～あげは～ — Ageha runs on Cityheaven as デリヘル(人妻/大塚): a delivery health shop, hitozuma specialty, filed under Otsuka. The breadcrumb reads 大塚・巣鴨・駒込・赤羽デリヘル › 大塚デリヘル, the shop bills itself as 巣鴨・大塚発, and the dispatch page gives the base as 東京都豊島区巣鴨 — Sugamo, in Toshima ward. Phone is 03-5907-4919. Hours run 10:00～翌5:00, ten in the morning to five the next morning, with 電話受付9:00～, phones live from nine. There's an official site at wbc2008.com.
The banner across the top of the page says 老舗ならではの安定した高品質なサービス — the steady, high-grade service only a long-established house can give you. Every shop says a version of that. What caught my attention is that in this particular case the shift board mostly backs it up, and I'll get to why.
First, though, the price sheet, because this shop publishes one of the cleanest pieces of pricing arithmetic I've run into in Tokyo — and then appears to spend its entire marketing budget arguing against it.
The Ladder Is a Straight Line
The 料金システム page doesn't use a table. It's a single JPEG, which is normal for this corner of the industry and usually a bad sign: an image is where numbers go to avoid being compared. Here's everything on it, transcribed. All figures 税込み — tax included.
| Course | Price | Per minute |
|---|---|---|
| 50 min | ¥17,000 | ¥340.00 |
| 70 min | ¥21,000 | ¥300.00 |
| 100 min | ¥26,000 | ¥260.00 |
| 130 min | ¥31,000 | ¥238.46 |
| 160 min | ¥36,000 | ¥225.00 |
| 指名料 — nomination | ¥0 | — |
| 交通費 — Sugamo / Otsuka / Ikebukuro / Uguisudani | ¥0 | — |
| パンスト・ローター・ランジェリー・ガーター | ¥0 | — |
| バイブ | ¥2,000 | — |
Two footnotes on the image: ※その他ロングコースはお問い合わせ下さい — other long courses on request — and ※領収書発行可能, receipts issued. I'll come back to both.
Now stop looking at the rungs and look at the gaps between them:
| Step | Extra time | Extra cost | Rate on the added minutes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 → 70 | +20 min | +¥4,000 | ¥200.00/min |
| 70 → 100 | +30 min | +¥5,000 | ¥166.67/min |
| 100 → 130 | +30 min | +¥5,000 | ¥166.67/min |
| 130 → 160 | +30 min | +¥5,000 | ¥166.67/min |
From seventy minutes upward this isn't approximately linear, it's exactly linear. Every additional half hour costs precisely ¥5,000, four rungs running, no rounding, no drift. Fit a line through the 70, 100, 130 and 160 prices and you get a fixed component of roughly ¥9,333 plus ¥166.67 a minute, with a residual of zero at all four points. Somebody built this sheet with an actual formula, and then didn't fudge it.
Put the formula into hours, which is how people actually think about time:
- The opening block — 50 minutes at ¥17,000 — runs at ¥20,400 an hour.
- The 70-minute course runs at ¥18,000 an hour.
- Every hour you add beyond that costs ¥10,000.
Once you're past the seventy-minute mark, the clock costs you just under half what it cost at the door. That's a wholesaler's sheet. It is telling you, in the plainest arithmetic available, that this shop would rather sell one long booking than three short ones, and that it will pay you to cooperate.
What Got Printed on Top of It
There are two coupons on the クーポン page. Both are first-timer only, which matters enormously and I'll come back to it. They are not presented as equals: one is the shop's whole front-of-house pitch, repeated on the top page, on the event page, and on the scrolling status banner beside every waiting woman. The other sits underneath it looking like an afterthought.
