mushrat Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 One of my customers was wondering if there were any Hookah Bars in Japan? I think he's headed that way at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfaltous Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've been to Japan about a dozen times and never seen one... but I'm sure somebody must have picked up on it and opened one up somewhere there by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I actually talked about it w/ my girl the other day. She said it wouldn't be popular because... it takes too much time!Then again I, for one, would see the appeal of being served shisha by a japanese girl dressed in a french maid outfit.

jerico2k Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yes there are some hookah bars here. I live in Okinawa, and there is a persian resteraunt/hookah bar in Chatan, the one time I've been able to go it was packed with foriegners. I have also seen one in Kobe.
