Hello. everyone.
I'm sorry that there was a little time between updates.
This time as well, the theme will be "age restrictions in Japan".
Please compare how it differs from your country.
The age of being an "adult" in Japan will change.
Until March 31, 2022, he is 20 years old and is an adult, but after April 2022, this age will change to "18 years old". As a result, at the age of 18, you will be able to use real estate contracts, mobile phone contracts, and credit cards without the consent of your parents.
How old can you get married in Japan?
In Japan, if you get married by March 31, 2022, you can get married if you are 18 years old or older for men and 16 years old or older for females. However, after April 1, 2022, the law will change and you must be at least 18 years old regardless of gender. Men are the same as before, but women are two years older than ever before. The reason is the above-mentioned "reduction of the age of majority". It seems that this was the opportunity to unify the marriage ages of men and women. Another reason is that the high school enrollment rate is much higher than in the days when the previous marriage law was struck, and the current junior high school enrollment rate is 98% regardless of gender. That's right.
In Japan, you must be over 20 years old to drink alcohol or smoke. There are also penalties for both the buyer and the seller if they sell to someone under the age of 20. This also applies to travelers. In addition, regarding alcohol, there are uniform rules regardless of the type of beer or wine. Please be aware that even if it is OK in your country, it will be illegal in Japan.
Are games and movies age-limited?
I have. There are games and movies under the age of 18 that cannot be purchased or watched for reasons such as "excessively violent expressions", "grotesque depictions", and "sexual expressions". In some cases, you may be under the age of 15, but in most cases, you are 18 years old. By the way, books with excessive violence and sexual content are designated as "books that are harmful to the development of young people" and cannot be bought by people under the age of 18. If you want to read a sexy book, be patient until you're 18!
How old can I drive a car?
To obtain a car license in Japan, you must be at least 18 years old. In addition, there is no regional difference in age, and it is uniform within Japan. In Japan, it is common to go to a driving school and take a license test. However, the price of driving school is high! The price is about $ 2000-3000. However, if you don't go to a driving school, it's hard to come up with a license exam, so everyone goes to get a license.
Is there an age limit for politics?
There is also this. The "right to vote" to vote in elections lies with Japanese nationals over the age of 18. If you are not a Japanese national or are under the age of 18, you do not have the right to vote in elections. In addition, the age at which a politician can run is also set, which states that "the House of Representatives must be at least 25 years old, and the House of Councilors must be at least 30 years old." The age at which you can run will change depending on which member you want to be.
That's all for this article.
How much difference was there between your country and Japan?
