Tokyo, late October, 1998

As a veteran TJ monger, I was NOT at all unhappy when business activities necessitated my having to make a trip to Japan. Numerous stories and legends of the mysterious beauties of the East came to mind. With the Internet as a research tool, I set out a plan to sample each of the variations of the theme we all know so well - but with a twist. I decided to report on my travels from the perspective of an AB/CC/HK/etc., Zona Norte orientation.

THURSDAY:
My first foray was to the sparkle and glitter of Shubuya. Kind of an upscale entertainment area for the young, trendy crowd. Thanks to an excellent tip from a fellow TJ veteran, Sire Juplo, I sought out and quickly located what is known as a "Pink Salon". Many of these types of establishments are not "foreigner friendly" but the one I was directed to in Shibuya was quite friendly, indeed.

The deal goes like this: you take the elevator up to the third floor and walk up to the cashier. A payment of 8,000 yen (about $75) gets you a seat in a booth (about the size of one of the booths at the CC but with a smaller table and a seat on only one side). A bottle of beer (Kirin) & a glass magically appear and after a few minutes, a sweet young thing slides into the seat beside you.

My companion was a native Japanese gal named Mika, age 23 and quite pretty without being gorgeous. I can't equate her to any of the popular gals in TJ, looks wise. After searching for and not finding any verbal language that we both spoke, she began rubbing my thighs in a manner that convinced me that she wanted to get "better acquainted". I unzipped the top of her dress and slid it down to her waist. Looking around at the other patrons in the adjacent booths I noticed that I was the only guy in the place that still had his pants on. I quickly remedied that problem and my new found "friend" carefully washed the appropriate exposed areas with one of those little warm wash cloths usually seen in the restaurants.

Once that was taken care of she simply leaned over face down into the area between me and the table and proceded to administer an a #1 first class BBBJ that would rival or exceed even the best that TJ has to offer (Tania at AB). About 15 minutes of that was all I could take and things came to a somewhat explosive finish. In keeping with the decor, all evidence of the deed was swallowed and licked clean. Not a drop was spit or drooled. More of the little warm wash cloths to clean up afterwards (nice touch but not really necessary). Tipped her about $15 and was genuinely thanked for doing so (it's not customary to tip anyone there, I later found out).

The sounds of my fellow patrons reaching their finishes added to the ambiance of the background noise. A concept like this operation would be absolutely dynamite in TJ. Imagine a bunch of the regulars at the CC on a Saturday night just sitting in the booths, not having to even go upstairs, drinking a Dos Equiis and getting an a #1 BBBJ right in the club. I kind of doubt the local officials would look at this favorably, even in La Zona.

Great idea, though, long as you are not shy about getting a BBBJ about 4 or 5 feet away from 3 other guys getting the same kind of service.

FRIDAY:
Next night I journeyed out to the suburb of Okubo north-east of one of the major train stations, Shinjuku. The quarry this night was to try one of the street girls (similar set up to the infamous "wall", but with a couple of twists). About 1/3 of the "girls" are not really girls. They are what the locals refer to as "Ladyboys". You and I would refer to them as "TVs". The rule is, if it looks like a Thai, it's probably a ladyboy. Good advice!!!

I managed to avoid the TVs and concentrated on a search for one of the previously reported very pretty Phillipinas or Eastern European girls known to work the area. Those of you who know this reporter personally will not be surprised by what ended up my fate. A very, very pretty girl with a gorgeous figure and western features gave me a big smile and enticed me to stop for a "chat". The first word out of her mouth was "Norteamericano?" and I knew that the inevitable had happened - I had encountered what I later learned was one of only two senoritas in the whole area.

My "amiga" was 23 and from Colombia. She was pleased to be able to speak her native language (and so was I). She could speak some Japanese but I can't speak but about a dozen words of it. I had been clue-ed in that prices were steep in this area (20,000 yen ~ about $175) for an hour with 4,000 yen for a "Love Hotel" (very similar to the hotels at AB and CC). Apparently the $175 is for "por la boca" -or- "el sexo" but not both. I got an idea and asked my senorita if she had ever tried a chocolate flavored condom. She was absolutely fascinated by the idea so I whipped out one of San Ysidro's bestchocolate flavored ones and showed it to her. She relented and agreed to a half and half session, as long as she could use the 'chocolate'.

