Japan Hostess
These photos were taken when we visited Hokkaido a while back - was surprised to see that Sapporo had so many ^^; In Tokyo, hostess bars/clubs are usually found in the night districts such as Shinjuku and Ginza.
Many business men spend their time at these clubs and would often get attached to a particular hostess. Many hostesses are required to meet some of the clients outside of the club to go on a date which builds the relationship between the club and the customer. While some of the dates end up with hanky panky, much of it ends up with the customer buying a load of expensive clothes, jewelery and in some cases cars and apartments for the hostess.
Folks do not generally go to a kyabakura for hanky panky - just to sit with a girl who will listen, talk and casually get you to stay on and drink as much as possible ^^;
There are also Hosuto [ホスト] or "Host" bars for women too where strapping handsome lads will do exactly the same for women. The drama Yaoh [夜王] was a great drama which depicted the lives of hosts in Shinjuku.
