💡 Top 3 Tips for a Smooth Night
- Keep Your Original Passport Handy (パスポート原本): By law, shops must verify you are 18+. They will not accept a photo on your phone.
- Cash (JPY) is Mandatory (現金のみ): Most professional shops do not accept international credit cards. Visit an ATM (7-Eleven or Lawson) before you arrive.
- No Photos (Satsuei Kinshi / 撮影禁止): Never take out your phone inside the room. Even if you aren’t taking a photo, it makes the cast nervous and may lead to a permanent ban.
