Tokyo

Many thanks to the posters of this board, TravelerX and others. Sharing your misses (or missus if you're into that) is as helpful as the success stories.

I speak Japanese at a high-intermediate level, and am in my mid-60's but look younger. Thought I'd share some additional insights / thoughts.

Keys:

1. Be unfailingly polite. You have 2 strikes against you as a foreigner, especially if you aren't white. Be the perfect respectful, clean, safe customer and doors (and legs) will open. Act like a Karen / Kevin and you ruin your chances.

2. Make sure you understand pricing. There are taxes / surcharges but if it's 10%, don't sweat it. It's the surprise doubling / insane charges to watch out for. Deriheru can't advertise sex (AF is almost a sure thing though) and no one owes it to you but if you are clean, respectful, fun, and give safe vibes, 10-20 k yen more will usually do the trick.

3. Once you've paid or gained entry, act like you belong because you do. You are the customer and the customer is a god. If you don't like a girl, ask for another or don't buy her a drink.

Connection matters. Learn to use translation apps effectively. Have some phrases saved that you can copy / paste. Learn to use spoken translation apps as well as typing can be slow. Many Japanese understand if you use short, simple phrases. It's the 'um, well, I guess you could say' verbal noise that confuses them. If you can quickly share about you, your job, hobbies, birthday / blood type, fav foods, etc. You'll connect more quickly. If you're still sharing birthdays at the 20 min mark, you've run out of time.

4. Don't be afraid of failing. Talk to every woman you like. They're used to it and not offended if you are polite. But talk to everyone around her as well, guys included. Singling her out immediately is rude and not effective. Gaijin have the rep as players. Don't obviously be one but you can still be efficient and focused. That said, 'Don't chase the night. " If it's 1:30 am, you're sobering up from being drunk and struck out, just go home and beat off if you need to. Trying to find that perfect experience isn't likely to happen and you could lose a lot of money and sleep and still be frustrated.

5. Be direct once you've established a connection. This is with escorts, massage ladies, in the wild. "You're so pretty. I like you. I want to see you later / tomorrow." If they decline, bow dramatically (make them laugh) and wish them the best. It's usually better to get their LINE # and connect later / the next day as women don't want to be seen as easy / loose, especially with gaijin. You can sometimes close the deal immediately but it will usually backfire. Give some cover / deniability. Language exchange, tour guide, share a fav food, then bang. I've gotten BBJ, FS, dates from legit massage ladies (not always at the time but later) by just asking. The main thing is they need to trust you as they are often risking their jobs by doing more.

MISC:

* Japanese women don't see sex as dirty or shameful. It's a basic bodily function. They often put on the 'shy / innocent but you are such a sex god that they can't help themselves' act but some will be refreshingly forward.

* You may get newbies who are genuinely nervous but those can end up being the best experiences if you are patient, kind, and know what you are doing. If you get them horny enough, almost anything goes. Compliment freely. The worst is the ones who don't want to be there and don't care. Generally the hotter ones who know it. They don't last. Share you are disappointed at the lack of effort and cut the session short. Sometimes they'll at least try then. Give feedback to the scheduler / site.

* You can do a ton of research and pay a premium for diamond level / PSE which is great if you have the funds or limited time. I far prefer a high volume / cut bait approach as it's low risk / cost in general. Oppai clubs, DeriHeru, etc. Are good experiences even if you don't orgasm. Enjoy the variety, boobs, great skin, kissing, and even cuddling / affection. I've turned cold / disinterested / jaded partners into discounted OTC visitors once they feel seen / heard / respected and cherished. Don't fall in love but you can show that you are genuinely interested in them as people, listen well, and hope they thrive.

* Japanese women give the best BJs for what I like. Slow, sensual, a lot of tongue / mouth contact and they try to make it last. I don't like sloppy toppy / PSE style. Sex is wonderful but a good BJ w / CIM can be more satisfying. Mix it up.

* Bring little gifts if you return to a spot. Giving a few beers, chocolates, snacks to manzoku and providers while remembering their names does wonders. Tipping can backfire but gift giving? There's nothing more Japanese.

