Foreigner Friendly Soaplands?

Heading over for business in a few weeks. Last time I was out there (pre-covid) I remember a REALLY nice "chain" of foreigner/gaijin friendly soaplands in Tokyo. Near as I can tell, they closed their physical locations and are purely an escort service now


Found a few promising looking escort services but I really liked the "ritual" of the soapland and the sense of being pampered. Also not having to play games around whether an escort would be offended by me asking for FS, how much they want to charge extra, etc. And while I speak enough Japanese to get by, I would really rather not have to count on my ability to sound semi-coherent while there is ever decreasing blood in my brain. Although, the novelty of effectively buying a girl's time via a vending machine is entertaining.



This time I'll be in Tokyo and Kyoto, but don't mind a day trip (so long as there is something else to do in the area).



Failing that, it sounds like Paradise and THC are more or less "guaranteed" to offer FS, but the tip for taking the tip varies?


Thanks

They have a soapland in Kawasaki named "GFE Soapland" which used to be named Paradise Kawasaki? They are or were the same group of people who started THC.

Enjoy!

Oooh. I think that IS one of the ones I went to last time. Curious on the rebranding.


Thanks, ssj, you are awesome.

But it has the same issues that a lot of the review sites have (and I think it might be from the tokyo night style crew?) where it is very dependent on provider. If none of the girls on call want to service a gaijin, they won't. And you still have the language barrier outside of a limited number of providers. Which, speculation, is probably lower than it used to be since the yen is in the toilet and girls with good language skills are in high demand for the specialty shops.




--------


And just to close the loop a bit (and because I don't care enough to do a proper review for premium):


GFE Kawasaki was great. Much nicer than the last time I was at that location and a few touts were trying to call me over on the way so it sounds like other soaplands are becoming gaijin friendly. Girl didn't speak much english but I think they may have burner phones in each room to run google translate, which was amusing (she made it a point to show me that the case covered up both cameras). Was a bit concerning that they make a big deal about "large penises", so be very careful if you are even above average when you select a girl. Looks like they got rid of the lineup in favor of using a tablet in the lobby which is a shame, but is also a lot less awkward when you forget someone's name because they were in the middle of the lineup. Would recommend for basically anyone who can be bothered to take the train out to Kawasaki.



Also checked out THC Tokyo for the walk in "buy a girl on a vending machine" experience. As expected, she pushed for the upsale for PIV in the room (in the most awkward way imaginable). Weirdly, she came down in price over 50% because I "didn't have enough on me" but also was cool with hitting up a Family Mart on the way back so I could get cash. Kind of feel like she screwed that up but I am not complaining. And there is definitely a novelty to negotiating while receiving a ridiculously sloppy blowjob. Prefer the soapland (cheaper, less awkwardly waiting in a room with a bunch of horny dudes, not being paraded past all the other tourists on the way to the hotel, etc), but it was a good experience and I wish I had thought about going even farther with the ridiculously cheap yen. I also continue to understand why younger/more nomadic people just spend the night in love hotels. Dirt cheap and a LOT nicer than my business hotel.



And also checked out Trance Clinic for a "dry orgasm" (prostate+handy). Communicated over LINE and was supposed to have an english speaking provider set up, but it looked like they did a last minute swap (she gave a different name). Still a blast, if you are into that, but communication was definitely an issue since she understood almost zero english and "ram it in my ass until I squeal" is not something that tends to come up in business meetings for some reason. Felt like a gag in a sex comedy movie from the 00s, but she was REALLY good at reading body language so it didn't really matter outside of a few bits in the prep stage. Hope they are still in business next time I head over.


So yeah. GFE Kawasaki for anyone who wants a sure thing. Trance if you like it up the ass. THC if you really want to do the health service thing but...



As for the speculation side of things: Was chatting with a buddy who talked about having a connection to an escort service that doesn't advertise online and is referral only. But it sounds like a LOT of the girls with good english/spanish/russian/whatever skills got poached by services like that. Costs a good bit more than the delivery health gigs (sounded like it mostly equates to the older USD prices, but scaled for inflation) but guaranteed full service, a provider who can carry on a conversation, etc. Sounded like it was a good deal for the girls since they make more money and have clients who have been vetted and understand the hygiene expectations. And reduces almost all risk of being recognized for the girls who do this as a side hustle. Would have taken her up on it (this is not the kind of friend who would steal a kidney) but I had things to do other than just ejaculate all over the country.

Thank you for the info. I'm not into the prostate scene just yet. I'm hoping to find GFE studios or independent that would be 100% PIV. What would be the donation range for the japan scene? Should I be afraid of Tyrones(bullies/bodyguards)

Thanks for the insight, sounds like too many land mines in place.

Don't assume you can do a walk in and be guaranteed to bust a nut with no issues. Instead, use it to do research and narrow down the places to do a deep dive. Same with the review sites. Understand that those are advertisements and they often go out of their way to make sure the guy writing the review had a great time.


But if you just want a guaranteed simple experience? GFE Kawasaki for full service in a soapland style format and THC Tokyo for the delivery health. And I didn't partake (had dinner with a friend that evening and didn't want to reek of cum), but Tobita Shinchi in Osaka also seemed to have zero issues with foreigners based on the number of mama-san's who called out.


Just also don't expect to be having a conversation or asking for anything off menu. You are going to be using hand gestures, simplified language, etc.

Barubola in Shinjuku is one of my faves but at ¥51k for 90 minutes it can be a bit pricy but includes FS. Club Amour in Osaka (near Dotonbori) is another one I like with very talented attendants and is a bit cheaper but no FS.
