HomerGood advice, as always. The trouble is they won't learn. But I think having a gaijin face is still the biggest obstacle. I am dealing with a problem at the moment at Nishi Kawaguchi, where for...

Fully agree with Homer's comments. This sort of shop usually doesn't take gaijin, and she was probably a bit scared and all she could think to do was make you come quickly and get it over with.One...

Kimonos are what older women wear, and the outfit commands respect. It an outfit for someone's mother or grandmother

Find the plaza with the old steam loco in it. With the station behind you walk between the front of the steam loco, and the white lattice building, up the street (with the station behind you). It's...

The answer to this is "no". End of story. But you can get FS at the booths in Kawasaki.

Any pharmacy, especially the ones at Narita airport. Just say "CON-DOM". An advantage if you buy from your local pharmacy is that the cute shop assistant might start up a conversation with you. ...

I'm afraid I don't believe any of this. I have had "Japanese" girls in countries other than Japan, but without exception they were fairer skinned Chinese or Thai. Why on earth would a femaile from...

As the Chuo Line is a main long distance line, JR and its predecessor JNR deliberately avoided using the terms "Kyuko" and "Tokkyu" for surburban Chuo line trains. They came up with "Kaisoku" and...

Catch a Chuo-sen tokubetsu kaisoku to Kichijoji (about 10-15 mins). Tokyo end of the station, both sides of the tracks various BJ places and a soapland or two. I haven't mongered there for many...

They were telling the truth. Heisei Gakuen asks its girls if they want to "do gaijin". Most say no, but there are a few who will. I haven't been recently, but in the waiting room they used to have...

Nampa Guy,What you described is exactly what some guys do. I for one take ISG seriously. Lube

I strongly endorse Irv's comments. I have had the experience of posting details of a friendly shop in ISG, going back a couple of weeks later and being declined on grounds that a badly behaving...

- trying to ignore the meltdown here -Inakajin:Went again yesterday, 25 year old from Harbin via Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Pretty good English. In Japan about a month, sleeps on the premises but will...

HomerThank you for that report and other recent postings of yours, informative and wise as usual.Since my Korean regular went back home last summer to get married, I have been frequenting with great...

Stickman,We're talking about heading from the ANA hotel in the Akasaka direction. Take a few minutes to explore that block in your lunch hour and you'll find it. You could even go via the wider...

Stickman,My favorite in that area is Hotel Chanty, address Akasaka 2-16-15. Basically cross over the major road from the front of the ANA Hotel, choose little lanes heading in a straight ahead-to...

And make sure you cancel the card. Otherwise a number of Y99,000 computer purchases at Akihabara will start to appear. It's happened to me...

BigpolackHere is an extract from an old post of mine:Kawasaki between Yokohama and Tokyo is worth a visit. Go out the train station into the underground complex on the bay (east) side. Go the street...

Asian PAbsolutely! Go in the entrance and look for a display panel in which pictures of a few of the rooms are lit up and prices are listed for 3 hours and for overnight. All the hotels have this...

Sadly, Kogane-cho (in Yokohama) is now dead and buried and there is now a project underway to transform the area into something completely unrelated.

Road LoverI have a hard time finding any FS P4P in the Tokyo metropolitan area so I'm rather interested and envious at your success. Was this P4P or nanpa? Where? What about the interactions made...

Based on the advice on this board, today tried the J-Building at Sugamo (North Exit). The building takes a little finding: it is hidden in a nook just in from the main road but very close to the...

Visited NK today for the first time in a long while. Straight to my usual shop Concorde to be greeted by a new manager who says "no gaijin". What a bummer. I know the Chinese girls inside are...

Road loverIf you go back to the original post, this guy is stuck in a hotel in Narita. I know it's a long shot but the cabin crew will also check into one of the Narita hotels. If you can exchange...