[QUOTE=CCRider1008;2983858]Another good post. Much appreciated. This one doesn't sound as good as Etoile. The bang thing and smoke would have caused same reaction from me. On all these websites I'm unable to tap into their "blogs" or "diaries" or even the "schedule" button as it tries to bring me to a [URL]cityheaven.net[/URL] site which then error messages me "you're computer is showing strange behavior" or something like that. Did you have similar issue?[/QUOTE]That's a good question that I forgot to address. Cityheaven requires your location to be in Japan. To get around this, I set my VPN to connect to Japan and that works. I'm not sure what you can do if you don't use VPN. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Diary system on the E'toile site isn't cityheaven and you can still view them.

I know you asked about Fuyuno FS, I'll post a report of it soon but long story short, they (again, part of threesome) asked for 40,000 yen EACH and there was no way I was going to pay that because I didn't have enough cash on me at that point. We brought it down to 25,000 each when they realized I wasn't kidding or budging.

Date: January.

Location: Incall at Shinuku.

Agent: [URL]https://hentaitokyo.com/profile?cc=1820[/URL].

Name: Himeka.

Nationality and language: Japanese / Thai and very good English.

Age: Probably low to mid-20's at most.

Face: 9/10.

Body: 8/10.

Service: 8/10.

GFE: 7/10.

PSE: 7/10.

Damage: 42 k (120 min) + 5 k (love hotel) + 20 k (FS) = 67 k.

WIR: Probably.

Background:

Here's another report. This was the first time ever visiting THC incall. My prior experience at THC was an outcall to my hotel which I'll report about soon. I'm an ass guy so I chose Himeka based on other reports that confirmed she has an incredible ass. I found Himeka's IG and messaged her directly there. She responded with very good English and was friendly so I felt reassured. I booked my appointment directly through her and never had to message THC about my appointment. I even had to change the appointment a couple of days before the date / time and Himeka was very accommodating. I just noticed she moved up to Gold status (good for her) but she was Silver when I saw her.

Introduction:

I arrived at the THC office 10 minutes early and walked upstairs. It's initially confusing because there are other non-THC stalls on the same floor and they are VERY unfriendly. They wouldn't even tell me which stall was THC and I just had to ask every single one until I found it (towards the back, right side). Check-in was honestly a little crappier than I expected so I would recommend you outcall to your hotel if you can. The staff speaks very good English and I confirmed that I was there for my appointment with Himeka. They told me to wait in the next room and there was another foreigner already waiting there in a tiny, messy room. It was clearly a little awkward for both of us as we were just sitting next to each other. Luckily, it didn't take long for Himeka to arrive and I was told to go back down to meet her. Himeka was waiting for me and I was pleasantly surprised by her face! She's much prettier in person with an exotic face that I couldn't quite place. It turns out she's half Thai and that's also where she gets her big butt from (she told me this). Her photos on the THC page don't do her face justice and I told her this and she said she doesn't know how to take good photos. She was pretty covered up so I couldn't judge her figure but she's very short. The site lists her at 150 cm and that's probably accurate.

Her English is also very good. I would think she spent time in the States but she said she only learned from watching American TV shows. She asked me what hotel I wanted to go to and I told her to pick one she likes and she led the way to Pasha (I've heard other reports say that Himeka is "chill" and I can see why. She initially comes off as a little cold as she doesn't really smile or talk much but I learned later that she's pretty introverted. I tried to make more conversations to break the ice but we just sort of walked in silence to the hotel.

Session:

In the hotel, we both undressed and I noticed she has a little bit of a pouch on her stomach. I wouldn't say this was a turn off for me but it's definitely noticeable so if you prefer skinny girls, Himeka isn't for you. And I'll also confirm that she has a massive latina-like ass. It looks even bigger on her small frame and it was certainly bigger than I expected. She has cute, natural be-cup tits. She asked me to brush my teeth as she did the same and we hopped in the shower. Shower was basic, she washed me and stroked my little guy a few times but nothing special. We got out and she asked me, "so what do you want to do?" I asked her what's on the menu and she told me FS was 20,000 yen if I wanted it. I asked her if she can throw in CIM for that price and we agreed on the cost. She then asked me what I like or don't like and I told her I like pretty much everything. I asked her the same and she said she does not like her nipples played with because it just makes her very ticklish. So no touching or licking of her nipples. This was a little bit of a disappointment as I sometimes like to focus on them as the girl is riding me but okay.

