Yokohama

[Homer69]

Can you give more details? It sounds like Harumi Dori. The big city hall building is on the left side and the Grand Hotel is right near there. How far off the main street are we talking about? There are tons of dark backstreets heading out towards the race track. I guess I just need to head out and go walking around.

On the main street perpendicular to the train line there is a place with a couple of lions out in front, as I recall. I can't remember the name, but the place looks somewhat ornate from the outside. From that corner, start walking down towards the race track as about as far as you can go. There is a place tucked in kind of a back area off the street, and it looks kind of dark. This would be on the very back street perpendicular to the train tracks. It is a soapland with very reasonable prices because it is in a bad location. One time they motioned me in, but another time they did not. The time they did, I was not so interested in the selection. As in many, if not most, places in Japan, I suppose it is hit and miss. Timing counts for a lot.

I took a walk through Kawasaki from the area near the firestation over across the main drag towards Horinouchi. I talked to countless touts using my poor Japanese but none of them would accept me. When I asked if they knew of any places that would, they mentioned the booths but that was about it. All of them were very apologetic and polite.

Has anyone (non-Japanese native) ever gotten a soapland, health or esute to service them anywhere in Kawasaki, other than in the booths in Horinouchi? The booths are nice but it seems like only the non-Japanese will offer service. I wouldn't even mind one of the older Japanese but most of them politely decline.

The only other place I know of in the Kawasaki/Yokohama area are Mermaid and the sister shops. It's a bit far to go to Tokyo sometimes and I'd rather just stay in Kanagawa if possible. I haven't tried Machida yet.

Hey! Is this Trple A place Gaijin friendly. I noticed that they have different prices in the day than the evening. I thought I saw 17K Yen for 60 minutes when I walked by in the afternoon but when I went by last night the 60 minutes as 19K Yen.

A lot of the girls working in front of that restaurant behind the FANTASY Hotel don't give that great service even though they are Thai. The best service from them were from Chan and Rose. The others I have been with a reluctant to do a lot of things and have been outright uncooperative.

Further down the street after the lady boys are a group of Colombians. One i saw that used to work the booths is that older chica named Cristina. From what I remember from the booth days is that she is really nice but doesn't perform that well and doesn't shave her underarms.

I'll be over in Yokohama for my annual trip to Japan soon. I'll probably have one free night and I'll catch the start of the Bay Stars game and then wander over to Koganecho. I haven't had time to do my homework yet but I'm hoping to find a Soapland that'll let a non-Japanese speaking Japanese-American guy in. Last time I just wandered down the street until a tout convinced me to go in and it was OK.

I'm hoping that the regular business will have picked back up when I get there, but it's 2 weeks away so I'm not going to count on it. I loved wandering that area and the alleys though the service always was average at best. Quick and cheap anyway.

Maybe it's time to start doing some Kawasaki research, something new anyway.

Anyway, any help is appreciated.

Was up there last Saturday about 2 in the afternoon, daytime trip to Triple A Soapland, and walked thru the area, great memories, but got to see how seedy it is (nothing to look at now days) saw 3 rats run across the street. Across the canel there were 2 JN streetwalkers which surprised me that early in the day, both at least 45 and a bit heavy, 15000 for an hour, don't know if that included the hotel to not. I declined, continued my journey and had a great hour at Triple A with a younger, well built lass for about the same amount of money.

Well Koganecho as we knew it boys is still heavily policed every night, the police budget must be going through the roof.

Anyway I was there Thursday night for a look see and did I seeeeee, Over the river behind Fantasy Love Hotel there must have been 8 - 10 girls and a few thai`s who are not scared of Gaijin, BUT these girls seem to have minders watching over them in a expensive white car.

Then I saw LE coming in his car well it looked like marathon day they dissappeared quick but in 10 min they were back, Price ￥15,000 + Hotel for 1 hour, seems the girls love playing cat and mouse with LE.

Further down that street there are the Lady boys there are about 5 of them but soooo easy to spot.


