📜 Step-by-Step Procedure

• Entry & Seating

  • Upon entering, you're greeted by a manager who explains pricing and available hostesses.

  • After paying the set fee or agreeing to billing terms, you’ll be seated comfortably.

• Meeting the Hostess

  • Initially, several hostesses might rotate every 10–15 minutes ("rotation system"), allowing you to choose your favorite later.

  • After meeting multiple hostesses, you select your preferred hostess to remain with you for the rest of your visit.

• During the Visit

  • Hostess engages in casual conversation, pours drinks, and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

  • It’s customary to buy her occasional drinks; this enhances your experience and her attentiveness.

  • Keep conversation friendly and respectful; flirtation is fine, but avoid explicit topics or touching.

• Wrapping Up

  • When your prepaid time is nearly finished, the hostess or manager will politely inform you, offering an extension at the standard rate if desired.

  • Upon leaving, pay any additional charges (ladies' drinks, taxes, or service fees).

  • The hostess and manager typically thank you warmly at the exit, often escorting you politely to the door.

🚨 Important Notes

• Etiquette:

  • Always remain polite, respectful, and aware of hostess boundaries—sexual propositions or inappropriate touching are strictly forbidden.

• Extra Costs:

  • Be mindful: ladies' drinks and extended stays quickly increase your final bill. Ask clearly about all fees upfront to avoid surprises.

• Legal Status:

  • Hostess clubs are completely legal and widely accepted in Japanese culture.
