===Japan=== Japan has a strong internet café culture, with most serving a dual purpose as joint Internet-[[manga cafe]]s. Most chains (like Media Cafe Popeye and Jiyū Kūkan) offer customers a variety of seating options, including normal chair, massage chair, couch, and flat mat. Customers are then typically given unlimited access to soft drinks, [[manga]], magazines, Internet, online video games, and [[online pornography]]. Most offer food and shower services for an additional fee. In fact, many purchase "night packs" and shower/sleep in the cafes, giving rise to a phenomenon known as "[[net cafe refugee]]s" or "net cafe homeless".<ref>{{cite news |title=Japan homeless living in Internet cafes|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7953609.stm |website=news.bbc.co.uk|publisher=BBC|date=21 March 2009|access-date=16 August 2013}}</ref>
