Tokyo

[Daebis]

Hi,

Was stopped by girls dresses cute with massage shop placards in their hands asking me to go up the steps.

I ignore them. But saw 4 - 5 girls around Shibuya crossing.

Any idea what sort of places are these, worth visiting?

Looking for a good foreign friendly pink saloon, please advice.

Here for 2 days.

Thanks.

I've had the chance to visit Barubola Marine Blue in Shinjuku in the last month, and a couple of times earlier this year. If you're looking for a foreigner-friendly soapland experience and are willing and able to pay, I can recommend it. They put a 20 K gaijin tax up, and are very upfront about it, so it's 60 k+ for 90 minutes. Affordable compared to the huge rip-off that is Don Juan, but otherwise. Very, very pricey.

However, on each of my visits, the girls have been gorgeous, and very accommodating.

Thanks for the review. Just want to add a few important details. They have a small ( 9%) discount for early mornings so if somehow you are there 6 am-10 am (morning wood?) it is -2000 yen for 50 minutes and -5000 yen for 90 minutes. However, some girls do not work those hours. Note that there can be a big variation in wait time depending on which girl you choose. I won't go into the different reasons but 5 to 40 minutes sounds about right.

They are quite explicit that they are both open to foreigners and also add on a 20,000 yen foreigner tax. There are also other options such as 15 minute time extension, some girls are premium (adding 1000 to 6000), etc. The 20,000 yen foreigner tax is regardless of 50/90/120 minute choice, and as mentioned 90 is probably a good place to start if you want the full soap experience. 120 if you are multi-shot and long-lasting etc. The foreigner tax is even on the Japanese page so it is not like this is just a language test. It is in some ways a risk tax for them since their most important criteria is "no trouble". You can see their rules / prohibitions list for everyone are risk related. The rules are the bare minimum of decency so if you weren't going to follow them before being told then honestly soapland is not for you anyways.

Without the foreigner tax the rates are about right for Shinjuku. It's only 50% more than Yokohama Kira Kira so as long as the girls are better it is justified. They are foreigner welcome so just behave. It is common sense and you will have fun.

For those curious, the rules are pretty much the same at every shop:
Insulting / Violence against women.
Any sort of act that is disliked by women.
Any kind of act of stalking women.
Any members of a gang member or similar people are not allowed.
Usage by anyone in the same industry.
Headhunting or any act that is similar.
People who are drunk or is mentally unstable.
Any suspicion of possession or usage of drugs.
Anyone with or suspicion of sexually transmitted disease.
Lack of cleanliness.
Any other acts that the store may consider prohibited.
Acts that do not follow our instructions.
Acts that do not use hygiene products.

Notice that ugliness is not a factor. If you act like a normal person to the girls they will worship you just the same. Do not disrespect the girls that won't work anywhere in the world.

Just wanted to say thanks to Kib123 for this great post. Amateurtokyo.com was everything he described and more.

In 2023 I used https://tokyo-puffpuff.com/ but this year on my trip to Tokyo the shop was closed. I came to this forum to find out what happened and came across this post. Perfect timing as I honestly believe it is the same company and they closed puffpuff and opened amateurtokyo a few meters away. I remember the young guy at the counter from 2023.

I went early and had a choice of 5 women, 3 blonde haired and 2 raven haired. I chose one of the raven haired woman, I forget her working name. My Japanese is very basic so I just used the translate app on my phone. We had a great session. The pricing was similar to what was quoted below. I did have a small extra fee for 1st timer but whatever since the Yen is so weak. The language barrier is easy to get over if you keep a friendly tone and smile and laugh at silly things when they happen. She showered me, we brushed our teeth. DFK, BBBJ, DATY, finished with Sumata. She asked if I wanted to try again as I had extra time left, I was jet lagged so I declined and just ended up using the translate app and broken english to chat and talk about her and places to eat in Shibuya.

We exchanged LINE ID's and she gave me her real name. We tried to connect outside of the club but my travel schedule was to hectic to make it work before I left.

Overall a great experience and would repeat again and try a different girl just for variety sake. Just to be clear No Full Service everything as described in the menu is available.

Be safe out there!! Be Kind!

This is a detailed perspective to help newbie mongers like me. Skip to the middle for just the mongering stuff.