Coupon A — 「ご新規様限定 60分18000円」. Live since 2025/04/30, marked 無期限, no end date. Cityheaven prints it at 10% OFF. The terms:
『シティヘブン』をご覧のご新規様 / 60分 ⇒ ￥18,000 / 80分 ⇒ ￥22,000 / (入会金・ネット指名 無料) / ※番号通知のみ承ります※
Membership and net-nomination are ¥0, you say you saw it on Cityheaven when you call, and — this condition is repeated on the event page in bold — you must call with your caller ID visible. 番号通知のみ承ります. Withhold your number and the offer doesn't apply. The shop's イベント page carries the identical 60分￥18,000 / 80分￥22,000 offer under the same 番号通知 condition.
Coupon B — 「○新規様限定割引イベント実施中♪○」. Live since 2025/01/10, also 無期限. Cityheaven prints it at 8% OFF. The terms are one line: 100分コース以上全て 2000円割引 — ¥2,000 off every course of 100 minutes or more. The worked example on the page is 100分 ¥26,000 → ¥24,000.
Hold those two side by side.
Coupon A is labelled 10%. Coupon B is labelled 8%. They are both ¥2,000. The percentage is nothing but ¥2,000 divided by whatever base it's sitting on, and the base is smaller on Coupon A, so the number looks bigger. Run the same ¥2,000 down the actual price sheet and you can watch the headline shrink while the deal itself gets better:
| Course | List | ¥2,000 off is… |
|---|---|---|
| 100 min | ¥26,000 | 7.7% — the shop rounds this to 8% |
| 130 min | ¥31,000 | 6.5% |
| 160 min | ¥36,000 | 5.6% |
The percentage runs backwards from the value. The biggest-looking discount at this shop is attached to its smallest, worst-rate product.
And there's a second thing about Coupon A that took me a minute to notice. Its struck-through "normal" price is 60分 ¥20,000. Go back to the price sheet. There is no sixty-minute course. The ladder runs 50, 70, 100, 130, 160 — sixty minutes isn't on it. So the number Coupon A is discounting from appears nowhere else on the entire listing. For what it's worth, the shop's own ladder implies something lower: the 50→70 step runs at ¥200 a minute, which would put a 60-minute course at ¥19,000, a thousand yen under the figure being crossed out. That's an inference from their arithmetic rather than a published price, so take it as such — but the ¥20,000 isn't published either, and Coupon B's struck-through ¥26,000 for 100 minutes matches the sheet exactly. One of these two coupons is measuring itself against a real price.
While we're auditing signage: the marquee that scrolls beside every waiting woman on the top page, seven times over, reads ☆ご新規様最大5000円引き♪☆ — up to ¥5,000 off for new customers. I went through the coupon page, the event page and the price image looking for ¥5,000. The largest discount published anywhere on this listing is ¥2,000. I can't tell you the ¥5,000 doesn't exist — it may be something the phone staff can do, and 「その他ロングコースはお問い合わせ下さい」 suggests there's menu that isn't on the sheet. I can tell you it isn't written down. That's a question for 03-5907-4919 before you book, not a surprise to discover at the end.
The Only ¥2,000 You Will Ever Get Here
Here's the part that turns all of the above from trivia into money. Both coupons are first-visit-only. Coupon A says ご新規様; Coupon B says 初めて【あげは】をご利用のお客様限定. One first visit, one course, one discount. You do not get to use both, and you do not get a second bite.
So the real question isn't "which coupon is bigger." It's where do I spend my one and only ¥2,000 — and the answer is: on the rung where the underlying rate is already lowest, because the discount and the bulk curve stack.
Every first-timer option at this shop, priced out:
| First-visit option | Price | Per minute |
|---|---|---|
| Coupon A — 60 min | ¥18,000 | ¥300.00 |
| Coupon A — 80 min | ¥22,000 | ¥275.00 |
| Coupon B — 100 min | ¥24,000 | ¥240.00 |
| Coupon B — 130 min | ¥29,000 | ¥223.08 |
| Coupon B — 160 min | ¥34,000 | ¥212.50 |
Three things fall out of that table.