With the costs and rules set, we hopped on the bed and started a LFK session. There wasn't much DFKs. My hands were all over her ass at that point as there's so much to grab. She eventually worked her way down and started an okay BBBJ session with some light-to-medium suction. I asked her to turn around for some 69 because I just wanted the view of her ass up close and it was glorious. It felt amazing to grab those cheeks and just admire the view. I noticed then that she has a cute, little pussy so I returned the favor and she let out some cute moans.

She eventually put a cap on and hopped on for some CG. It was good, nothing special, and I of course had to ask her to turn around so I could admire that ass of hers. As I mentioned in a previous report, it's almost impossible for me to finish twice in a 2 HR session so I never want to blow my load too early. I could only handle so much of watching her ass bounce on me so we switched over to missionary and I slowed down the pace a bit. We resumed more LFKs as we moved slowly. I enjoyed her legs in various positions and I decided to get a little playful and went into lick her nipples to see how she would respond. She immediately started giggling and gave me a playful push. I found this very cute and we shared a nice laugh about it. I also feel like this is when some of her "chill" ice broke as it was the first time I saw her genuinely smile and laugh and she had a beautiful smile. Maybe she felt the same because she started moaning a little more as well. After some more slow action, I knew I was nearing the finish line and asked her to get on all fours for some doggy. I was obviously going to finish in this position and I tried to last as long as I could as I went from slow to fast. I realized I was pounding her harder and she was moaning harder so asked if she was okay and she said yes and to keep going. This pretty much put me over the edge and I grabbed her ass and pounded away until she was flat on the bed and I finished while bounding on her ass. We laid there for a few seconds and she cleaned me up and we both washed up a bit in the shower.

Conclusion:

I wish I was not old or energetic enough to have a round two but I don't, especially not after mongering almost daily during this trip. Himeka also didn't try initiating a second round but maybe it's more on the paying customer to initiate round two. In hindsight, I should have initiated some ass worship while I had the chance. We just lay in bed chatting and she was clearly a lot more comfortable than before. We talked about our lives, hobbies, etc. She told me how she's an introvert and basically stays home all day watching anime when she's not working. She then showed me some clips of her favorite anime and laughed a lot which is when I realized how cute she was and how young she seemed. There was probably a lot more chemistry in this moment than during the sex. Time was almost up so we showered together and walked out. She said she wished I would see her again and maybe she says this to everyone but I felt like she meant it and that's good enough for me. I'm happy to see that she's moved up to Gold status now, she deserves it.

Hi guys. Quick write up of the Marine Blue in Shinjuku.

Showed up at 6:15 in the morning because I was wide awake. Took elevator to 5th floor. Politely stated that I did not have an appointment but would be honored to see someone. Waiting room for 5 minutes. Shown 3 pictures. Chose Aname Misuzu. Waited 5 more minutes then escorted to room.

She is super sweet and nice. Speaks English enough to converse. I chose the 90 minute session.

Started with on the bed and a nice BBBJ. I didn't even feel the condom go on then she rotated and slid right onto junior. Nice cowgirl and I blew pretty fast.

Over to bath, then chair soap thing. Then back to bath as she prepared the mat for nuru.

Over to mat, the whole sliding around thing then she got me hard again and back on top for cowgirl again. After a few minutes I told her that there wasn't any way I was going to cum, but it wasn't her fault. She switched to HJ immediately but I said thank you but that wouldn't work.

Interesting thing is that she then just laid her head on my shoulder and we talked for a while. Super nice as I kept feeling up her butt.

She's a sweet and nice woman with natural A or be cups. I plan on repeating, but strangely she says that if I repeat that the house takes 20 K yen from her. I said I'd make it up so no worries.

Sorry this is short but need to run. I think I paid 55 k yen or something like that. I'm sure it is more than Yoshiwara because of being in Shinjuku.

