Legal adult age to change from 20 to 18 in Japan

Currently in Japan legal adult age is 20. Japanese Paraliment has passed the resolution to change legal adult age to 18.

Once become a law voting will be 18, marriage without parental consent will be 18, credit cards without guardian cosign will be 18.

However, drinking alcohlic beverage, smoking and gambling (such as horce racing, Japan does not have casinos) will remain as 20 years old or older.
