Tokyo

My experience with Ginza is kind of indirect. The very first time I was in Japan I stayed at Yaesu Fujya Hotel near Tokyo Sta /Ginza. The hotel lobby information desk girl said that there were 2 clubs that were trendy and frequented by Japanese girls in Ginza. I don't recall the names of the clubs but I did try to look for them for about 2 hours with no success. Probably a good place for nampa as in general the women walking around Ginza are hot.Then in May I met a Japanese guy who said the best club to meet J girls was located in Ginza. He wanted to take me there, no time that trip but I am going to email and see if he still is feeling generous. I will post if I find out anything.I picked up an older lady at Heartland one night who turned out to be a hostess at an exclusive Ginza hostess club. She mentioned that many of the major corporations had memberships here and older men frequented the place. She did say it was very expensive and warned me not to go there.En

Hello! I've been to quite a few hostess clubs throughout Japan. Typically:1) Japanese hostess clubs are used to impress/conduct business. If you are guest of Japanese company, especially trading company, they will likely invite you to this kind of club to 'seal a deal' or woo you further. You don't have to pay if you are invited. If YOU do the inviting, then expect to carry full charges. Usual charges start at 10,000y/hr/person then go up from there.2) Some hostess clubs specialise in more social atmosphere as providing on-site companionship for drinking and karaoke. These are a little different than the general 'hostess bar'. Here is where the bulk of Japanese men spend their time and money. It is usually acceptable for the hostess to consort with the man as it it 'firms' the relationship and keeps him coming to the club where he continues to pay outrageous amounts of money for the companionship. It is an unwritten rule that if he get's to take her shopping and dinner, then he will visit the club. Occassionally there are services rendered beyond companionship (read sex) but it comes at a very heavy cost.3) There are numerous non-japanese clubs that provide a sort of mix of (1) and (2) usually staffed by Filipina or in some cases Chinese women. These are lower cost than the pure Japanese clubs. Usually starting at 5000y/hr/person. After a couple visits to the same clubs expect the staff to call you and invite you back. You might get consort activity with them with the same understanding that you will visit the club on regular basis.4) In ALL cases the women's drinks do not come cheap! Usually between 1500y - 3000y for each drink! And those girls can drink! Also, if you add other activity like karaoke to the service it adds more to the bill. And usually there is a general overall service charge of roughly 20% added to cover things like oshibori (hot towels, snacks, etc). So bare mimimum to get out of a club for 2hours your bill would look something like this: a) Entrance charge 5000y X 2 = 10,000y (includes 2 drinks) b) Ladies drink 2000y X 4 = 8,000y c) Service fee 3500y Total = 21,000Y and you still are a LONG way away from any pussy!5) If you stay in Japan long enough you might get to be buddies with a tout, manager or hawk. In this case you might get free entrance to the smaller clubs and just end up buying ladies drinks. Being a foreigner, but living in Japan, you might get better chance to nampa the girls or negotiate P4P. Especially now that the clubs are suffering compared to the bubble times.The bottom line:1) If you can't speak japanese then don't bother to go to hostess club unless you are invited by your client and it's absolutely necessary. Then if you feel in a very powerful business position tell the person who invited you that you wish company for the evening. They will generally arrange delivery service for you. Though may not be from that club.2) If you have friends that know hostess club staff, then you might have a small chance in some of the 'off ginza' clubs. Especially in the Akasuka or Roppongi area.3) The strip clubs and other clubs you will get touted by in Roppongi are NOT hostess clubs, however have much the same entrance/lady drink system. Your chances may be slightly higher because you can interact with english speaking women who largely dislike the Japanese clients they must serve.4) Given the base cost of any of this, the wise mongerer will do the following: a) Go to Heartland, 911, Motown, etc and enjoy conversing with any of the <free> talent. No luck for nampa? Don't worry - go to step b. b) Stumble back to your hotel and order up a 'delivery health' provider for around 20k. It's less now - especially after midnite, because their business is slacking. Or. c) Hit one of the available Pink Salon which are usually open until midnite. d) Or do the PS first, THEN go clubbing! You won't be soo obviously horndogged and probably have better luck at nampa! e) Find and meet a 'local' Japanese or foreign guy that can show you the best places to hang. Usually this means a previous business associate or someone you meet in a club or bar.5) My personal observation/experience after living in Japan more than 4years: "The best weekend you can have in Tokyo is a week in China" Do your business as required then hop over to Shanghai or Beijing. For a fraction of the cost and much better service you will have the best time of your trip! Do the math: a) RT Ticket to BJ or SH = 50,000 b) 2nites in 5 star hotel = 20,000 c) 8 -10 beauty with you all nite = 10,000/night d) All the food/drink you can manage = 10,000/day Just staying in a hotel in SH is half the cost of hotel in Tokyo!

