Tokyo

Hi,

I got back from Tokyo so I'll share my newbie experience.

First attempt, I went out in the rain in search of the Yoshihara area. After getting off the subway at Ueno, I wandered around, asked around, and after getting soaked I gave up and went back to the hotel. I only knew "Yoshihara" and a general idea of where it was, and it didn't work out.

Next attempt, I did a little more research, figured out where it was and a particular place to go. And no rain. I took the subway to Minowa, then walked to the Yoshihara area. I went to the easy go-to place, Darling. I didn't bring cash, they don't accept credit cards, but they directed me to a nearby 7-Eleven to get cash (how helpful! LOL).

Going into Darling, at the entrance I was told "no skin." At first I thought that meant "no touching" which would suck and would be just like being back at home! But then it suddenly dawned on me what he meant, and that is fine (required by me). Then, after taking off my shoes, I was directed into a little room with a couple of small sofas and a little table. There were pictures on the walls and a picture book, but basically I had one choice, Masaki. For a newbie (in Tokyo) , I just went with it. Especially since I just walked in. I'm not sure what the picture book and wall pictures were all about. She wasn't the skinny little thing I generally prefer, but she was fine. Basically, you're bathed, then enjoy some tub time together / BBBJ, then the nuru massage (which is what I was focused on) /BBBJ, then FS, then she cleans you up (nuru is slick but washes off easily). We had some extra time so she gave me a light massage, and we struggled to communicate using her phone to translate. Cost was 29,800 plus I gave her a tip. I never know what to do when it comes to tips!

As I left, I explored the surrounding area, making note of another place called "Only One" or something one street over. There are a bunch and yes many are Japanese only. Those cost less too. It seems like there is a 10,000 yen premium for not being Japanese. The guys at the front of the Japanese only places can come across as pricks.

I did want to go back and check out Only One the next night but work-wise it didn't work out. That's OK. It's not exactly cheap.

Anyway, I thought I'd share.

If enough fools do this, the girl (or whoever else your tipping) will come to expect this, and you have spoilt yet another good thing.

In Japan, tipping is NOT a general custom. It is only in very special circumstances, and soaplands are not part of that.

But I'm wondering how much tip Nunuv Yurbiz-san left.

Just from curiostiy.

1k yen?

[QUOTE=Mike921;1472232]I realize that for most uneducated, America is the root of all evil in this world, but tipping actually originated in the UK which would make it a 'horrible British custom'.[/QUOTE]But the Americans turned it in to an art form.

Tipping should be a bonus for exceptional service, not compensation for poor wages.

But as for the tipping menace, the Americans take it to absurd extremes and they are the ones who spread it everywhere.

Been there more than 10 times, always go with the nice body ones, and I was lucky to have umi once and did FS for 5000 yen. (since there was no small bills for me after the session and she was really nice, so she didn't charge me at all.) to those who never had her before, she looks like the asian version of that Summer from O. C. Too bad she doesn't work there anymore. Same was Juri, had her twice, best service and no rush. She left around June if I remember correctly.[/QUOTE]Just wondering, do they accept gaijin with no Japanese language skills? Also, what do you consider nice body ones.

[QUOTE=Nino;1472229]If you hate it, why did you do it? Tips are NOT expected in Japan. It is a stupid American custom. Do not introduce it to Japan, please.[/QUOTE]Because I didn't know that and I don't want to risk offending locals when I'm a guest in their country.

I will be staying in a hotel near the Narita airport. My time will be limited I'll be arriving after 9pm and I've heard the trains shut down early up there. Any recommendations for the surrounding area within walking distance or short taxi ride? I wouldn't mind going the delivery route either, but looking for a sure shot on FS on both.

Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]Narita is in the boondocks, and all you will find within walking distance or a short taxi ride are rice paddies and barbed wire. If you must get your nuts off that night, get ready for a very expensive delivery.

I am look for a Pink Salon that excepts Westerners but yet also has nice looking ladies. Cannot seem to find this combo.

Was in Gotanda last night; walked by Dio but all providers were 40 and over.

Any help?

I read on some website that it's possible to catch STD from massage with happy ending (hand to genital contact) , for example it's possible to catch herpes.

I understand probably it's very difficult to catch it, but my question is:

What is your opinion and your experience about it?