[QUOTE=CCRider1008;2983859]My trip will be Osaka-Kyoto-Hakone-Toyko. Flying into Itami and out of Haneda. After doing some math JR Pass doesn't seem to be worth it for me. So my question is how does an English speaking tourist most efficiently navigate the worlds most confusing train system? I imagine I'm taking the bullets on most of these legs. Are the signs and stations at airports and train stations easy to navigate with signage or is best bet just to ask an attendant the best and fastest ways point to point when arriving at train stations? I also will be with baggage and I've read booking in first class (green cars) is more convenient with baggage -- is this accurate?[/QUOTE]It's really not that difficult. Especially now with google maps. Put in your destination and Google maps will tell you which station, which train, what time it will arrive.

Signs are okay inside. Attendants can be difficult to find, especially in large crowds of people, and they usually don't speak English.

I take taxis which is the easiest and most convenient way. Door to door service is impossible to beat.

Yoshiwara soaps can charge 55 k too, or more. Soaps elsewhere like Ikebukuro and Kawasaki can charge as little as 20,000 though.

How old was she?

Alltaken,

80 K yen is $527 at current exchange. Does Cordon -Bleu posts that rate for 120 minutes?

I went to Barubola Soapland Shinzuku one night. Their prices would be over 80 K why for 120 minutes with options. I could make appointments for their cast with beautiful pics, but the 2 girls available on location looked chunky and homely like old housewives. I could not get aroused by those girls, left alone having to pay for them, so I decided to pass:

[URL]https://en.barubola.com/[/URL]

Sites for escorts and delivery health post beautiful girls' pictures, slim bodies with flawless skin and smooth feminine features. The ones I booked did not look as good as the pics; heavier and faces not as pretty with pimples. Most civie girls on the street look a lot better, actually beautiful with pretty faces and clear skin. One tall girl in Luxe Oppai club did look that good. But she would be very expensive, may be impossible to bag in bed. We are not bagging top tiered girls in Japan, more likely scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I met a few civie women in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, mid 20's to mid 30's, so open, helpful, noble, no bad attitudes or prejudices, I really want to get close to them. But the commercial sex scene in Tokyo is way too expensive and girls are just not attractive enough for me.

Bangkok has a lot more venues for girls with much lower prices, good entertainment, recreation, also good food everywhere. Weather is warm, which is a big plus over Tokyo.

I don't know why it keeps inserting lines between the different attributes above as it shows up normally when I type this. Anyways.

Background:

Here's another review of another high-end soapland. This is the first soapland I've ever visited so I had no idea what to expect. My expectations were too high which led to some disappointment that I'll discuss more below. But I'll also say that I believe others can have a much better time with Sei than I did if they knew what to expect before going into it so I hope this helps.

Appointment:

After too much research into the various soaplands, I made my decision based on Sei's physical description and photos on the site and the diary page. This was a noob mistake on my part as I went solely based on looks which I even knew were probably edited. I guess I needed to experience it first hand and learn from the experience. Booking was easy. I found her Line account, messaged her using a translation app, and booked the appointment directly with Sei. I then confirmed with her again the day before my appointment.

Introduction:

I showed up 10 minutes before my appointment and was escorted to a room with a few single-seat couches. I admit I was quite nervous as this was my first time at a soapland. I needed to use the restroom and noticed there was a door in the room so I opened it thinking it was the restroom. It was actually a door to another waiting room, and I saw another foreigner sitting there which was a little awkward and a mistake on my part. I quickly learned that I needed to just stay put and let the staff know that I needed to use the restroom and get escorted there. After the restroom use, the staff brought me a drink and I settled the bill and waited for Sei.

I was escorted to the stairs leading up to the rooms and Sei met me at the stairwell. This was my first disappointment. Her face wasn't what I expected. I had expected the clean, perfect skin that I saw in the photos but she looked a little more plastic than I expected and she had some acne around her face which is a bit of a turn off for me. She's also a bit too skinny for my taste without much of an ass that I expected from her photos. I like tall girls and she is tall, her profile says she's 170 cm, and that's probably accurate. She has fake tits which I knew but it looked a bit abnormal on such a tall, skinny frame. If you like tall and skinny girls with big fake tits, then you're going to really like Sei. She was nice and friendly and escorted me up to her room after a small kiss on the lips.