Hentai-Tokyo was my original target based on insights from this forum, but as I was browsing for intel, I came across an ad for Tokyo Amateur Escorts (https://amateurtokyo.com/), with a pricing structure that seemed more attractive, but no mention or reviews anywhere. I decided to pay them a visit and take one for the team if needed.
...
Anyway, back to the virgin experience. The room was small but clean and had all the essentials, a large screen TV, a toilet, a shower with bathtub, air conditioning (all 6 rooms I sessioned in at the Onyx were similar). The lady (going by Manami, https://amateurtokyo.com/%e6%a3%ae%e...1%aa%e3%81%bf/) knocked on the door after about 5 min. Young, hot, slender but shapely (feminine), tallish (about 5'6" almost modelesque. Spoke zero English, but very friendly personality and playful demeanor. My original skepticism began to melt instantly.
...
Happy mongering my friends!

I've been a bit of a lurker here, trying to understand the Japanese scene from the outside. It's not easy. Here's an attempt to give back.

I've had the chance to visit Barubola Marine Blue in Shinjuku in the last month, and a couple of times earlier this year. If you're looking for a foreigner-friendly soapland experience and are willing and able to pay, I can recommend it. They put a 20 K gaijin tax up, and are very upfront about it, so it's 60 k+ for 90 minutes. Affordable compared to the huge rip-off that is Don Juan, but otherwise. Very, very pricey.

However, on each of my visits, the girls have been gorgeous, and very accommodating. My Japanese is very limited, and so we used phone translation extensively, which worked well. As a newbie, you can just let the girl lead. From the sitting shower where you are thoroughly scrubbed, to the mutual bath, to slippery mat play, to bed time. They're great.

If you want to try it all, you'll need 120 minutes and some stamina. Otherwise, in 90 minutes, you generally have time for either bed or mat, but not both. 50 minutes is probably just some shower and bed time.

I have learned through experience that the house recommendations here are spot on. They're not trying to mislead you. They genuinely know who's great. The girls I have seen are mostly early to mid 20's in age, with one who was probably early 30's and by far the best service to make up for her slightly older age.

I don't believe it's possible to make a reservation as a foreigner. I am asked if I have one when I walk in, and then when I don't, I am always led to a waiting room. Sometimes I am alone, sometimes I am there with other men. Usually all Japanese, with maybe one other foreigner e. G. Chinese guy. Then they come with cards of who is available. Even as a walk-in, there have always been at least 2-3 options, with waiting times ranging from 5 to 40 minutes. Payment is made, they go over the rules (which are common-sense -- come on guys, don't be an ass), and then they hand you a number card.

I do recommend, although once you've added the Gaijin tax the price is a bit much. On my next visit I will spend some time looking at some of the lower cost options to compare.

Any recommendations for ride sharing apps?

I've always used Uber while in Japan. The only difference is that the traditional taxi service is linked with it, so a real taxi will show up.

I've also heard about S. Ride, but I've never personally used it.

Most people will tell you to avoid taxis in Japan as they're more expensive than a lot of other places around the world, but with much of Japan's public transit absolutely shutting down around midnight or so, when you're in a pinch. You're in a pinch.

What hotel did you book in Shinjuku?

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku which is supposedly a very short walk to Tokyo Hentai.

[MikeMark]

Shall be in Shinjuku, July 16 - 23. Plan to visit Tokyo Hentai and Luxe frequently.

LMK if you want to meet up.

Google will throw up a few suggestions, but I suspect they won't include foreigners in their definition of "mixed".

I have a different type of question. I will be visiting Japan in a couple of months and was wondering if someone can recommend a Konyoku onsen near Tokyo. I have done quite a bit of reading and to be honest it is very confusing. Anywhere I can take a day trip and return back to Tokyo at a reasonable evening time. I prefer a onsen that you don't wear a swim suit. Nothing lude just want to experience the real thing. Hopefully I won't get burned for putting this into this category. Thanks in advance. I will also be in Osaka and Kyoto during the trip if you have other suggestions. Looking forward to trying out the soaplands.

Fabulous post. Booking my ticket now.

Are you supposed to tip the girls or not?

Also, is it common to get the girl's number to have a one to one session separate from the club?

Don't tip the girls. You can buy them a girl's drink. That's basically the system. Some girls don't even ask for a drink but if things are going well most will. Some people do, some people don't.

