Tokyo

Homer69,I've been to the New Sanno many times. I've taken Japanese there and they loved it. One young lady exclaimed, "It's like being in the United States!" (which I guess was a "good" thing for her because she decided to seduce me). It's a quick way to win points with the opposite sex, and no place I've found in Tokyo can beat their room rates (even the love hotels). On the down side, I've never seen any obvious "working girls" there and I can't imagine how they could enter unless they held U.S. military or U.S. embassy I.D. cards or came as guests of card holders. (Note that military I.D. card holders include widows of U.S. military personnel, which might account for the women you saw.) These days, everyone gets "carded" and security is fairly high, as it has to be. It's run as a military facility by a Navy supply corps captain who takes his responsibilities seriously. The grounds are fenced and the entrances are manned. There are video cameras everywhere (except in the rooms), in the lobby areas, parking garage, passageways, etc. It has become a popular spot for U.S. military families in Japan and the management would not sanction obvious prostitution, if only to keep the families happy and protect their reputation as a premier military hotel.

Woody4asians,Thanks for the info re: the New Sanno. I have a reserve ID (inactive reserve, meaning I don't have to do any annual reporting and I would only be called up if Congress declared war); would that be enough to get in? It has been good enough in the past to get onto some bases in Japan and do shopping (legal, mind you), though I haven't tried lately.I haven't actually seen the New Sanno, but I know more or less where it is and was in the neighborhood once, at a Cafe de Crie or something. Were lots of obviously military folks around there, lots with family as you said. Reading the posts here has me thinking I should stop by to get a taste of home and maybe see if there are any relative bargains in the shop. The bar sounds fun, too. As for staying the night, is there a mongen, or can people come back to their room at any hour of the night from parts nearby? Thanks for any info, much appreciated.

Woody,Thanks for the info on the New Sanno. It really is like being in the US, down to the currency they take there. The rooms are very reasonable and tough to get reservations for. My friend is a retired seargent, I think, and he gets a pretty good rate on the room.Good point about widows of US military personnel. That probably explains what I saw. These were older women with slinky, low-cut, colorful outfits with short hemlines and looked to be hoping for some sort of companionship. You must know the small bar layout there so you know it's tough to miss two "brightly dressed" women sitting at the bar, alone or in pairs.The first time I went there was about 15 years ago towards the end of the bubble and the security was pretty tight back then, too. I've probably been there 3-4 times in the past two years and maybe I'm just using selective recognition or something. Anyway, I made a score there for catching the garter so it has a special place in my heart.Have you ever been in the store upstairs? There's real porn magazines up there without the pubic hair scratched off or pixelated, right in the middle of Tokyo. That store only takes dollars if I remember correctly. I bought a copy of "Lips" magazine for a Japanese friend of mine who lived in the US for three years and always liked that magazine.

Paradise Massage Review:Can someone who reads Japanese check out the following website reviews on the Paradise Massage in Nippori and summarize the reviews:http://hamanasu.sakura.ne.jp/~esthe/jyoho/nippori.htmlI put it through some translation software but something is getting lost in the translation and see if it's consistent with what is posted here?

Hi there,1) Shibuya Sex Tower is located on the same street as C-21, 7min walk from Hachiko exit of Shibuya. Just aim to the right of Starbucks. You know you are on the right street if you see an HMV record store on the right. Conitnue past the McDonalds (on the left) Almost to the end of the street on the right side - you may see a 'Bar Sky' sign on the street - that club is in the basement of the Sex Tower. Next to sex tower is a hip hop clothing store. There's always touts out from around 11am. 2nd floor - leftside is men's esute and rightside is pink salon 5th floor is chinese esute 6th floor is out of business sadly, but will probably replace soonNote: due to crackdown's in the area for visa violations, drug dealings, fighting, etc, the police have mounted cameras on all the intersections. You can feel safe while mongering now.2) While New Sanno might be fun to visit for the novelty of 'little america', most Japanese find it basically imperialistic and degrading. I don't care one or the other - just from the standpoint of conversation with Japanese (I work very near there and have been to the bar quite a few times). I'd say you will have better luck to visit Heartland in Roppongi Hills - which is only 10min cab away. Not many people find themselves in the Hiroo-Minato ku area by choice unless they have some business with the nearby embassies. The bar on the corner of Hiroo Plaza used to be quite a place for freebie pickups AND semi-pros. It's changed now and quite dull. If you are really jonezing for 'americana' then New Sanno might feel ok - but I wouldn't count on as much action as you would get at Heartland or Motown. Just my 2yen.