Sidenote to this: A good friend of mine picked up a 'Ginza girl' went out and had a few drinks. She gave him her number and he called her again. She asked if he wanted to do something and he offered dinner. She accepted and they agreed place and time. She showed up unexpectedly with 2 more girls.As the dinner was ending she excused herself to answer a phone call. She didn't return to 'see' the bill paying - and put him in a very awkward position of having to deal with the bill for her AND her friends. Remember he only invited HER! As he was paying the bill , the friends exited the restaraunt. He followed quickly and cornered all 3 of them. He admonished the girl he invited and demanded her friends pay their part of the bill.He had never met this girl at a club. She was simply 'nampa' in the Ginza area shopping alone.The moral: A hostess is always a hostess and is after only one thing - your money! The return on your investment? Usually nothing.

Agreed ! A hostess remains a hostess and we should always remember they are cash-oriented, even for nampa who are very kind. But anyway to have a Japanese g-friend to whom you buy LV bags, Prada shoes, etc... for good sex and nice chat at the restaurant is some kind of payoff for me. Depends on what you are looking for and your taste.In Ginza club, yes many companies have member cards, and executive expense the clubs, that's why many are generous. As Ginza clubs have good standing with classy and selective hostesses, majors corporations, banks, etc... allors their managers to treat clients there. Each time I visit Japan my buz partners and even my relatives take me to club and they expense everything. That's something I miss here in Europe...

Spent a lot of money on hostesses dating back to the days of 360 Yen/Dollar in the late sixties and early seventies and had a lot fun, although have not done that, except on very rare occasions in my later years. Bottom line, I'm horny, the big decision, do I go out and spend the big bucks (could be upwards of $1000 US) at a hostess bar for what will be probably conversation only, take a girl out for the wine and dine and hope I score, or follow the directions the folks on the forum post and spend my 10-25,000 for a sure thing. The first two can be a lot of fun, but when I need a sure thing, I go for the sure thing. Happy HuntingAsia Nut

I just wanted to add my two cents to this thread. I've been living in and visiting Japan for almost 20 years now and I've been to my share of hostess clubs (never on my invitation) and I marvel at the amount of money that is spent in order to have attractive girls light your cigarettes and pour your drinks, sing karaoke with you and provide flattering conversation. The majority (if not all) of this activity is funded by company expense accounts as far as I can tell. Certainly, during the bubble years this sort of expenditure was rampant but I've noticed post-bubble that many of those building occupant signs in the Ginza and Akasaka are now blank. I'm not sure what's happened to all of the mamasans who used to run these places but it certainly was fine times for them when the yen was flowing freely.I don't really enjoy this activity very much and find it a burden when asked to participate. I don't think it's the language barrier, either. Some of my Japanese friends and colleagues acknowledge that the whole system sucks and is a huge burden for them, too, yet they are obligated to participate. Perhaps it's my western feminism influenced political correctness or something like that. The girls at these places are very classy and most of them fairly attractive so it's not an entirely negative experience.The point is, there are other fun ways to spend an evening, often just at a bar or beer place shooting the shit and getting blitzed.

Guys,Thank you for the very good information about the scene around Ginza.As I am spending only 2 nights in Tokyo and from there I go to Shanghai and after Bangkok, I am probably going to save my Yens and go crazy in China and Thailand.Anyway thanks again.Note: I may try the recommendation of Homer69 (If I find the place!)Denis

In the late 80s when the Nikkei was hitting high 30ks, the money spent on entertainment in Tokyo was higher than the CIA's annual budget of $30B, this was at the height of the Cold War, no less.

