Where is the best place to meet youth in Japan? -

Two of my friends and I are going to Japan next year and we would like to meet some people of similair age just for kicks. All I ve been able to come up with is Youth Hostels and the Shibuya District in Tokyo. Also, do they let you tour the high schools in Japan? We wanna see what they re like there.

Try nearby some of the universities like Waseda in Tokyo, Ritsumeikan in Kyoto... Shonan beach in the summer Shimokitazawa in Tokyo Takeshita street in Harajuku

Roppongi, even if it is slowly dying from the influx of the Mori tower business people, is the clubbing district. Shibuya is where a lot of young people hang out, as well as certain bars that are found throughout Tokyo such as Gaspanic and Hubs. Also, you can find (rich) kids in Omotesando, a lot of foreigners in Hiroo, and there are some fun arcades (like Sega Joypolis, in Odaiba--Odaiba is a great bay town with a lot to offer, by the way). No, you cannot tour Japanese high schools. Just like you cannot tour American high schools. How does that make any sense.

In Tokyo, go to Harajuku. That is the happening place for young people.

Do you have Japanese people coming on tours of your high school?! Thought not! The other two are good suggestions plus any place that deals with any other interests for example record shops or arcades. Learn Japanese as well. Have fun and be nice to them.
