Tokyo Hostess Bars are where pretty girls (from different nationalities) led by a Mama-San (mostly Japanese) persuade you into buying very expensive drinks.
Its a men's world. It's part of doing business in Japan. Many businessmen coming for business in Tokyo find themselves in such a bar as part of the Japanese business etiquette.
The hostess's job is to light your cigarette, laugh from your jokes and listen to your stories.
These famous host bars in Tokyo usually include karaoke too.
Tokyo business customs dictate this kind of hospitality, though lately due to the ongoing recession, this Japanese custom has been toned down.