Session #1:

The room was huge and it was the biggest room of the three soaplands that I went to. We talked a little bit using Google Translate and I let her know that it was my first time at a soapland. She asked if I wanted to use the mat and I told her I wanted to experience everything as it's my first time. She was friendly and easy to talk to which helped me overcome the initial disappointment I got when I saw her for the first time. Sei then undressed me and put everything away nicely in a bin. I admit I was a little uncomfortable as she insisted on undressing everything herself, including my socks, as I don't really want or need someone to take my socks off for me.

Sei had me lay flat on my back on the bed as she got on top of me and started with LFKs. She worked her way down and started giving me a BBBJ while letting out some light moans. I found her moans a bit too manufactured and fake so it did nothing for me. The BBBJ was okay and she went at it for a bit. She then climbed on and started riding me before I realized that she put me inside of her raw! I thought I had read that everything was capped so I had assumed she put the cap on at some point. I was shocked when I realized what was happening and I actually stopped her to make sure it wasn't some mistake. I told her, "condom? No? And she looked confused and said "daijobou, it's okay!" I clearly didn't handle this well because for the next few minutes, I just laid there worrying too much about going at it raw at a soapland rather than enjoying the experience. Once I came back to reality, I noticed Sei was doing something that I found a bit weird. As she rode me, she kept one hand on her bangs to keep them in place the entire time. It just looked stupid to me that she was riding me with her hand holding her hair down onto her forehead. It was a big turn off and I couldn't stop focusing on it. So I asked her to lie down and switched to missionary. As I went at it with her legs in various positions, she still kept one hand on her bangs the entire time! Again, I found this quite weird and a turn off and I kind of just wanted this session to end. So I went in for some LFK / DFKs to not look at her hand and pumped away with the sole purpose of finishing. She had me CIP and she cleaned us up. In hindsight, maybe I could have moved her hand away or asked her to stop doing that but I didn't want to be rude during the session.

Break:

She started drawing the bath and we started chatting again. She asked about my travels and I told her I had been to Korea recently and she told me she has traveled to Korea many times. I asked her why and she said she went for all the plastic surgeries she's had and started going down the list of things she had done from her eyes to her nose to her chin. This was TMI for me but whatever. But then came another disappointment. She took out an e-cig and asked if it was okay if she smoked. I actually really don't like the smell of smoke but I also didn't want to be rude and tell her she couldn't smoke in her own room so I said okay. While smoking, she spent some time looking at her phone so I asked her what she was looking at. She said she day trades stocks so she was looking at how her trades were doing. I just sat there awkwardly as she took her break. She eventually finished and asked me to relax in the tub.

She then set up the chair and asked me to sit down for the chair session. She gave me some rubs and tried to give me some more LFKs but I could smell the strong smell of smoke on her breath and wasn't into it. She then had me get back in the tub as she prepped the mat and slippery oil. I watched as I was more curious to see and experience everything. I wasn't turned on at all. As the mat was ready, she had me lie face down on the mat as she did her thing. Again, my face was down so I'm not sure exactly what she did but there was a lot of rubbing and sliding and I found the entire experience both a little silly, fun, and interesting. I didn't feel anything sexually even though I felt she was skilled and she used her entire body to rub herself all over me. After the mat play, she had me get back in the tub as she put everything away. I then dried off and hopped back onto the bed.

Session 1. 5:

As I mentioned in my previous report, It's difficult for me to cum more than once during a session so I appreciate that Sei tried. My little guy didn't react at all during the chair / mat session so Sei wasted no time on the bed. She started another round of BBBJ / HJ trying to get me going and she actually got me hard after some time. She then got back on top and slipped me in and started riding me again. I was impressed she got me hard again and I thought she might be able to get another finish from me until I saw her holding her bangs to her head and looking silly again! At this point, I was just turned off and lost all interest in continuing. She bounced up and down for a few more minutes but I didn't feel much. I told her that I'm done and asked her to stop. She looked more relieved than anything and hopped off and cleaned me up.

