Original Note:
No Prefectures in Japan set the age of consent at 13. This law updates an outdated national law bringing it more in line with other countries standards. Additionally Japan does not have close in age exemptions making the statutory offenses more strict than many other nations. https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/japan