After reading about Nishi-Kawaguchi some time ago, I decided to head down there to give it a shot. This was about 2 weeks ago. I think it was a Wednesday (mid afternoon).I walked around the East side of the station for awhile and tried to get into a few Soaps, but was constantly refused entry. One place welcomed me in warmly, and then, once inside they decided that they didn't have any girls available for me. A few touts also tried to have me visit their Este's.. but my preference was for a Soap. After about a 45 minutes wandering around the East side, I headed to the West side and had the same result.. no soaps would accept me. Some of them were nice enough to say to come back later when they have more girls.Eventually I settled on an Este on the West side, about 200m from the station (can't remember name, but will get it later next week when I go back). The tout there was friendly (as usual), but not too pushy, which was the clencher. Now down to business....10k for 1 hour. No choice of girls... I think this tiny place only had 1 girl. I had to wait for about 15 minutes before she was ready... but the wait was well worth it!Out came Kana, 23 years young, gorgeous body, perfect B-Cup breasts... and a gorgeous face to match. She spoke absolutely NO english.. but I wasn't there for good conversation. My Nihongo was good enough so that we could get through the basics.Overall, the session ended up going for about 2 hours (maybe because they weren't very busy). I came 3 times, once was BBBJCIM, the other 2 were covered sex, in every position. We also showered after each session. After the 2nd time, she wanted to do BB FS, but my mind jumped in and stopped that (reluctantly!).This was also her first time ever with a Gaijin, and she was obviously very happy with the experience. She even got out the camera and asked me to take photo's while she was giving me head and also whilst we were fucking.Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be going back there for more. Will get more details on the location when I go back next.

Just cruisin and found the following[url]http://www.the10000yen.com/roppongi/frn/topmenu.html[/url] Good luck to all

Denis, for a quick one and for a cheap 10k yen, I would recommend hinamru, since I believe you speak no Japanese, and at least the service is good. See the forum for directions.Otherwise, and obviously save for Thailand ! for the 10k yen you'll get a girl for a night. Then it comes to personal choice. My number one choice is korean girls (in Korea, not abroad), then japanese with 'korean-faces' then Chinese. Thais and Vietnamese, ... I like less. So visiting these 3 countries, you'll have all the choice, but maybe it is worth to get a shot in each place to compare. I like to have the uncovered BJ in Japan, which I did not get in other asian places, except in Korea.In all cases, enjoy your trip and have fun, safe sex !

Denis,Basing on my experiences in all 3 countries you mention, I would recommend you to save money for Shanghai or BKK.Surely you can source same service quality, but at a much more affordable price.Rene02,I am sorry you did not get BBBJ in other asian countries.They are widely performed in China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, and probably many more countries where I had no opportunity to monger.Actually, this is what I like most in Asia: way girls blow our c**ks, so gentle and delicate !

I had just received word that Umataro in Shibuya has closed. Can anyone confirm this?Guido

Just got back from two night lay over in Tokyo. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel, Tokyo Bay.Weather was bad and it was also Monday and Tuesday night so we took a different approach this time with our hobbying.Set up a date from an escort service specializing in Russian girls.[url]http://www.**********.com/[/url]. They have pictures on their site and the girls that came are the girls on the site.Both of them were better looking than the pictures, Kristina and Dasha.They were on time extremely friendly and eloquent. Kristina was very pretty but looked a little heavier than her picture. Well, when the close came off I had to scratch my head (big) since she wasn't big at all. Every inch of her body was rock hard except her chest.The service was also excellent. Both spoke perfect English and provide bbbj and all positions.The cost was the average price in this city. They did not watch the clock and both stayed well beyond the time limit.The next night I brought in AI, [url]http://tokyo.globelink.com/users/aiescort/[/url] a local independent that I found through another site.27 year old rocket. Slim, firm and really into providing you what you want.Her site tells it all. She was very friendly and comfortable. She tried to make you feel like a boyfriend from the start. She is very interested in knowing exactly what you like and want and then goes there and beyond.Her cost is just a little under the average there but I suspect that will change.Both of these sources are repeats. I really liked the high class appearance of the girls from Allescort and Ai.

Guido,In reference to Utamaro closing I posted this on 10-04: [QUOTE=Stew2]But some sad news ? I don?t think I have seen it posted, but forgive me if this is a repetition. Utamaro will close by or after October 15 (I wasn?t entirely clear whether the last day is the 14th or the 15th). Sono informed me that they decided to shut down by then because business isn?t that good. So if you want to experience Utamaro, now is your last chance! Seiki 21 will remain open, though.[/QUOTE]Indeed, I went to Seiki 21 a few days later, and the elevator won't even take you to the 4th floor anymore. Seiki 21 was open, but busy due to the spillover from Utamaro's closing.Stew2