One. Coupon A's flagship 60-minute deal comes to ¥300.00 a minute — which is, to the yen, the per-minute rate of the 70-minute course at full list price, ¥21,000 ÷ 70 = ¥300.00. The shop's loudest offer, the one on the banner and the event page and the front of the coupon list, delivers a rate you can get any afternoon of the week by walking in with no coupon at all and asking for the 70. You'd pay ¥3,000 more and get ten more minutes at exactly the same rate. The 10% is real money off a number, and it buys you nothing whatsoever in rate terms.
Two. The cheapest twenty minutes available at this shop are the ones between Coupon A's 80 and Coupon B's 100. ¥22,000 to ¥24,000: ¥2,000 for twenty additional minutes, ¥100 a minute. That's below the ¥166.67 marginal rate on the list ladder and less than a third of the ¥340 you're paying in the opening block. If you have talked yourself into the 80 and you are wavering about the 100, that decision is the best-priced thing on the entire sheet.
Three. Coupon B at 160 minutes lands at ¥212.50 a minute, ¥12,750 an hour — the cheapest minute obtainable at Ageha under any circumstances, first visit or hundredth.
The spread between the loud coupon and the quiet one, taken at their best: ¥18,000 for 60 minutes versus ¥34,000 for 160. That's ¥16,000 for a hundred extra minutes, ¥160 a minute — under half the rate the 60-minute course charges you. The shop's front page is steering first-timers toward the single worst-value product it sells, and the better instruction is four words long and printed in small type on the second coupon.
So I Counted the Shift Board
A bulk discount is only worth taking if you can actually buy in bulk, and there are two ways a deriheru quietly makes that impossible: the woman you want isn't working, or she's working but her shift ends before your course would. The 出勤 page publishes seven days forward, with start and end times on every entry, so both are checkable.
I took the whole published week — 9/14 Monday through 9/20 Sunday, 88 shift slots, 27 distinct women — and counted, for every hour the shop is open, how many are on the clock and how many have enough shift remaining to take a 160-minute booking starting then.
| Hour | Avg. on shift | Avg. who could start a 160 | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10:00 | 1.29 | 1.29 | 100% |
| 11:00 | 3.86 | 3.86 | 100% |
| 12:00 | 5.71 | 5.71 | 100% |
| 13:00 | 7.00 | 6.86 | 98% |
| 14:00 | 7.57 | 7.00 | 92% |
| 15:00 | 7.57 | 4.86 | 64% |
| 16:00 | 7.86 | 2.57 | 33% |
| 17:00 | 6.14 | 1.14 | 19% |
| 18:00 | 2.71 | 1.00 | 37% |
| 19:00 | 1.57 | 0.86 | 55% |
| 20:00 | 1.86 | 1.14 | 61% |
| 21:00 | 3.86 | 3.00 | 78% |
| 22:00 | 4.29 | 3.14 | 73% |
| 23:00 | 3.57 | 3.14 | 88% |
| 00:00 | 3.14 | 3.14 | 100% |
| 01:00 | 3.14 | 3.00 | 96% |
| 02:00 | 3.14 | 2.71 | 86% |
| 03:00 | 3.00 | 0.00 | 0% |
| 04:00 | 2.71 | 0.00 | 0% |
Per-day shift counts, so anyone can check my arithmetic: Monday 13, Tuesday 15, Wednesday 12, Thursday 12, Friday 17, Saturday 13, Sunday 6. The Sunday figure is the far edge of the seven-day window and is almost certainly still filling in — I wouldn't read it as a real Sunday.
One caveat on the right-hand column before anyone takes it literally. I'm counting published shift end times against the clock, which is an upper bound: a real booking needs dispatch and travel on top, so the practical cutoff is earlier than the arithmetic one. Treat the column as a ranking of hours, not a booking guarantee.
The shop's busiest hour is 16:00. The best hour to buy its best-value course is 14:00. At two in the afternoon you get a near-peak floor of 7.57 and essentially all of it — 7.00 — can still take a 160-minute course. Two hours later the floor is fractionally larger, 7.86, and two-thirds of it has evaporated as far as the long course is concerned: 2.57 women can host it. By five o'clock, with six people still on the clock, you're down to roughly one.
