Field reports and reviews from across Tokyo's adult-entertainment scene — Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Gotanda, Yoshiwara and beyond. Delivery health, soaplands and men's esthetic, walked and tested by Elon.
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.
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.
Beginners do well in Ikebukuro and Shinjuku for sheer choice. For soaplands, Yoshiwara and Kawasaki; for men's esthetic, Gotanda and Shibuya.
