Japan is a country with a very developed entertainment industry. There are many lively entertainment places in the city, such as playgrounds, bars and nightclubs everywhere. Karaoke, which is popular all over the world, was invented by the Japanese.

However, everyone's favorite ways of leisure and entertainment will vary with gender, age and occupation. Generally speaking, young people are keen on tourism, fitness and sports activities, while old people like golf, mahjong and overseas travel; Men prefer bars, nightclubs and izakaya; Women prefer courses such as beauty, cooking and flower arrangement.

At the same time, with the changes of the times, people's favorite ways of leisure and entertainment are constantly changing. Karaoke, for example, is very popular in Japan, but it is no longer the grand occasion of that year. Now, there is a trend of pursuing "daily leisure and entertainment" in Japan, that is to say, going out for dinner, gathering with friends and massage are becoming more and more popular.