Homer,Here's your translation. Note, reports are old (Feb 2002, Jan 2001). There were even older ones but I don't think your historical interests extedn that far back.[quote]Paradise (used to be called "Very Good")Feb 2002 reportTel 03-3805-1502Fee: 8000-13000 (9000 for 60 min, discount available before 5 pm)Korean massage parlor (KMP). South exit, Nippori StationA course: 60 min 9,000 yenB course: A course + no braC course: completely nudeFinish: Yes.Massage: 5 starsGirl: two starsRoom comfort: four stars.SP service: three starsMy second visit to this KMP.The male greeter told me the base fee was 8,000 until 5 pm.After receiving a warm hand towel and a Yakult beverage, I waited five minutes and the girl arrived. I was shocked which was partly my fault for not specifying my wishes, but she was in her early 30s and trying had to fit into the skimpy clothes. The shower room was spacious with an akazuri [Korean exfoliation treatment] table. After a brief akazuri treatment we returned to the room.There she explained the course and fees for extras, with no extras available for A course and 3,000 extra for B and 5,000 extra for C.I selected C since it was my first time I wanted to see what it was. Seeing as how the clock had already started I lost time getting my wallet, paying, etc, wish they had explained it before. As for the massage she asked about a whole body pack but since I didn't know what it was I refused. After thigh, shin, foot massage she proceeded to the special service and stripped off all her clothes, but her body showed her age and she didn't allow touching of breast or pussy so the hand job wasn't getting me off. She said we would run out of time for the back massage so I closed my eyes and forced myself to come. She went out to get a towe for my back came back got on me for the back massage and it was time. She said it's already 10 minutes over time and I had to get dressed and leave without a shower. Trying to fit all that service into 60 minutes is obviously trying to make the customer extend the time, and while the girls were friendly to the customer, they were old and the technique was poor. It was an unsatisfying experience. Jan 2001 report.Korean massage parlor (KMP). South exit, Nippori Station9000 yen, 10,000 with nomination.Finish: Yes.Massage: 5 starsGirl: 4 starsRoom comfort: four stars.SP service: three starsTowel use frequency: 5 starsMy first report.During the "Very Good" days there was a girl there I really liked so I went 2 or 3 times. On 24 Jan I had a meeting at the Hotel Longwood so I stopped by on my way home. It wasn??t until I was up the stairs that I noticed the name of the shop had changed. Decor and location of rooms had also changed. I asked for my favorite girl but of course she was gone. I entered without nomination and waited on the sofa. The greeter brought me a towel to wipe hands and face and after draining a Yakult I was summoned to the room. She was petite and cute. She said she was studying Japanese and her Japanese was very good. Massage was good, she politely washed my feet and covered my face with a hot towel rubbed neck, shoulders, head and removed the towel over my face and gave me the melon pack then after asking if lotion was ok she rubbed both legs and arms with lotion to work out kinks. She then lightly massaged face after removing the towel. Then she lowered lights and provided special service. She laid down next to me without removing her clothes, but I was free to touch as I liked. She had really good technique, now soft, now hard.After special service concluded she had me roll over and she gave me a good massage walking on my back. Then she rubbed my shoulders and gave me oolong tea and sent me on my way. My impression from a massage enthusiast point of view was that it was a Korean massage with special service thrown in.[/quote]

Hotel New Sanno is a shit heap sex wise. I have a pass but seldom use it. Too much security. Same goes with the American bases. I odn't want to hand in my ID to some MP fuckhead. If you want high class pussy, check out the Tokyo American Club during the day. John T Skinless is a member. You gotta be high class or be able to pass yourself off as a poet or something but the executive wives are there all day wetting their panties for a bit of action. Key thing is to latch on to their boredom. That is why you need to be able to offer them something hubby cannot give them.

CJW:Thanks for the translation. I can see it's changed a little which is what I suspected. I think now they just have an A and C course + optional sumata. Personally, I felt the massage there was OK, especially when she walks on my back because I'm naturally a little muscle-bound in the upper body area with pretty wide shoulders and chest (genetics, not from working out anymore) and a slight beer belly which is a recipe for lower back aches now so I do enjoy the massages almost as much as the happy endings.Anyway, it's kind of interesting to read an old report. The little towel and Yakult hasn't changed. Personally, with me age doesn't matter as much as technique and feeling as long as they are between 18 and maybe late 30's or even early 40's in some cases, it's OK with me as long as they have taken care of themselves.

Skinless: (re: New Sanno and American Club)Thanks for the New Sanno perspective. I kinda agree with you. It's just an interesting place to visit and I did have a score once there so it has a special place in my heart. The security is pretty tight. If you're a resident in the area I can understand why you don't use it. My friend uses it because his girlfriends like the place and it is kind of exclusive from that standpoint.I've been to the American Club quite a few times and that lousy Chinese restuarant across the street but never for the poontang. I've only been there with an old co-worker friend who I used to work with in the US who is now residing in Tokyo with her husband and kids on an expat package with a major Japanese firm. I guess when I'm there with a housewife and 2 children it's tough to go mongering. Her kids have swimming, basketball and other activities there so sometimes I tag along for lunch or to use the library, always on Saturdays because I can't usually break free from work on the weekdays. It's actually a very comfortable place for Americans because almost everybody there speaks native American English. I'm not high class and I certainly am no poet so I guess it's not an appropriate place to use of my limited mongering skills.