At every club I went it is common to exchange contact info, however you should not assume it is to meet. It is mostly a waste of time, to give an illusion of intimacy. I only find it useful to get contact if I want to know a girl's schedule, since most girls don't work every day or consistently. This is an oppai pub, the girls you meet here are generally not going to meet you outside the club. I'm sure a couple do, but I would not count on it. The main purpose is so they can ask you back to the club.

In my opinion, save your money and just see her again a the club. If you are thinking of offering an extra high rate to take a girl out, well that's exactly what you're not supposed to do. There's a good chance it'll be a no, then it's awkward and you never see her again even though you like her. Don't fall in love either. You do not get your money's worth in those situations, though I'm sure many people believe they do at first.

I'm sure you must have some basic Japanese, the more the better. Stick to Luxe if you are just starting out, they are used to it.

There are places you can bang jgirls much better. Like the USA of all places. It's complicated why but the jgirls in the US are now mostly early 20s or ex JAV. Ever since the yen crash. See USAG where I also post (this is the USA sister site of this website).

Is the girl giving rimming standard in the service offerings for the Amateur escorts (or for that matter other escorts)? If not, what option would you recommend for this please, as this is my favourite "hobby"?

This is a detailed perspective to help newbie mongers like me. Skip to the middle for just the mongering stuff.

Getting cash: Japan is surprisingly still cash heavy. As a foreigner you need considerable amount of cash for daily transactions such as taxi, public transport (bus / subway), many local restaurants, vending machines, some stores, etc. This is because foreign (sometimes any) credit cards are not accepted in such places. Also, most Japanese bank ATMs will not recognize foreign MC / Visa despite the logos stamped on them. After googling, I found that the good old American 7-11 (aka '7-Bank') is by far the best (cheapest and accessible) way to get cash with a foreign card. There is a 7-11 or two, or three at every corner, and their ATMs only charge a flat 220 yen (less than $1. 50) for any withdrawal above 10,000 yen (up to what your card / bank will allow).

Local transport: Extremely convenient via the most extensive (and busiest) subway system I have encountered, super easy to get to any mongering corner of the city. Make sure you purchase a Suica / Pasmo card which you can top up as needed for local transport within any city. However, only cash works for both purchase and top up for foreigners. Only the bullet train ticket counter accepted my foreign CC.

Hobby: I was very skeptical following countless reports that suggest major aversion to foreigners in Japan. Most experiences reported here (outright rejections, hefty foreigner 'tax') were not reassuring. However, Japan is far and expensive to get to, so I was determined to make the best of a bad situation. No way I was going home empty handed. I am not into street walkers or night clubs, I prefer established incalls or outcall. My experience in Tokyo is restricted to such, but I did venture into RLDs at night just for the fun. Incredibly clean and organized (like everything in Japan), the walk of shame you would feel elsewhere never kicks in.

Hentai-Tokyo was my original target based on insights from this forum, but as I was browsing for intel, I came across an ad for Tokyo Amateur Escorts (https://amateurtokyo.com/), with a pricing structure that seemed more attractive, but no mention or reviews anywhere. I decided to pay them a visit and take one for the team if needed. They claim to only host Japanese girls, all under 25. Their website has very clear directions to their office near Shibuya subway station, but Google map will also take you there. The owner and his staff speak a bit of English, so easy to communicate. When I arrived the first time in late afternoon only 3 ladies were available despite lots listed on the website. All looked hot though. Another cause for concern is that when I made my choice, the owner shook his head and said 'no good', and suggested that I pick from the other 2, with a clear preference for one of them. My experiences with house recommendations around the world have been abysmal at best, so I was rather skeptical but did not wish to be impolite. Japanese are polite to a fault, so you feel a natural obligation to reciprocate. It was taking one for the team time.

Prices on their website are accurate, I opted for 65 min /21 k yen. Just remember you have to pay additional 2 k admission fee and another 2 k selection fee, whatever those mean. I guess it is a way for the house to make base revenue they don't have to split with the provider. After the (forced) 'selection' I was given a piece of paper (in Japanese) to take next door to the love motel (I think Onyx is the name), where I had to pay for the room separately. They had options for 60 min to 4 hours, I chose 90 min, paid (about 3 k) and got my key. They used the piece of paper I was given to coordinate the room number with the agency so the lady knows where to find me. Other agencies I visited (including Tokyo-Hentai) do it differently, the lady either meets you at the office or at a predetermined location near the office and you walk together (holding hands) to their default love motel. I guess this is part of the 'girlfriend experience'.