The mechanism is in the end-time histogram, and it's blunt: 22 of the 88 shifts end at 18:00 and another 13 end at 17:00. Thirty-five of eighty-eight shifts — 40% of the week — clock off in that two-hour band. A woman finishing at 18:00 stops being available for a 160-minute booking at 15:20, while still appearing on the board, still showing as 待機中, still perfectly bookable for the 50 or the 70. The shift page doesn't lie about anything. It just doesn't do this subtraction for you.
Two Shops Wearing One Name
The start-time histogram tells the other half of the story. Shifts begin in two clumps and almost nowhere else: 36 of 88 start between 10:00 and 11:30, and 18 of 88 start at exactly 21:00 — the single most common start time on the board. Fifty-three shifts end at or before 20:00; twenty-eight begin at 18:00 or later; seven straddle.
That's not one roster with a slow patch. That's a day shop and a night shop sharing a phone number, and the seam between them is visible from orbit:
- 16:00 — 7.86 on shift. Peak.
- 19:00 — 1.57 on shift. An 80% collapse in three hours.
- 22:00 — 4.29 on shift. Rebuilt, out of an almost entirely different set of women.
Seven in the evening is the emptiest hour Ageha keeps its doors open, and it happens to be the hour most people in Tokyo are free. On the published week, 19:00 averages fewer women than 11:00 in the morning. If you're planning around after-work, you are aiming at the one gap in the schedule.
The last two hours have a different problem, and it's a clean one to state. Shifts end at 5:00 — 19 of them do, the most common end time on the board. So at 03:00 there are still three women working and not one of them can take a 160-minute course; the most you can buy is the 100. By 04:00, with 2.71 still on the clock, the 100 is gone too, and so is the 70. In the final hour of the night this shop sells exactly one product — the 50-minute course at ¥17,000 — which is the most expensive minute on the entire sheet, ¥340. The menu narrows as the night runs out, and it narrows from the good end.
The Roster Is Old, and That's the Point
I've been picking at the marketing, so let me be equally direct about where this shop delivers something most of its competitors can't.
The cast page lists 43 women. Ages run 27 to 42, mean 35.5, median 36. Three are under thirty. Thirty-two are in their thirties. Eight are forty or over.
Now the same measurement on the 27 women who actually appeared on the published week's shift board: ages 30 to 42, mean 36.2, median 36, and not one of the three under-thirties worked a single one of the 88 shifts. The concept — 大人の女性のみを厳選した人妻専門, adults only, married-women specialty — holds up harder in practice than it does on the roster page. That is the opposite of the usual direction of travel, and I don't get to write that sentence often.
The 新人 tab, meanwhile, reads 新人(0). No new arrivals listed. Zero.
For a certain kind of shop that would be a warning sign. Here it's the load-bearing feature, because it's what makes the bulk discount rational instead of reckless. The argument for the 160-minute course rests entirely on the assumption that you'll still want to be there at minute 130 — and that's a bet you can only make if you were able to do homework first. At a shop churning eight new names a month you're buying from a photograph and a stat line. At Ageha the same women are on the board this week that were on it last week, there are 59 reviews filed across six pages, and the women you'd actually be choosing between have histories you can read.
The review board is worth a straight look, good and bad. The ten most recent carry ratings from 3.9 to 5.0, averaging 4.74 — high, though every shop's review page is high and I don't weight that much. More useful: those ten span visit dates from 2025/08/16 to 2026/06/28, which is roughly one review a month, and the newest one on the board is dated 2026/06/28 — about two and a half months before I'm writing this. Fifty-nine reviews is a real corpus; a quiet summer is a quiet summer. Just don't mistake the volume here for the firehose you get at a big Ikebukuro house.
Also worth noting, since it bears directly on the thesis: the review the shop pins to the top of that page is from a first-time customer who booked the 160-minute course, having read the woman's 写メ日記 beforehand to decide. Whether or not that's a representative sample, it's the shop's own idea of its best advertisement — and the behaviour it depicts is precisely the one the front-page coupon steers you away from.
