The Kanagawa Prefectural Government is considering strengthening its regulations on dating services that hire teenagers, by restricting businesses that dispatch underage staff to customers.
The prefecture prohibits operators of such services from having women under 18 make physical contact with customers in private rooms, but does not restrict dispatch businesses.
By amending the ordinance, the prefecture aims to restrict services provided within facilities outside of private rooms, and the dispatch of workers under 18 for purposes of engaging in physical contact, sexual poses, or accompanying customers on a "walk."
