Yokohama

Damn Rodman!
I needed to get there last night! :-) I gave my girl
the green light tonite so I can hit it 1 last time....hmmm, maybe I can get there after I drop her off at 12:30....oh nevermind. I'll have to check this place out on the next trip. I don't think I can get a train back to Fujisawa after 1am anyways. I don't know about you, R, but I don't have enough game to meet a honey and get back to her place in the same night. Just as well, I'm probably to old for a Hip Hop club anyways.

After a little research, I think I've found the best deal in Koganeicho. When you get to Koganeicho station, exit and make a sharp left. Go to the first intersection, turn right and start walking towards Yokohama station. You should be walking along the main road outside the zone. Keep walking until you see the 7-11 on your left (it takes a few minutes) then turn right at that intersection. Turn left on the second alley and you should see a few bars. The girls are Chinese. From my experience, if you're a nice guy, they'll ignore the clock and before you know it, 20 minutes will become 60. I don't think this generosity exists at rush hour so try to get there early. Happy hunting!

Hi,
Thought I would see if we can get this section moving again. I went to Koganecho/ Akebonocho area couple of times since WSG was down. I am not sure about Karakuchi's directions but if you go out of Koganecho station turn left, walk to the corner with the convenience store on the corner turn right and cross the street you are already in the zone. You will see a narrow alley lightly to your left and further on the elevated tracks for the Keihin Kyuko line. I prefer to go further on past the tracks and turn down that alley. Walk about three blocks and you will be in front of a "shopping mall like complex with little "bars" with mainly Mainland Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai Columbians and even a couple of Russians working. The shop on the right corner of the mall has three Shanghai girls who have great personalities and pretty good bodies if like me you like small slim girls.

If you go three more blocks you will be in the older working girl area. I was passing through the area and got a deal from a Chinese/Thai girl in her late twenties, it was a very slow night so she offered a special deal, 8K for a twenty minute session. I told her I thought it was a great deal but only had 6K and started to walk away but she said alright to the 6K. I pays to go there on slow days. I think it was a Sunday just before the end of the month.

The other thing I found was if you cross the river and walk down to the large road that goes to Hinodecho, you will be accosted by Korean Chinese girls who work in the massage palors in the area. Might want to try them out. Let us know how it works out. I have not had the time to check out that area as yet. Though some of them looked quite good.

Happy Hunting.

In this post I see a lot of information on the Koganecho area, however, is there anything beyond that? For example: Pink Salons, Soaplands, etc...

I have just moved to Yokohama and look forward to sharing more info on this area.

There's a whole bunch of fashion healths and image clubs in Kannai. Take the JR train to Kannai station, and from there head to Isezakicho street mall. Walk all the way down the mall to the next lighted intersection and cross. Going forward, the area between where you are to the next lighted intersection on your left will be rife with them. Usually a whole bunch will be squeezed into one building. Here's a link to a company that has several in Kannai: http://www.fuzoku-net.com/index-side.html.

I've only visited a couple times, but for what it's worth here's my suggestions: if you don't already speak Japanese, learn enough to be able to chat with the guy at the counter; try going during the daytime when it's less busy (although I've Saturday it's always busy all day ^_^); be prepared to go into a lot of them and get turned down before finding one that'll let you in; and if you do get in please be on your best behavior because you're representing every foreigner after you that wants to get in. One guy that worked the counter at one of the places (sorry, forgot the name) was willing to let me in during the day but not in the evening because that's when his boss was around. Good luck, and keep us posted.

How clean are these girls working in the red light district in Yokohama? Specifically, I am talking about the foreign SW (Thais, Columbians, etc). Is there widespread STDs/HIV with these girls? Do they get regularly checked and are condoms required?

I'm Japanease living in Yokohama. I go to Kannai area every
a couple of month.

Same as kogal_lover said below, I've heard from a girl who
work at fashion helth that it's OK if the foreigner who has
enough to communicate with clerk and girls. But unfortunately
I don't know the shops which accept the foreigners who can't
speak Japanese in Yokohama.

The site below have a lot of informations around Yokohama.
(But written in Japanese. Can you read Japanese?)

(I won't be able to check e-mail for 29th Sep through 5th Oct
because of business trip to abroad.)

Mr. Holliday, I don't know whether the girls get check up or not but then not using a condom is insane. Yes, condoms are required by all of the places in Koganecho.

Hi, J-boy, back in Tokyo now get in touch.

What time do the pink booths in Koganecho/Hinodecho open? I have been there twice, once on a Monday and once on a Tuesday around 7 - 8PM. All the shops were closed. TIA.... Dr. Holliday

Don't think there is any official opening time for the places I've seen them opening up at around 10 pm and some at 11. The girls seem to be independent and get to their shop when they think customers will be around.

Try cruising around Akebonobashi near Kannai until later if you have no luck in Koganecho.

J-Boy/kogal_lover,

Thanks for the information. I am actually a Japanese guy who was raised in the States. I have been living in Japan now for a couple of years (Tokyo and Tohoku).

As I said before, I just moved to Yokohama and noticed that this board wasn't really moving so I thought I'd try to be somewhat of a catalyst.

Look forward to sharing more information.

Good luck...

Hi Sailing, Sorry if my directions were a little confusing. I think there is only one exit at Koganei station. When you give up your ticket at the ticket taker machines, you've got to walk down a few little steps to the street. Directly in front of you there should be a small kiosk used for selling lottery tickets. If you turn left at that spot and walk to the first intersection, there should be a building on your left with blue neon shaped like waves. At the first intersection, hang a right and walk straight along that busy road. That road is a bus route and there are no mini-bars so I don't consider it to be The Zone. Walk way the hell down that road towards Tobe and Yokohama station and you'll get to a 7-11. Sharp right there, walk in 10 steps and you're into The Zone. Anyways, if my directions suck, sorry.

Got a question for one and all. I was in Koganei a few weeks ago at about 7 or 8 and everything was closed. There were patrol cars all over the place and cops or immigration guys _marching_ (no, really!) up and down the streets. Big crackdown.

Anyone been there recently? Have things returned to normal?

Hey Karakuchi,
I will be in the Yokohama area tomorrow, will check it out. This place as been in business for decades so I wonder what is going on. It used to be mainly old ladies who could no longer make it in the pink salons in Yokohama, perhaps an old ladies retirement home area? It has been a fairly recent development with the Thai, Chinese, Colombian, Russian and a few Japanese girls working there.

I usually turn right and walk to the corner, cross the street turn left and go down the first alley. There are girls working out of the little stall-like bars in that alley. After cruising down to the end of the alley you get to the road running parallel to the river, turn left at the first street and turn either left or right at the first street after going under the train tracks.

If you are in the Yokohama area often try going to Akebonobashi for the pink salons and fashion health places. There are a few Chinese quickie places there too.

Karakuchi

I checked one of Koganecho-board after reading your message.
They said most shops in Koganecho close at 6PM, and re-open 10PM
recently. I don't know why. Be careful, Sailing.
They, also, said many ticks were arrested by Police and Immigration
Officer, because they want to get these shops away. (For preventing
HIV?)
I'm afraid the shops in Koganecho will be disappeared someday.

J-boy, Thanks for the info! I hope they don't close the shops of Koganeicho. Like I've told you before, I don't like Akebonobashi.

Sailing, I don't like Akebonobashi because there are too many bait and switch scams. The girl who gets you into the place isn't the girl who provides the service. Needless to say, the quality of looks between the two is vast.

At Koganei you get what you pay for.
