Pretty Japanese girls are in abundance in the red light capital of Hokkaido. In normally conservative Japan, things can get a little, or a lot, more liberal after hours. In true Japanese fashion, customer service is a top priority and there is something for everyone. Regardless of theme, there are many different types with many different rules.
A lot of these places have karaoke as well. Snack Bars are more for the older crowd though. You pay for it as well. But no touching. Similar to a western strip club. Not common in Sapporo. The above list falls into the Hostess category. You have Soapland and Health type businesses. While not old , you might find the girls older than at a Health establishment. Keep in mind though, with age comes experience. Some discretion is left up to the women though.
There are plenty of magazines at the convenience stores advertising these services, however, the pretty Japanese girls faces are usually obscured. Not really falling into the above categories but worth a mention are Gokon Bars and Happening Bars.
At these places the men pay and the women get everything for free. There is no guarantee of anything. Usually two friends, a guy and girl, will invite a group of their friends for dinner and drinks. The number of men and women should be equal. All you pay for is your drinks. Good luck. Keep in mind, these businesses get a ton of return customers and regular clients because the hostesses and pretty Japanese girls can keep you very entertained with just conversation.
Dating - Finally, there is the dating option. It's hard finding dates in Japan with genuine Japanese people especially if you are just visiting for a short time, but also because Japan does not have a culture of meeting strangers in bars and clubs like there is in the West. But, there are companies that cater for people looking for dates with Japanese men and women living in or visiting Japan.
