Tokyo

[QUOTE=Lost For Words;1248464]I went to this place yesterday. There was a sign outside. Blue sign with raku written in kanji in orange. And it was easy to find. Up to the 3F and the tencho explained the courses. Apparently with the lowest course (9000/8000 depending on time of day you go) is just HJ, and all the other courses are FS. I chose the 12000/11000 course and indeed FS was included.[/QUOTE]Thanks, one more place to explore. 12000Y for FS is a real bargain.

In the mean time, can you expand a bit? Typeof girls? Nationalities? Service? Any routine? Whatever you feel like telling us.

Will try going anyway and will report.

All this talk about Raku, so I decided to check it out.[url]http://www.es-raku.com[/url]First, a couple of notes. You have to call before you come, because the front door is deadbolt locked at all times. Simply call from Gotanda station, ask them if they are open, and if it is ok to come by, and they will be ready to open the door when you come by. Second, a previous poster put the google coordinates of the shop on this site, and it is exactly there. They have a new sign, but it really is there, on the third floor. Right between the sushi shop and steakhouse, in front of the river.Ring the doorbell, and the tencho will let you in, and lead you down a hall to the waiting room. He will ask you which course you want, collect your money, and even gives you a point card (which is labeled "Raku" and says in Japanese "Foreign Food iizakaya restaurant (ha!)" and ask you to wait for a while. At this point, if you want to specify your choice of girl, you can pay 1000 uen extra and ask for hon-shime, and the available staff will be brought in for you to appraise.I didn't state a preference, and after a few minutes, the tencho came back, and guided me to a room. Just FYI, the 'rooms' are 3 wall wooden cubicals with plastic curtains. None of the walls reach the ceiling, so you can hear everything happening around you.I had Yuyu, who was around 30 years old, but although she could barely speak any Japanese and no English at all, she was pleasant. Not fat, quite average in appearance, and perhaps a stunner 10 years ago. Anyways, after a greeting, she asked me to disrobe, and place everything on hangers and in a basket, and the led me to the shower room, which is quite large.After a sexy soaping, with careful attention to the fun bits, she towled me off, led me back to her room, and asked me to wait while she herself showered. When she returned, she immediately dropped her towel (so much for pretext) so she was buck naked, and asked what I would like. I asked for a massage, and she with a smile "ok, massage and then service time"The massage was my first, and it wasn't bad (or sexy at all) even though she was doing it naked. After 20 minutes, she asked me to flip over, turned off the light, and the fun started. Excellent BBBJ skill (not like a pink salon at all) , and then she reached for a condom, and after a couple of positions, I finished, but as I was doing so, she asked me to continue pounding because she was getting off, too. I ablidged, and could feel her contractions against the shaft. That was hot. Even if she was faking, it was very considerate.Then, some tissues to clean up, and then back to the shower to clean up. Back to the room, dressed, and out the door. Total damage 11, 000 yen for 65 minutes.I'll go again, but maybe ask for hon-shime, since I prefer someone a bit younger. All in all, not bad at all.

The girls at this place are Korean, not Chinese.

Thanks for the detailed report, and for confirming that there is BBBJ. I read in a very old report that it was CBJ.

At this price, I am not expecting a stunner. JUst hoping for a good bargain. Japanese DH gets expensive after a while.

I'll be checking this place out next weekend when I get to Tokyo and I wouldn't have gotten past that locked front door. BTW, does the tencho speak English? My Nihongo is pretty limited but I hope it will be enough.

Raku is not a bad bargain if it's the middle of the day, but if you're in Gotanda at night and you don't mind a Chinese girl, you can get FS for 10000 JPY with girls that are better looking than the girls at Raku. There's a number of Chinese FS places in Gotanda, but the one that consistently has the best quality is here:[url]http://bit.ly/yy2L0h.[/url]This is the Google maps of the place. Outside there will be some Chinese girl asking you if you want a massage and tell you you want to go up to the 5F. Take the elevator up to the 5F and the door will be open for you. Go in and tell them that you want to choose by the real person (hon-nin de kimetai desu) and they should get all the girls ready and take you in the back and show you the girls one by one. You choose the one you like and pay the guy 10000 JPY. The service is the same as everywhere else. Shower, massage if you're interested, and then FS.I've been to a number of these places in Gotanda but keep ending up back at this one because they allow you to choose the girl by looking at the real person, and because the girls are consistently cute and young. The only problem with this place is that it opens at 7pm on the weekdays and 6pm on the weekends. If they're crowded, they might redirect you directly across the street to the 3F. It's the same place, same girls and same owners. Just used when it's crowded.If you go and don't see anybody you're immediately interested in, ask for Aya. She's cute and definitely a lot of fun.

When you called from the station, I assume you had to speak japanese. Are very basic phrases like "watashi wa ikitai desu."sufficient, or do you need highler level of conversation?

Seems very much like Hikari, except for the hon ban and BBJ, a huge difference for the same price

Was allowed into Raku, but after the guy at the desk had chat with the girl, she did not seem interested in gaijin and I was sent packing.How about.[url]www.lr-shinjuku.com[/url]Do you need to be able to speak Japanese? How exactly does the place work.Sorry, but my Japanese is non-existant, and google translate doesn't help much with that site since it is all pictures.They showed a map, but no address, and the map is also in japanese.

The guy working there spoke Japanese with a noticeable Korean accent anyway, so no worries about broken communication skills Something like.Kyou yattemasuka? (are you open today?) if he says yes, then you can say thanks, then, Basho o wakarimasukara ima sugu ikimasu (I know the location, I am headed there right away). He will Have fun

Japanese is absolutely required both conversational and reading; although if someone contradicts me then I'm happy to hear that.I think you're better off with http://www.hipness.jp/ Asia Mystic or others mentioned here or http://erolin.net/?ac=top

Is Tokyo a great time to visit during Easter? Weather, party atmosphere etc.

Except for Ageha, I think all of the places that advertise for foriegners on Erolin are staffed by Chinese girls. Furthermore, the photos on those places are totally fake. If you order from those places, you will get an early to mid twenties Chinese girl for Japanese DH price. That is a ripoff.

Ageha is all Japanese girls, and the order can be done entirely in English, but the women are in their thrities. I had a good experience at Ageha and would recommend them over any of the other places on Erolin. YOu can search for Ageha to reead my report.

Easter is not a holiday in Japan, so if you were expecting some kind of special party, like you would find in a Latin American country, you will be disappointed.

The weather is very good at that time of the year. It will probably be Sakura season, so you will be able to see cherry blossoms while walking aroujnd during the day.

I guess it is about as good a time as any of the year to come.

How do you get there from Gotanda Yamanote station? I guess once you reach the crossing, the picture will help to find the buildong. Also, has the place a name? Writeen in wich script? And a website?
