Decided against the idea for the time being. Might revisit things later but I think there were too many negatives/unknowns in the equation to make a safe decision.

Black Thursday was a disaster, plain and simple.
We lost too many good people, too many planes.
We can't let that kind of tragedy happen again.

In Japan you do not need a specific liquor license but just to get approved as a place of entertainment that sells alcohol and if you want to do food then you have to have someone who has taken a food safety course to be registered as the person in charge of food safety and displayed in the establishment. If you are doing new construction then the fire department has to sign off on the place being up to code and the fire-specific things like lighting and smoke detectors have to be installed by an approved technician.


What exactly the type of paperwork and what municipal department would you have to file with if you were to go on with your plan? Asking because it sounds like less of a headache trying to open a place in Japan than in America.

If you are going to serve food then you need to have someone take a food safety class and have them listed as the person responsible for food safety. I think you need the fire department to come in and check that things are up to code in order to be operational. After that I think it is telling the police you are running a business there and then contacting the tax department to let them know as well. http://www.japanitup.com/lesson2-business-legal-requirements/

These things aren't really that difficult though. The only bureaucracies in Japan that can be annoying are immigration and drivers license people.