Well Summer is comming so things may pick up around that area soon, I`m sure the love Hotels are Happy the girls are there.

Next time I will get there a bit earlier, had not much time to monger but next time

Keep it coming fella`s,

I'm kind of surprised like Mikie that this has been going on for years and suddenly it just stops. It's totally unlike Japan to do something like this. It must have come from pressure from the puritanical west.

Any crimp in supply will probably affect prices so that aspect is very bad. But, the lingering bubble burst and deflationary climate is something keeping demand in check, too.

I think Japan has been under a lot of pressure to help stamp out human trafficing for sex purposes, and that is what is affecting the koganecho area.

Note there are tens of thousands of J-girls out there, but my guess is that prices may go up a bit if you take away a lot of the foreign labor force.

Still, there are a lot of Chinese and Koreans here on their own (not illegals smuggled in), so we can expect some non-J gals to be available.

I'm curious as to why it happened. Some bigshot politician must have caught the clap or a puritanical gaijin must have freaked. Or it could be some sort of Yakuza -- Tong turf war or something.

I mean, this has been going on for YEARS, so somebody was obviously collecting coin to turn a blind eye. What stirred up the shit, I wonder?

[Manko Hunter]

Well, I keep in contact with a few of the girls still.

Every "ethnicity" of Koganecho girl has its own support network of shop owners, restaurants, paperwork experts, lawyers, you name it. When the Koganecho shops began being raided, many of these girls (who are in the country illegally for the most part) fell back on those acquintances they had made to find a place to stay and work. This is because although they shut down their primary place of work, they still have to pay their bond to the Yakuza and other mafia types that scam these girls into coming here.

So I know one girl that talked to another friend, who knew a lady.... so on and so on. Long story short she's working for an outcall agency now, and managed to get some modelling jobs on the side. She likes it better than having to service 6-7 guys a night, since she makes more in one outcall than she did all night at the 'cho. Not to mention she gets paid well to model.

I know of a thai girl that is now working as a hostess/waitress in Yokohama. She likes the job, but doesn't make enough, she says.

So the girls have spread out. But more likely than not they're still working in an adult-related business since with their illegal status in the country they can't get legit work.

If you're looking for some short-time action, I suggest Kawasaki or Machida. Or take tat money you've saved and take a week's vacation in Thailand. That should tide you over for the next year or so! Take care fellow mongers.

Help all you Japanese mongers where would all the koganecho girls have dissappered to they just cant vanish overnight.

Where have all those cute thai girls gone.

Would like to find the little hottie who really took me to heaven have not found one who does the same yet.

Come on guy`s some of you were in contact with these girls by phone please find out if they have moved to another area?

Also there must be some people missing out on a lot of money especially the ones who built the new booths.

Please revive the old days I have cash building up to spend!!!

Also willing to hear good experences in ST places around Yokohama area.

Wow, this is very interesting news. I've never had much luck there, but I've always zeroed in on Harenchi Group places which appear to be very gaijin-unfriendly. But, they adhere to strict health inspections according to their website including bloodtests for the ladies and only having Japanese.

What's the going rate for the fashion healths you've seen?

Went down to Koganecho/Hinodecho, thinking of trying either Mermaid or Triple A Soapland. Walking thru Koganecho, which was dead, thought I'd walk over to the Fashion Healths by Isezaki Cho about 4 blocks over. Was approached by no less than 3 touts offering me entrance. I've had luck in these places before, but today was unreal. There are girls that accept gaijins, and the touts will approach you if one of those girls is working, however today was exceptional. Normally I've had the best luck getting into these places during the day, only once or twice at night, both times with the same girl. I've also been refused service when there were no girls that did gaijin, even tho' I'd been there before. Today one establishment gave me a choice of all girls that were working (when I was there a couple months ago in the evening, I was turned down). Best bet is to walk down the street and let the tout approach you, if they have girls willing to do gaijin, they'll let you know.
