Hi,
I am going to Japan with 4 friends of mine on an interrailtour through Japan...and this is where my questions start.^^
What would there be to do for 5 18-17year old beer addicts?
Where should we go?
Should I be able to speak more than just the normal beginners Japanese?
Which general attitude do Japanese people have towards foreigners? We will all be German except for MR Polski and me.^^
What should we watch out for?
Are there any laws against smoking in Japan?

Hope you know more about Japan than I do and can help me on, because most of the travel brochures don窶冲 really show me the part of Japan I would like to see.

Prison? It's not allowed to drink under 20 in Japan ;-)

Are there any laws against smoking in Japan?
Again, it's not allowed to smoke under 20 years old.
 
@Rich303 Thanks for the help and no we ,at least I dont, plan on behaving like a total idiots and get smashed everyday.
But I still dont quite get what the attitude towards foreigners is.

@RockLee are the Japanese so strickt ,that there is no chance of still having a tiny beer once in a while?
 
Oh dear, sorry - I wasn't clued up on the 20 year-old age limit.

But, like I said (about being a foreigner), I had no particular problems. Maybe because I was alone people were quite helpful. If you go far from major tourist areas, you may be treated with a little curiosity.
Just be cool and you should be OK. You may occasionally find some things a little confusing, but it's all good.
 
So it will be impossible to get a drink or something like that?
And another thing I'd like to ask are there laws forbidding people under 20 to be in public spaces after lets say 10pm or so?