Anyway, back to the virgin experience. The room was small but clean and had all the essentials, a large screen TV, a toilet, a shower with bathtub, air conditioning (all 6 rooms I sessioned in at the Onyx were similar). The lady (going by Manami, https://amateurtokyo.com/%e6%a3%ae%e...1%aa%e3%81%bf/) knocked on the door after about 5 min. Young, hot, slender but shapely (feminine), tallish (about 5'6" almost modelesque. Spoke zero English, but very friendly personality and playful demeanor. My original skepticism began to melt instantly.

After a brief google translate chit chat, she prepared two cups of mouthwash and gave me one. We gargled and then she took me to the shower and washed me front and back, lingering as needed on the essentials. These women know how to take care of their men. The GFE that followed was top shelf, inexperience mixed with innocence that made the experience feel very genuine and sensual, my style exactly. The lady also thoroughly enjoys what she does and delivered one of the best experiences I have had to date, and the best on this trip. She is the only one I repeated with despite so many options I wanted to sample. The house got it right this time, and their subsequent recommendations were spot on!

My other experiences were variations of above. Only one lady seemed to do it as a job and I would never repeat with. The rest brought their 'A' game and delivered at a high level, like they really enjoyed what they do. Most of the ladies were also surprisingly true to age and appearance, especially Tokyo Amateur. Hentai ladies tended to be older than their posted photos / ages, but not by abnormal margins. I used them mostly in Osaka.

My average per session damage at Tokyo amateur was 28 K including room cost (about USD 180 at going exchange rate), and it was my favorite agency for various reasons. No attempt at upsell (Hentai especially liked annoying upsell), one simple price for all ladies, most accurate age / pic match, and best performance-price ratio (excellent based on the service I got). You can also book with them via whatsapp, where they send you pics of ladies available at your preferred time slot, and even make recommendations based on your prior choices or preference.

About Japanese women: Almost the opposite of what I was led to believe from reading numerous posts / blogs. I personally found them to be the most open-minded providers I have encountered anywhere in the world both in and out of the bedroom, by quite some margin. Brazilian women come a distant second in this regard. In terms of performance, the high level of A game they bring to the hobby is comparable only to the Brazilian women. While Brazilian women beat them in passion and PSE, they win hands down in overall GFE and sensuality.

About 6 out of 10 women I sessioned with insisted on walking me to either the main street or all the way to the subway (5 to 10 min walk) after the session, hand in hand. Talk about GFE! This was the case in both Tokyo and Osaka (yes, I sessioned there too), so it was apparently not a unique phenomenon. And I am as far removed from Japanese-looking as can be.

Useful tip: Do not pay for any upsell hoping to get better service. Let things flow organically in the room with the lady. Most of them won't disappoint you if you do your homework.

I wish Japan wasn't so damn expensive to travel to and board in. This would have been my favorite mongering destination in addition to Brazil.

Happy mongering my friends!

Hi, I've been going Japan 20 for years, my account is actually that old but haven't logged in much. It's time to give back. I will write about oppai pubs first, but not sure how much interest there is so will keep it brief to start.

Shinjuku has the most and best oppai pubs. Translated "breast club", it is typically all-you-can-drink where girls come and sit and chat and you can kiss them or suck on their tits. Ask them to hop on. Other guys around are doing the same, it is semi-private. There are extra charges if you want to buy the girl a drink. The most common rate is for 40 minutes of drinking where 3 girls visit you, so maybe 10 minutes per girl. A typical "promo" rate is 8000 yen for that, discounted to 6000 yen if it is early (8/10pm). So I can have 1-3 beers at a fixed price, obviously the draw is the girl. The system is in contrast to kabakura clubs where you don't touch the girls and you might get 60 minutes for 4000 with 2 girls (cheaper and longer, but no touch just talk).

[Banana Boi]

But in Shinjuku try Soapland MAX. Bit hard to find by googling, but its gajin friendly and is like 32 k460.

Since I just walked by the one in Asakusa I figured I'd take a photo. It's right outside the Tsukuba Express Asakusa station (not the main Asakusa station everyone goes to).

Seems much cheaper than Shinjuku prices. In Asakusa's Max it's 14,000 yen for 40 minutes. Can't tell you about girl quality between the 2 locations but it's foreigner friendly per the sign.