Conclusion:

There was still about 20 minutes left in the session and I thought we would just hang out and chat. But Sei pulled out her e-cig and phone and started smoking while looking at her stocks again. I didn't want to just sit there while she did her thing so I told her that I hadn't eaten anything all day and asked if we can end the session early so that I could go get some food. She was perfectly okay with this so we both got dressed and she walked me down. I was escorted back to the waiting room and the staff brought me another drink before I was ready to leave. I left soon after.

Thoughts:

I know a lot of guys like skinny girls and don't mind fake tits so I know this is subjective. I also know that I went in with extremely high expectations so my disappointments got the better of me. I do believe Sei is skilled and tried to please so I wouldn't write her off completely.

One takeaway for everyone is that a lot of soaplands are open to foreigners if you do your research. I've visited Etoile, Cordon Blue, and why-shirts. I can also confirm that girls at Versailles and Moulin Rouge told me they can accept me but I ultimately didn't book appointments there.[/QUOTE]

It is IP locked to Japan. You need VPN. Once you land in Japan and connect to wifi you'll be able to read cityheaven. Ironically, you may be sometimes locked out of the English-version portals! Note that if you are using roaming cellular internet, you will still be US IP even standing in the middle of Japan. You'll know you have a Japan IP because you get a bunch of weird Japanese ads instead.

Yes, JR Rail Pass is not worth it anymore. It used to be way cheaper and do more, but for that reason it lost JR money. I was able to take bullet trains with 3 month Japanese, it is intimidating at first but every station has a trainmaster you can ask and at the major stations along the Shinkansen lines they deal with toursts all day long. They are top tier experts on train schedules. Signs everywhere are in English too. If it is an electronic board just wait a few seconds and it will cycle to English too.

About green cars, the key depends on if you go when it's busy or not, holiday or not. There are times things are kind of dead and you don't need a reservation, other times you want one "or else". But actually, I have traveled in peak times and the worst case is you have to stand in-between trains babysitting your luggage without a seat or luggage spot for them. So even the worst case is do-able. If you miss a train the trainmaster is usually an expert on rerouting your ticket, though you may lose your reservation if it is full.

The good news is that Osaka and Kyoto are close so even if you take a local train instead of Shinkasen it might end up the same depending on the schedule. Lots of people take the various local lines from Tokyo to Hakone. We like faster trains obviously but your legs are the limiting factor, worst case enjoy the view.

[QUOTE=WiseTraveler;2983861]Many thanks to the posters of this board, TravelerX and others. Sharing your misses (or missus if you're into that) is as helpful as the success stories.

1. Be unfailingly polite. You have 2 strikes against you as a foreigner, especially if you aren't white. Be the perfect respectful, clean, safe customer and doors (and legs) will open. Act like a Karen / Kevin and you ruin your chances.

2. Make sure you understand pricing. There are taxes / surcharges but if it's 10%, don't sweat it. It's the surprise doubling / insane charges to watch out for. Deriheru can't advertise sex (AF is almost a sure thing though) and no one owes it to you but if you are clean, respectful, fun, and give safe vibes, 10-20 k yen more will usually do the trick.[/QUOTE]

This is great advice from beginning to end and covers many topics rarely mentioned. Especially with civilian women. It is much easier to talk with civilian women in Japan, though you need the proper excuse to talk with them first. For beginners, I do recommend Roppongi or Shibuya for various reasons. Japanese civilians tend to be super busy but on their off time when they are mentally open, they congregate certain spots especially if they are open to foreigners or meeting people. Friday Saturday night in Roppongi is busiest, it is almost a Las Vegas strip vibe with people from all over the world having a good time in small groups of friends.

[QUOTE=Rick Rock;2983919]I take taxis which is the easiest and most convenient way. Door to door service is impossible to beat.[/QUOTE]

One tip about taxis is sometimes they would know about the place you want to go, but the pronunciation is a barrier. Some shops and places have a totally different name or pronunciation in Japanese than English. One shop in English says "Almonds" but in Japanese is written "Amando". 5 out of 5 times no taxi had any idea what Almonds was but immediately knew about Amando which was quite famous. Same with Leicester which is always pronounced "Lester" and so on. For this reason it sometimes helps to take a business card or show the Japanese name of a place to the taxi.

