There are more and more career women nowadays and also many women who will continue their career in full time after marriage. Women do go to 飲み会 or 接待 too. I even did when I was working in Tokyo. 飲み会 is very fun if you like the people you go with ;-) But it is still common that women quit their jobs when they get married. I guess a lot of Japanese women like to take a support role in their marriage. Hi Kelly,

Very few people will go out for drinks with their colleagues after work and people rarely work for a company for more than a few years, let alone their entire working lives. Do Japanese women have a similar business culture to their male counterparts? I've heard that many married women, especially those with children, tend to work part-time or give up work entirely but I don't know much about what unmarried or career women are expected to do. Do women join men in their 飲み会 or do the women go off and do their own thing? Japanese business culture is so very different to European business culture.
