Gakuensai, Ikebukuro — The School-Festival Sexy Cabaret That Opens at 1 PM, and What ¥6,000 Actually Buys at a Sekukyaba
Gakuensai is a school-festival-themed sexy cabaret (sekukyaba) two minutes from Ikebukuro's west/north exits, open 13:00 to last with a college-uniform, current-student concept. Standard is 40 minutes at ¥10,000; the new-customer coupon drops that to ¥6,000 (40% off), and a review deal folds set plus designation into a flat ¥10,000. Here's what a sekukyaba actually is versus what guys walking in expect — and the one line on the bill you have to settle before the first drink lands.
