Tachikawa is forty minutes west of Shinjuku on the Chuo line and about forty years away in temperament. Wide streets, a station that isn't trying to swallow you, department stores that close at a civilized hour, and underneath all that the ordinary commercial machinery every real Japanese town runs — including a delivery health market that serves locals rather than tourists. That's the interesting part. Nobody takes the Chuo line out to Tachikawa for the nightlife. Shops here survive on repeat customers who live twenty minutes away, and repeat customers are the harshest auditors in the business.
So I called Jukujo no Fuuzoku Saishuushou — deriheru, meaning delivery health: the girl comes to your hotel room, the shop never has a storefront you walk into. Mature-women concept. Phone number 042-512-5095, printed plainly, which in this business is its own small signal of a shop that answers it.
The pitch is a filter, not a slogan
Most shops open with a fantasy. This one opens with a door policy: not interested in young women — if you've got time to sit around talking. That's the header, and it's doing real work. It's telling a specific customer this is not his shop. No conversation warm-up, no personality package, no getting-to-know-you. The menu backs it up — the service list leads with instant-start items, the ones that skip the preamble entirely.
I have a lot of respect for that, and not because I'm in a hurry. A shop that narrows its own audience on the front page is a shop that knows what it does well. The ones that promise everything to everyone are the ones that hand you a mediocre hour and a surcharge sheet. Read this header honestly: if what you actually want is company, book somewhere else and you'll both be happier.
Everything ends in ¥995
Here's the posted menu, verbatim: 60 min ¥9,995. 80 min ¥11,995. 100 min ¥14,995. 120 min ¥18,995. 160 min ¥22,995. 190 min ¥27,995. Three-hour-plus dates start at ¥30,000. New customers get a 71-minute course for ¥9,995 — same money as the standard hour, eleven extra minutes.
Registration fee: ¥0. Photo nomination: ¥0. Repeat nomination — asking for the same woman again — ¥0. Cards accepted. That's four places most shops quietly bill you and this one doesn't, and it matters more than any single course price, because nomination fees are how a cheap-looking hour turns into an expensive one the second you have a favorite.
The ¥995 thing is supermarket psychology, obviously. ¥9,995 reads as "under ten thousand" to the same part of the brain that thinks $19.99 isn't twenty dollars. Fine. I care less about the last digit than about what happens across the whole ladder.
The rung where the math turns
Run the per-minute rate down the posted menu and a shape appears:
| Course | Price | Per minute |
|---|---|---|
| 60 min | ¥9,995 | ~¥167 |
| 71 min (new customer) | ¥9,995 | ~¥141 |
| 80 min | ¥11,995 | ~¥150 |
| 100 min | ¥14,995 | ~¥150 |
| 120 min | ¥18,995 | ~¥158 |
| 160 min | ¥22,995 | ~¥144 |
| 190 min | ¥27,995 | ~¥147 |
Read it again. The rate falls from the 60, flattens dead level across the 80 and the 100 — those two are the same ¥150 a minute, to the yen — and then it goes back up at 120. One hundred twenty minutes is the only rung on this ladder where you pay more per minute than the rung below it. Then it drops again at 160, which is the cheapest per-minute course on the entire standard menu.
That's the finding. If you were reaching for the two-hour course because two hours is a round number, you're paying roughly ¥1,000 in dead premium for the privilege of a round number. Either stop at 100 and keep the same rate, or go to 160 and get the best rate on the board. The 120 is a tourist trap made of arithmetic, and it's sitting right in the middle of the menu where the eye lands first.
The coupon page, and a discrepancy worth naming
Four coupons were running. The honest summary:
The new-customer 15% turns the 60 into the 71 at ¥9,995 — that's the same offer as the menu's new-customer rung, restated. The Momiji new-customer coupon is the real one: 80 → 90 min at ¥10,995, 100 → 110 at ¥13,995, 120 → 130 at ¥17,995. Note what that first line does. Ninety minutes for ¥10,995 is more time for less money than the posted eighty at ¥11,995 — about ¥122 a minute, the cheapest number anywhere in this shop. If you're new and you're reading only one paragraph of this piece, read that one.
Then two coupons land on the identical deal from different directions: Shigure, the leave-it-to-us free plan, gives all customers 90 min at ¥11,995 with pantyhose provided; Asano gives the same 90 at ¥11,995 but demands you book online the day before with no changes and no cancellations. Same yen, same minutes. The difference is that Asano charges you in flexibility instead of money. If you're the type who cancels, that coupon costs more than it says.
Now the part I'd want told to me. The coupon page quotes its "before" prices as ¥14,995 for the 80, ¥17,995 for the 100, ¥21,995 for the 120 — each one ¥3,000 above the posted menu on the shop's own price list. So the advertised "35% OFF" is measured against a number the main page doesn't charge. The discount is still a genuine discount — ¥10,995 for 90 minutes really is less than ¥11,995 for 80 — it's just not as large as the percentage claims. Inflated strikethrough pricing is endemic in this industry and calling it out isn't an accusation, it's a reading instruction: check the coupon's landing price against the posted menu, never against the number in the strikethrough.
Hours, delivery zone, and who this is actually built for
Ten in the morning to five the next morning — a nineteen-hour operating day. Transport is free to hotels in the Tachikawa Station area, from ¥1,000 to business hotels further out, and ¥2,000 to ¥5,000 to the surrounding cities. Free delivery is a tight radius, so the value case is strongest if you're staying near the station and evaporates fast the further out you're calling from. Budget accordingly: a ¥5,000 transport fee on a ¥11,995 course is a 42% surcharge, and no coupon on the page recovers that.
A 10 a.m. open in a commuter suburb tells you the customer base plainly. This is not a shop for the post-midnight Kabukicho crowd; it's built around people whose free hours are odd — day-shift-off, between jobs, the long empty middle of a weekday. Which is exactly when the mature-women format makes most sense anyway. There's a directness to that hour of the day that suits a shop whose entire pitch is let's not pretend this is a date.

The verdict
| Item | Rating |
|---|---|
| Concept honesty (says who it isn't for) | ★★★★★ |
| Fee structure (¥0 nomination, ¥0 entry) | ★★★★★ |
| Coupon transparency | ★★★☆☆ |
| Menu ladder (the 120 penalty) | ★★★☆☆ |
| Value if you're near the station | ★★★★☆ |
| Overall | ★★★★☆ |
The concept is clean and the fee sheet is genuinely generous where it counts — a shop charging ¥0 to nominate the same woman twice has decided it wants regulars more than it wants a quick ¥2,000, and that decision shows up in how you get treated. The marks come off for two things it does with numbers rather than people: a coupon page discounting from prices its own menu doesn't charge, and a 120-minute course priced worse per minute than the courses on either side of it.
Both are avoidable with thirty seconds of arithmetic, which is the whole reason I ran it here. Go in new on the Momiji 90 at ¥10,995, stay near the station so transport stays free, and skip the two-hour rung entirely. Do that and this is a straight, unpretentious, well-priced shop that tells you upfront exactly what it is — which, in a business built on telling people what they want to hear, counts for a lot.
