Nursing Care Nightlife: A Japanese Snack Bar Catering to Elderly Patrons

Yokosuka’s Ryūgūjō is a bright spot of business in an otherwise quiet shopping arcade.

Ryūgūjō’s garishly colored booth would fit in at most any other snack bar.

Bottles of whiskey, shōchū, and other liquors line the bar.

Ryūgūjō’s restroom is wheelchair accessible and has a foldable bed for changing adult diapers.