Taxis can be very convenient at times, there are pros and cons when I use them. Obviously, public transportation like trains is super cheap in comparison when available but not always direct. Google is a good tip. Remember that Google is doing real-time mapping so if you ask at 3am for a route, it will get confused and no longer be realistic since trains don't run at that time.

[QUOTE=Captain Solo;2983956]I met a few civie women in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, mid 20's to mid 30's, so open, helpful, noble, no bad attitudes or prejudices, I really want to get close to them. But the commercial sex scene in Tokyo is way too expensive and girls are just not attractive enough for me.[/QUOTE]

I will try to sum up the pros and cons of Japanese women, obviously it's just my opinion. There are bad women in every country, but Japan has a high share of classy quality women. Women who are beautiful on the inside, even though on average Japanese women are not as beautiful on the outside. Japanese women tend less to have amazing bodies whether boobs or butt, but they are much more feminine than even other Asian women. A much higher percentage of them are wife material. Most keep themselves in good shape, and of the ones already in good shape they tend to stay that way long-term. They also know presentation, though that means when the makeup and clothes off you can see a bigger gap. The downside is if you have children with them, they put the children first and tend to lose interest in sex. They have a strong sense of duty to take care of their parents' later in life when their parents' health fails, which I consider a proper thing but important for others to know as a 'downside'. They also as a rule do not show public affection, or even private affection apart from the bedroom (excepting the honeymoon phase). This is a huge balance of pros and cons for some guys. I've seen friends go through this and surprisingly it tends to work out despite the downsides. It is always about a compatibility of values.

[QUOTE=AllTaken123;2983909]I wish I was not old or energetic enough to have a round two but I don't, especially not after mongering almost daily during this trip.[/QUOTE]

I wish I could feel sorry for your dilemma but it sounds like you've got life itself figured out. Some of us worked hard all our lives, we deserve a trip like yours at least once. There is no rush but I hope each person finds a bucket list like your no matter the country or hobby.

Never really get too see many detailed reports on Himeka as I don't have a monthly sub to other review sites and so on that report on THC Shinjuku. In fact, I'm not sure I saw a report on her where she offered FS. Pounding that legendary ass of her's must've been magical.

I had a really shitty experience with my only THC outcall when I was in Tokyo last in 2023. Provider's name is Kureha who was their #2 at the time. She's now gone. Originally booked with Chloe but she canceled. It really made me question THC and Tokyo mongering in general. Honolulu mongers like me are spoiled with the service, even if I haven't played in a while. Mostly Korean matures than youngins here but if you can get past that, your golden. I am returning to Tokyo next month for vacation and to give THC Shinjuku another chance. I was supposed to stop in Osaka first and try the THC branch in Namba but sumo tickets were too expensive and cut Osaka out of my trip. I'd rather spend the $ on pussy than sumo.

Great reports on THC Shinjuku, fellas! Looking forward to reading more to finalize my choices. This Himeka review by AT123 has me convinced. The LFK may be a deal breaker as DFK is my #1 for GFE services but the legendary ass of hers in FS has me thinking otherwise.

[QUOTE=CCRider1008;2983859]My trip will be Osaka-Kyoto-Hakone-Toyko. Flying into Itami and out of Haneda. After doing some math JR Pass doesn't seem to be worth it for me. So my question is how does an English speaking tourist most efficiently navigate the worlds most confusing train system? I imagine I'm taking the bullets on most of these legs. Are the signs and stations at airports and train stations easy to navigate with signage or is best bet just to ask an attendant the best and fastest ways point to point when arriving at train stations? I also will be with baggage and I've read booking in first class (green cars) is more convenient with baggage -- is this accurate?[/QUOTE]Unless you plan on travelling the full the length of Japan, best forget about JR pass. Just pay-as-you-go with a Suica or Pasmo prepaid card, accepted on all transport systems. Some long distance trains may require reservations if you want to be assured of a good seat.

There is plenty of info in English around stations so it is not hard to find your way around. Plenty of info on line. Googling "A to be" will probbaly give you all the info you need; plenty of other travel apps as well. Plenty of train staff speak English, you just need to be clear about where you want to go.

