The first thing that calls to our attention is that Japanese karaokes are not solely a bar or a pub but an establishment with several rooms that are independent one from another, of different sizes and shapes, each one with their own karaoke machine, cushions, and tables.

While those used to Western style karaoke are used to singing along to lyrics on a screen in front of the patrons of bars or karaoke clubs, and waiting a turn while drinking something and the others sing, in Japan the karaoke establishments are really different. This is due to the fact that they seem more like a hotel rather than a bar. However, there are some differences between the western karaoke and the eastern one. 2.At this point, it may seem pointless to explain what “ karaoke” means right? Surely we have all enjoyed a good session of karaoke at one time or another. If you're going to sing for a long period of time the cost performance is recommended. During busy periods some stores have a time limit. Most stores offer it for 1000 yen or 2000 yen. The free time system is a system where the price is set for a certain period of time and you can sing for as long as you want during the free time. Some stores in Japan are offering a free time system. The stores offer a wide variety of drinks for you to choose from. If they tell you to order a drink, let's order a drink. Some stores have the "one drink rule" where you have to order at least one drink. You can either ask for individual drinks or request the nomihodai (all you can drink) service. If we use this as an example, if you use the facility for two hours, it will be 200 x 4=800 yen per person.Īt the counter you can also order drinks. Be sure to check out the details regarding the price in advance.

On the board in the front of the store it was stated that the fee is 200 yen for 30 minutes per person. Most stores have set prices for set lengths of time. Tell the staff the number of the people in your group and how long you want to sing. If there aren't any staff, ring the bell. One of them is the reception and the other is the payment counter. Most karaoke stores have two windows at the counter.
