Sendai Police Raided a Kokubuncho Girls Bar Before Dawn. The Charge Turns on Where the Staff Were Sitting

Miyagi Prefectural Police searched a girls bar called Diamond in Sendai's Kokubuncho district overnight on August 26, 2026, and arrested four people on suspicion of operating without a hospitality license. Investigators say the case began with complaints from customers who were overcharged while drunk, and are examining whether the proceeds reached an organized crime group.

Princess Collection (Pri-Colle), Tachikawa — Sixty Amateurs on the Roster, Ten Working Tonight

Pri-Colle bills itself as West Tokyo's amateur-only delivery service and lists sixty women. Its own seven-day shift board shows nineteen of them working, thirty-one shifts total, and ten tonight. The course ladder contains exactly one discount, the extension fee is printed twice at two different prices, and the first-visit coupon everybody notices is the worse of the two on offer. Here is what the board actually costs, verified against four customer receipts.

Honey Moon Nihonbashi — A Full-Nude 'Rejuvenation' Deriheru That Runs Until 6 A.M.

Honey Moon Nihonbashi is a delivery-health shop selling 'Healing x Pleasure = Full-Nude Rejuvenation' — aroma-massage vocabulary wrapped around an unambiguously adult service. Courses run 30 min at ¥5,000 and 60 min at ¥11,000-12,000 up to 180 at ¥26,000, with a ¥1,000 nomination fee, no entry fee, dispatch across the 23 wards plus Chiba, Saitama and Kanagawa, and a 10:00-to-6:00-a.m. clock. Here's what the healing language is really buying you, and where the two-therapist option stops making sense.

Ninth Arrest: Tokyo Police Charge 'Natural' Chairman Over the Fake Name He Signed Into a Hotel Register While Hiding

Toukadou, Akasaka — One Hour Has Five Different Prices Across This Shop's Own Pages, and the ¥1,000 Membership Fee Is Printed on Exactly One of Them

A Minato-ward sensual esthe filed under delivery health sells the identical sixty minutes for ¥10,000, ¥11,000, ¥12,000, ¥13,000 or ¥16,000 depending on which of its own pages you open. Subtract two of its coupons from each other and the transport fee it refuses to publish falls out at a flat ¥2,000. The couponed two-hour rental-room course lands on ¥150.00 a minute — exactly half the Tokyo benchmark, and cheaper per minute than the five-hour course.

Club Ten, Ikebukuro — The Shop Charges You More for Asking for the Same Woman Twice, and Its Cheapest Course Is Reserved for a Tag Nobody on the Roster Has

A self-described luxury delivery health in Ikebukuro East runs two price boards, and the second one — for customers who liked it enough to come back — is exactly ¥5,000 higher at all three lengths. Its advertised ¥20,000 entry course appears nowhere on the price list, is restricted to a cast tag that zero of the twelve listed women carry, and has been an opening-commemoration campaign for 531 days. Nothing this shop sells costs less than ¥333.33 a minute.

He Told the Touts He Wasn't Interested. Kanagawa Police Say They Beat Him Until He Needed a Month to Heal

Kanagawa police announced on August 20, 2026 the arrest of two men who worked as touts outside Honatsugi Station in Atsugi, accusing them of punching and kicking a 21-year-old university student in May after he declined their pitch. The city had expanded its anti-touting ordinance six weeks before the assault — but that ordinance caps out at a ¥50,000 administrative fine, and what finally took the two off the street was a criminal assault charge.
