In Fukuoka, Japan, a McDonald's located in the Wajiro district has implemented a ban on student-only entries and has publicly listed the names of two nearby public middle schools. This decision was made due to persistent disruptive behavior from students that has not improved over time. The local education board confirmed that the McDonald’s restaurant had reached out to schools numerous times regarding the disturbances in the store, including incidents of students causing noise and disruption since its reopening in summer 2024.

Following complaints from the restaurant, the affected schools took actions such as raising awareness during school assemblies and providing guidance to identified students and their parents. Despite these attempts, disruptive behavior continued, leading the McDonald's outlet to adopt this stricter policy as a last resort to maintain a peaceful atmosphere for other customers. Previously, the store had placed a ban on students of specific schools, which the local education authority acknowledged in their communications about shop behavior following long-term complaints.

As of the latest reports, signs prohibiting student-only entries were not visible anymore, though the establishment continues to display notices to discourage any behavior that may disturb other customers or compromise safety and comfort. This situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by establishments catering to a younger demographic, as well as the need for collaboration between businesses and schools to address student behavior effectively.