Happy travels.

[QUOTE=RickRock;2983411]I agree with this, though I don't even necessarily think you have to treat them respectfully.[/QUOTE]One thing I have learned is that if a girl agrees to go out with you, if you don't bed her on the first date you are not likely to get a second chance.

It is real time so at 10:00 PM you might be better off taking a different train than you would be at 10:10 PM.

It would only be wrong if you were looking up a route a 3:00 today but didn't plan to travel until 10:00 tomorrow.

Trains do stop running at night. Another great reason to use taxis. Costs more, but totally worth it to me. Especially when it's hot or cold.

[QUOTE]Sites for escorts and delivery health post beautiful girls' pictures, slim bodies with flawless skin and smooth feminine features. The ones I booked did not look as good as the pics; heavier and faces not as pretty with pimples. Most civie girls on the street look a lot better, actually beautiful with pretty faces and clear skin. [/QUOTE]Generally speaking, I agree with this. An exception in my experience is Amateur Tokyo Escort. The girls there either look like the pics or better than the pics. I have tried several. They must hold high beauty standards for hiring them.

[QUOTE=AussieGaigin;2984073]One thing I have learned is that if a girl agrees to go out with you, if you don't bed her on the first date you are not likely to get a second chance.[/QUOTE]Often true.

I tend to walk them back to the train station at the end of a date, then when we get there I say something like "I wish we can spend more time together. Do you want to go into one of these love hotels?

If it works, you fuck them.

If not, you don't lose anything anyway.

Then you walk into a fuzoku and blow a load in a hooker.

[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;2983956]Alltaken,

80 K yen is $527 at current exchange. Does Cordon -Bleu posts that rate for 120 minutes?[/QUOTE]I mentioned this in my previous review but they only post the "Bathing Fee". I consider this to just be the entrance fee and not the total fee. As I understand it, a lot of the high-end soaplands are 120 minutes only so I wasn't given an option for short times. I was told the total fee of 80,000 by Sei herself and this matches what I've read in other sites.

[QUOTE]Generally speaking, I agree with this. An exception in my experience is Amateur Tokyo Escort. The girls there either look like the pics or better than the pics. I have tried several. They must hold high beauty standards for hiring them. https://amateurtokyo.com/girls/.[/QUOTE]I'll say that this wasn't my experience during my trip. I saw three girls from Amateur Tokyo Escort and the photos all look better than real life, which I expected. But I would also add that all the experiences were great. All the girls were very sweet and they all had great figures and the stated physical attributes on the site were pretty accurate. Finally, they definitely felt more amateur than THC, more of a sweet, GND experience than professionals and I would highly recommend it. Great times. I'll post reviews of them soon.

[QUOTE]1. Be unfailingly polite. You have 2 strikes against you as a foreigner, especially if you aren't white. Be the perfect respectful, clean, safe customer and doors (and legs) will open. Act like a Karen / Kevin and you ruin your chances.[/QUOTE]I cannot agree with this more and will stress it a million times. Please be respectful and treat the girls well. I'm grateful I was able to experience what I did and wouldn't want establishments closing their doors to foreigners due to behavior issues. I brought small gifts for girls, usually just a small box of chocolates that cost less than $10 USD as it was getting close to Valentine's. They didn't care that it was cheap, it was just a token of appreciation and respect and they all seemed happy. I made sure I was clean and even trimmed my nails. I groomed but made sure not to shave it down after reading that Japanese girls don't like stubble. I asked all the girls what they like or don't like. The girls at Amateur Tokyo asked me not be too rough with them and that kind of broke my heart a little as they were so sweet and cute and I felt like there was no way I would want to hurt them or make them uncomfortable (I don't like rough play anyway). They all thanked me for being gentle and kind and treated me as if I was their boyfriend with lots of cuddles and kisses. Treat them well and they'll treat you well.

I know my reviews are long and therefore, a little late, so I'll rank my experiences in a general order but your YMMV. I'll leave Luxe out as that was just foreplay and I could have fun there every night.

Amateur Tokyo slightly THC Soaplands.

But there are so many options when it comes to girls so your YMMV.