Soujourn:The street you're describing sounds like Senta Gai (Center) past 109 and behind BEAM (near where the burusera shop Final Fantasia is) and Quattro. I think I can find it pretty easily based on your description because I've probably been right by it a bunch of times but never paid attention (again, lack of Japanese literacy and an aversion to touts in general). I'll rely on the touts to guide me as any good mongerer would the next time I get out that way.

Skinless,Great coverage of the Shibuya Sex Tower.Skinless, I have a question for you: if you had your sha-meru equipped cell phone in hand going down the escalator and a J-girl's platform shoe broke and threw her down the escalator where she would surely break her neck, would you drop the cell phone and risk damaging it in order to catch her hand and save her from certain death, or would you snap a shot up her skirt as she flew by you?Please, answer the question and post the picture here.CJW

Ambassador,Regarding the New Sanno, You can come and go any time. If you get a room they will give you a key card which you can keep in your wallet. There is no "curfew." It is open 24 hours a day but you have to pass through security to get in. If you have a valid I.D., no problem. Check out the Sanno website for more particulars, to make reservations, and their email contact info: www.thenewsanno.com. If your I.D. will let you onto a U.S. base it should be good enough to get you into the New Sanno. They have expanded the shopping privileges of reservists lately, but I don't know if that applies to the inactive reserves. I have an active duty I.D.It is tough to get reservations at the New Sanno, and I'm the sort of person who seldom plans anything days in advance, let alone months (I think they are fully booked for weekends, at least 3 months in the future). If I'm knocking around Tokyo on a Saturday and feeling tired I usually just show up around 5:30 P.M. and tell them I want a space-available room for the night. I often get lucky because there are often no-shows for the reserved rooms. If I don't get lucky, no big deal. I just head for home or find a room somewhere else. One advantage of going for a space-a room is that I can sometimes bargain them down on their already-low rates. Last time I talked the clerk into the Japanese Suite (their most expensive rooom) for $60. Homer69,The store on the second floor is a Navy Exchange. It's a pretty good place to shop and they have a nice selection of items for the small size of the store. They accept yen there, as well as U.S. dollars and credit cards. There used to be a Stars & Stripes bookstore upstairs that had porn (Hustler, et. al.) but they ran all the Stars & Stripes bookstores out of Japan years ago. Probably too liberal on their titles for the new conservative military. The Navy Exchange sells books and magazines, but I'm not sure if they have the hard-core porn any more. They probably have Playboy and a few other titles but they might keep them under the counter and you may have to ask for them.Your American credit card is good there, they have an ATM machine, a bank open during the day, and a cashier for the slot machines. They have a military post office downstairs. They used to show recent films on the weekends (cheapest movies in Tokyo) but I'm not sure if it's still in operation. I didn't see it listed on their service menu.Even if you don't spend the night it's a nice place to drop in and spend a few hours. You can have a drink and relax and pretend you're back in the states.

I went by the Shibuya Tower today. COULD NOT GET in. Some old dude waved me and two buddies off with the big X.The "tower" does not seem very big and is a bit grungy looking from the outside.I may try again later when I go by myself. The directions to get there were very accurate.

went into seibu shinjuku today. also went into kyoko. kyoko is very fat and 40s and looks it too so no need for id. defintely not enjo kosei **** but she wears some cute lingerie: if you get off by looking at a jumbo elephant wear frilly lingerie, this rhino is for you. her layers of bellies were worth the entry fee (10k yen for 2 pops, 3 k for the hotel but she bought me a large pepsi - but not nearly as large as herself). there was a skanky lady about at the station, looked drunk, skirt up to her belly button, nice legs for a skank, she wanted 5 k for one shot. i tried to bargain for 2 but no good so i skipped. when i left her, the yakuza chimpira had her under observation (probably did not pay the 2k yen they charge).keiko is small and very rolly poly fat (ordinary japanese size but as broad as she is tall). she wears bright red pink clothes and probably has a heart condition due to her excess meat. how i rate her:camera: zero, she would not let me snap her. i tried to take some funnies of her in the ofuro but no luck.rimming my ass: 3/10. the is obviously not part of her regular routine so she should be forgiven.blow job: enthusiastic; she gives the balls, shaft etc good bbbj exercise. this is where she is best, as well as bath play (blowing you in the oforu before themain course)groaning: good as if she is in pain, which she probably is with all the lard.ass: she is a 3 holer. i oiled up mr skinless and butt fucked her but again she is not a natural at it. bring your own lubricant as she does not supply.pussy: willing once you can find it. this takes time and her pussy mostly serves as a drop off point for your sperm. if you get off on watching a tubby groan under you (don't risk putting her on top) then this is for you.freak value: excellent.friendliness: good and funny english. she knows about me and keiko but she won't tell me where that power pack is. keiko rules and how i missthat sex tiger.where to find her: pottering around seibu shinjuku but she does not do much sentinel duty lately. so hit or miss to find her.recommended? mostly for freak value, to say you fucked a sumo size. and not bad at bbbj. so good to get the seed out as you relax.repeat? not really, that is my second time with her and that is enough.ms skank? again good for freak value. a chain smoker. might be packing some diseases. there were some other skanks around. overall, a quiet day in paradise, and in kyoko.
