Ranunculus, Roppongi: The Price Sheet Is an Image, the Cheapest Course Expires After One Visit, and One Line of English Prices Your Japanese

A Roppongi field report on Ranunculus, a high-class deriheru whose entire price sheet is a single unsearchable PNG — and what the numbers say once you transcribe it: four rank tiers of which the top one has no price at all, a cheapest-course rung marked first-visit-only so your second booking starts 29% higher, a per-minute rate that is flat to the yen past 90 minutes, extensions priced 20-33% above the course they extend, an open-ended transport charge triggered by when your booking ends rather than when it starts, and a single sentence of English that quietly makes your Japanese a pricing tier.

Semezuki Chijo no Inran Esute Amaltia, Uguisudani: Zero Coupons, a Ladder Pinned at 220 Yen a Minute, and the Rung the Board Doesn't Point At

A Uguisudani field report on Semezuki Chijo no Inran Esute Amaltia, an M-seikan house that runs no coupons at all and publishes every yen it charges — and what the arithmetic shows once you chart it: a course ladder stuck near 220 yen a minute however long you buy, a 90-minute rung that quietly beats every rung above it, a marginal half-hour from 90 to 120 that costs more per minute than the step before it, and a transport table filing six wards in two bands and Edogawa in two with no qualifier.

New Hime Koshitsu Sauna, Shinjuku: A ¥24,000 Soapland Filed Under 'Bargain', and the Four Hours a Week Its Price Sheet Changes

A Shinjuku field report on New Hime Koshitsu Sauna, a sixth-floor soapland that Cityheaven files under 'bargain' at ¥24,000 for 70 minutes — carrying two separate price sheets, the cheaper of which exists for exactly four hours a week, hands back a flat ¥3,000 that never touches the last twenty minutes, doubles the fee for asking again, and opens an hour before the phone line that books it.

Hajimete no Taiken Nyuten, Ikebukuro: The Deriheru That Won't Print a Price, Hires Only Beginners, and Buys Its Own Reviews

An Ikebukuro field report on Hajimete no Taiken Nyuten, a 24-hour outcall shop that opened today with a price section reading only 'call us' — a single 39%-off coupon discounting a list price published nowhere, five more coupons with no terms attached, a roster built entirely from women on their first shifts, and a free hour on offer for anyone who posts a review.

Tachikawa Seifuku Collection: The Costumes Are Free, the Meter Is ¥275 a Minute, and the Coupons Are Written in a Different Language

A Tachikawa hotel-health field report on Seifuku Collection — a shop whose name sells costumes and whose banner sells inexperience, whose 60-plus outfits cost nothing, and whose official price list is denominated entirely in ¥1,100 bricks worth exactly four minutes on a meter that runs ¥275 a minute through zero. Then the coupon sheet shows up speaking round thousands, and the cheapest minute in the building turns out to sit in a cell the main grid never mentions.

Kimi wo Nametakute Gakuen Shinjuku: The Flat ¥333-a-Minute Meter and the Tax on Deciding Late

A field report on Kimi wo Nametakute Gakuen Shinjuku-ko, a Shin-Okubo outcall delivery health, read entirely off its own price table: a base rate that runs cheapest for the first 75 minutes and then flattens to ¥333 a minute, upgrade tiers priced as fixed door fees rather than hourly rates, a ¥12,000 half-hour extension that quietly costs 20% more than booking long up front, and a repeat-designation fee that runs higher than a first-look one.

Hachioji Deriheru 'Denwa Ippon': Five Classes, One Meter, and Everything Converges on ¥200 a Minute

A Hachioji field report on Denwa Ippon de Marumaru ga Yattekuru, a five-class outcall whose entire thirty-cell price grid runs on one flat ¥200-a-minute meter: class tiers priced as a fixed ¥2,000-per-rung door fee that matters less the longer you book, a transport ladder that doubles as a map of the city, and a ¥8,000 extension that costs exactly one rung more than deciding early.

Uguisudani Milk Land: A Thirty-Year Specialist That Prints 'No Foreign Customers' — and Three Price Boards Behind the Door

A desk-level read on Uguisudani Milk Land, a thirty-year specialty deriheru that states in print it does not accept foreign customers — and, behind that line, runs three separate price boards where the two specialty ladders charge more per minute for the middle courses than the extension rate does, and the evening tier that costs extra has nobody rostered on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do prices run in Tokyo?

Delivery health typically runs ¥15,000–28,000 for 60 minutes, soaplands ¥30,000–80,000, and men's esthetic ¥13,000–25,000. It swings hard by area and shop.

First time with a Tokyo delivery-health shop — what matters?

Pick a shop whose phone desk is sharp and specific. Fair pricing and a desk that actually knows who's working that day rarely steers you wrong.

Best Tokyo areas to start in?

Beginners do well in Ikebukuro and Shinjuku for sheer choice. For soaplands, Yoshiwara and Kawasaki; for men's esthetic, Gotanda and Shibuya.
