Kichijoji Kadoebi: A Weeknight Soapland Three Minutes From the South Exit, at ¥21,000 for 60 Minutes on a Card

Kichijoji is the Tokyo neighborhood people move to for the park and the coffee, not the nightlife. A New Yorker tries the Kadoebi Group soap three minutes from the south exit on a weeknight: ¥21,000 all-in for 60 minutes, cards with no fee, a ¥1,000 web designation, and a roster whose evening shift ends earlier than the shop does.

Caesars Palace Yoshiwara: The Free Entry Fee, the Bonus 20 Minutes, and Why 130 Minutes Is the Cheap Option

A Wednesday-afternoon first visit to Caesars Palace, a Yoshiwara soapland built around assertive 'chijo' companions: the entry fee is waived and 20 minutes are thrown in, so the 130-minute course at ¥38,500 is the cheapest per minute on the menu, with the shuttle from Minowa and web booking up to 15 days out doing the rest.

Lions Club (ライオンズクラブ) is a Yoshiwara high-class soap open for over 30 years. I read its official price board, booking rules and free pickup points so a first-timer knows what the ¥32,400 headline does and doesn't cover.

Moulin Rouge Yoshiwara: One 120-Minute Course, ¥67,500, and the Free-vs-Nominate Math Before 11 a.m.

Moulin Rouge is an old-school high-class soapland in Yoshiwara with a single 120-minute course at ¥67,500 all-in. I read its official board, its Cityheaven coupons and its fuzoku.jp listing to work out when going 'free' beats nominating, why the 11 a.m. cutoff is worth ¥10,000, and how booking and the shuttle actually work.

Quality Yoshiwara: Pricing Out a Weekday-Morning Soapland Run Before I Dial

Quality is a budget soapland in Yoshiwara, open 8 a.m. to midnight, that hires only women in their twenties and starts at ¥19,000 for 50 minutes. Before booking a weekday-morning slot I read its official board, its event page and its Cityheaven listing, then worked out which nomination is free, what the +¥1,000 'High Quality' badge costs, and how the point caps work.

Rocket Wife Yoshiwara: The Casual Soapland That Prints Real Ages

Rocket Wife is a casual hitozuma soapland in Yoshiwara that starts at about ¥15,000 for 50 minutes, says it has dropped fake 'Yoshiwara ages', and sells a 'barge-in' double course. I read its Cityheaven and fuzoku.jp pages on a Tuesday and worked out the real price ladder, the ¥1,000 mismatches, and how its two point cards actually pay out.

NEO TOKYO is a luxury Yoshiwara soapland selling 120 minutes for an all-in ¥65,000 (listed regular ¥80,000) with every nomination fee included.

First Lady is a budget Yoshiwara soapland that opens at 7 a.m. (6 a.m. on weekends).
