Visit Shachihokoya In Japan And Order Slaps!

Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Bangkok Lad (@bangkoklad) shared a video of the famous Shachihokoya restaurant in Nagoya. This is the world-famous place where you can literally buy slaps.

If you are in Japan’s Nagoya, you can give this restaurant a try. Wondering what you need to do to get slapped at Shachihokoya, we have answers to all your questions. Order an item from the menu called ‘Nagoya Lady’s Slap’ paying 300 yen (₹170 approx.) and enjoy the crazy experience.

The Nagoya restaurant hired women to join the staff for slapping customers willing to pay and get slapped. The reason behind women staff is so that men cannot slap women guests.

Many people have contrasting opinions about this tradition of this Japanese restaurant. While many take it as a light-hearted fun experience and rush to Shachihokoya for this, many find it pointless. But behind everyone’s views and responses, there’s a long history to it. The owner opened the place back in the year 2012, according to a report by India.com. The restaurant was not doing well enough to continue but a new aspect changed the business game. While everyone was thinking of closing Shachihokoya, they began slapping the guests. This bizarre yet interesting welcome surprised people and more customers started visiting the place. Ironically, slaps for money saved the restaurant in Nagoya.
