Men, in particular, visit nightlife establishments, mainly hostess clubs, where the services provided are inspired by Japan’s unique hospitality culture known as omotenashi. Customers at these clubs enjoy conversations and drinks with the hostesses and even visit in business settings. With their wide selection of both alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, ranging from beer, whiskey, and champagne to juice and soda, hostess clubs also cater to those who cannot drink.
