Hi,
I am posting today to get some insight regarding the night club regulations that exist in Japan.
--
In Japan, if a venue wants to serve food/drinks, play music, and allow the customers to dance all at the same time, it must obtain an "adult entertainment permit".
The permit restricts the operation of a venue in several ways. One such restriction is that the venue may not be open between 0 a.m. and sunrise.
This makes it impossible for big obviously-intended-to-be-a-nightclub venues to legally stay open after midnight, and for smaller bars and cafes (usually running without the permit) to stay legal, the manager would have to go around telling the customers to stop dancing - if they start moving their bodies to the music.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this is a good idea? On the contrary?
Do you have similar regulations in your country? What are those like? Where is this?
Any feedback will be much appreciated! Thank you.
