description box below.
10 - Love Hotels Sooo Love hotels are literally there so people
can have sex and then check out.
While this for sure happens in other countries, Japan has legalized the practice, meaning
hotels offer rooms for as little as 1 hour, although overnight stays are possible.
According to the sun newspaper, because we love a credible source, 1.4 million Japanese
people visit these sex stops every day.
They donít always have to be bedrooms; love hotels offer theme spaces like fake subway
cars, fairground carousels and alpine ski lodges for those who want to indulge in a
little fantasy.
This next law sucks for feministsÖ.womenÖnot menÖwho get divorced, have to wait six months
before getting remarriedÖ.againÖthis law only applies to females.
According to a time out blog, women who give birth to a child in those 6 months must legally
declare the child as the ex-husbands, even if it isnít.
AlsoÖbabies have to be recognized by fathers in the womb.
Back to our things legal only in Japan ñ at number 8 we have the special edition Pokemon
Green Version game for Nintendo Gameboy Certain games are only released on the Japanese
market.
This includes classic games like†Pokemon: Green Version†for Nintendo Gameboy, and
Zela Spin off, Tingleís Balloon Fight for the Nintendo DS.
Even if you physically go to Japan and find these games, they wont work back home because
of your console region setting.
7 - Smoke in Restaurants Japan is one of the last ouposts in the world
where you can smoke and drink, and eat at the very same time.
In the UK, the smoking ban came in in 2007, and most US states have laws in pace to stop
indoor smoking.
Why does Japan not follow suit, well, because the Government has a 33% stake in Japan Tobacco.
Speaking of smoking, in Japan, you can buy Cigarettes from Vending machines...which is
coming in to number 6 Not only can you legally by smokes from Vending
Machines in Japan, they also are not plied with the same taxes most countries levy on
tobacco, soÖtheyíre really cheap.
Often cigarettes in Japan cost less than 4 dollars for a pack of 20.
At number five we have a law that has recently changed in Japan, but I wanted talk about
it on this listÖ it is actually something that was ILLEGAL in JapanÖup until 2015,
you couldnít dance in nightclubs!
So, you can buy alcohol in vending machines, drink in the street, smoke where you want,
check into one hour sex hotelsÖ but you canít dance in a club?
Well the reason the law was brough in in 1948 was to regulate the sex industry ñ and the
law got pretty tight in 2010, too.
However, 6 years later in 2016, the was revised allowing people to dance in clubs again.
While it is now legal, people are still nervous about dancing in clubs.
At number 4 This isnít a legally enforceable law or anything, but it is against all social
laws in most countries ñ In Japan, you can yell at waiters.
I discovered this from a Youtube channel called Texan in Tokyo.
The video in question has over three million views and it is very educational!
So, while in North America, the UK, most of Europe and Australia, we would never dream
of shouting at a waiter, unless you are a true idiot, but in Japan, that is the only
way to get a waiters attentionÖand they donít mind one bit.
Weird.
3 - You Can Drink in the streets and in public spaces
Japan is one of the most lax places in the world when it comes to alcohol regulations.
In the USA and Canada you canít even drink in the park, much less the street.
In the UK its complicated, but you definitely canít drink on inner city public transportÖbut
in JapanÖno worries.
Crack that can wherever you want.
2 - All You Can Drink Happy Hours In Japan, for around 2000 yen, so about 18
dollars, you can attend all you can drink alcoholic happy hours.
This is called nomihoudai†and it laughs in the face of responsible drinking!
2000 is actually upper limit, you can find some all you can drink places for under 1000
yen if youíre lucky, or unluckyÖdepending on how your head will feel the next day!
The reason this works in Japan is because people see it as shameful to be drunkÖ if
this was legal in the UK or the statesÖhooo..woah!
Finally, for fun at number one of the Top 10 Things Only Legal in JapanÖ.we have Wearing
these shoes The fashion police clearly donít exist in
Japan..soÖ.be free.
Free to wear fish for shoes.
No judgement.
Other than the weird vibes about dancing in clubs and the strange tilted marriage lawsÖJapan
sounds greatÖI really want to go!