Two Numbers That Aren't on the Sheet
Before the verdict, the small print I'd want settled on the phone.
Transport. The price image says 交通費無料 for Sugamo, Otsuka, Ikebukuro and Uguisudani — four areas, free, stated plainly. The dispatch page says something broader and vaguer: 巣鴨発～都内２３区 ※交通費についてはお問合せ下さい — out of Sugamo to all twenty-three wards, ask us about transport. So the coverage is city-wide and the price is published for four areas out of twenty-three. In the four named ones this is genuinely all-in: course price, no nomination fee, no membership, no transport, and five of the six options free. Outside them, transport is the one number on this entire listing that has no figure attached to it. If you're in Shinjuku or Ueno, get that quoted before you agree to anything, because it's the only line item that can move after you've committed.
Receipts. 領収書発行可能 — receipts issued on request, printed right on the price image. Small line, easy to skip, and more useful than it looks to anyone who needs the paperwork to exist.
The Verdict
- Price sheet quality: ★★★★★ — tax-inclusive, formula-clean, exactly linear from 70 minutes up, nomination free, membership free, five options free, receipts available. The fixed-plus-variable structure is visible right through the paint. I have almost nothing bad to say about this document.
- Price signage: ★★☆☆☆ — a different question. The loudest coupon is 10% off a course that isn't on the price sheet, discounted from a number that appears nowhere else, and it lands at the exact per-minute rate of a full-price course. The banner says up to ¥5,000 and the largest published discount is ¥2,000. Nothing here is false. It's all pointed the wrong way.
- Value at the right rung: ★★★★☆ — ¥34,000 for 160 minutes on the first visit, ¥212.50 a minute, everything included inside the four free-transport areas. That is a strong number for Toshima and it is the reason to come.
- Value at the wrong rung: ★★☆☆☆ — ¥17,000 for 50 minutes is ¥340 a minute, sixty percent above the best rate in the building, and after three in the morning it's the only thing you can buy.
- Roster depth: ★★★☆☆ — 43 listed, 27 worked the published week, 12 to 17 a day Monday through Saturday. Solid. But the floor swings from 7.86 at four in the afternoon to 1.57 at seven in the evening, and those are effectively two different businesses.
- Concept honesty: ★★★★★ — 人妻専門 with a mean age of 36.2 across everyone who actually worked, nobody under thirty on any of the 88 shifts, and no new-arrival churn. The copy says 老舗 and the shift board agrees with the copy.
- Researchability: ★★★★☆ — 新人(0), a stable cast, 59 reviews, active 写メ日記. You can do genuine homework before you book, which is the whole precondition for buying a long course.
- Going back: ○ — at 13:00–14:00 on a weekday, with the 160 booked ahead, inside the free-transport ring. Not at 19:00, and not at 4am.
The read I'd give a friend standing outside the Sugamo ticket gates: this is a shop that prices like a wholesaler and advertises like a bodega, and you get to decide which one you deal with. The ladder is honest, the discount structure is honest, the concept is honest, and the arithmetic is sitting right there on a JPEG waiting for anyone to do four divisions on it. But the front page is built to sell a sixty-minute course that doesn't exist on the price sheet, at a rate you could get without a coupon, during the hours when the long course you actually want has quietly stopped being available.
So don't take the offer that's shouting. Call before two in the afternoon, ask for a hundred and sixty minutes, mention the ¥2,000 first-visit discount off the 100-plus courses, confirm the transport if you're outside Sugamo, Otsuka, Ikebukuro or Uguisudani — and ask what the ¥5,000 on the banner is, because I couldn't find it. That's ¥34,000 against the ¥18,000 the front page wants you to spend, and you will be paying ¥87.50 less per minute for the privilege.
A price sheet that gets cheaper the longer you stay is a shop telling you what it wants to sell. The coupon on the front page is a shop telling you what's easy to sell. When those disagree, the sheet is the one that had to be costed. First booking logged.