This gal would have ranked with some of the better Adelitas girls. Just a little bit "soft" rather than the "slim" look of the CC girls. She reminded me alot of Mirabel from AB in looks and body (but with bigger chichis) and a similar top notch attitude. We had a lot of laughs over the chocolate flavoring of the condom including a few "muy ricos" from her.

We then had a somewhat awkward second half of the session. Unlike the typical AB gal, "Elizabeta" has not had any children and was quite "small" where it counts. She had forgotten her 'lubricante' so I had to really take it easy and work things rather slowly. She was very talented but only into some very basic positions. She had some really good internal muscle control and used it to its best advantage when the inevitable end came. She gave me her cell phone # and told me to call her if I want to get together again before going home. Might do it.... Go all the way to Japan and find a senorita... who else could this happen to? (Yes, Jaime - she had a big, gorgeous smile!!!!)

SATURDAY:
Third night had to attend business function so no partying.

SUNDAY:
Next day was a weekend day so decided to try one of the Soaplands. Struck out! Very few of these will acccept "foreigners" without local "sponsors". Those that will want 60,000 to 100,000 yen ($550 to $900) for about an hour and a half. I don't have a yen to spend that much YEN for what I can get for $40 and $10 for the room at the AB. The pictures of the girls were mostly very pretty but I'd been warned that the 2nd stringers are usually assigned to us foreigners. These establishments are mostly in an area called Yoshiwara which is on the northeast side of town. Possibly within Sir BOT's budget, but not in mine.

SUNDAY, continued
That night off to Kabuchiko - looks like and feels like Avenida Revolucion on the main streets and sort of like La Zona on the back streets. Two main types of establishments in this area are Fashion Health Clubs and Hostess Takeout Bars. Tried one of the relatively few FHCs that will accept foreigners and had a good but pricey session with a masseuse who comes into a room dressed in a theme costume (you pick the costume from a book at the desk).

She serves you a drink or a beer and then undresses you and eventually undresses herself but her panties stay on. Combo HJ/BJ is all that's on the agenda but talent is pretty good and have GREAT attitudes. Ran about $275 for the deal. Try to picture Heidy dressed up as Wonderwoman, Angela as a Female Police Officer or Sophia as a High School girl in uniform and you get the idea.

I had a real cutie, quite thin and real petite gal in a one of their more popular outfits. No real corresponding action to the Tokyo FHC scene in TJ. Maybe on Halloween - now there's a thought! My girl was named Hitome and she was 24 - looked even younger - from Osaka. Couldn't have weighed more than 90 pounds soaking wet and was having the time of her life taking on my extra-large sized North American body. Almost no English but a real fun gal that liked to laugh. Reminded me alot of Heidy as far as both attitude and height (or should I say lack of height). She was quite proud of the fact that she (even though the smallest girl in the place) was able to deal with "Godzilla-san" as she jokingly referred to me.

Action was strictly 'por la boca' with raincoat. Fun, but too expensive at $90 per half hour.

MONDAY:
Had to work late, no partying.

TUESDAY:
Was down to my last 35,000 yen (and last 2 Viagra). Went to one of the Hostess Take Out Bars tonight. This, my friends, is an exact copy of the AB/CC/HK Zona Norte scene we all enjoy so much. Walk into a club, once you find one where they accept foreigners (street touts a big help with this), pick out a girl, pay a bar fine of so many yen and off to a "love hotel" for a 40 minute F/S encounter.

A few of these girls are in the Dulce/Sophia class looks wise but smaller, thinner frames. None were below the average Saturday night lineup at Chicago. Saw a few with enhanced chichis but not many. Ended up with a mixed heritage half Japanese-half Phillipina that was far and away the best looking gal of the trip, so far.

4,000 Yen cover charge ($35) to get in the place, another 4,000 yen ($35 more) for the Love Hotel and 20,000 yen (about $180) for a 40 minute anything goes session with the girl ($250 total).

Kaoru was 28, looked about 20 and spoke some English, a little Spanish, fluent in Tagalog and Japanese. This gal looked like she could have been a sister of Valerie at the CC. Kaoru lives in Nagoya and knew some of the Tijuana Mexican girls that were there last year. Tricky part of this scene is finding a street tout that will take you to one of these kinds of places that will accept "foreigners" (only 10-15% of the clubs will).

Also saw a couple of real classy street girls hanging out in front of some of the love hotels. Most just looked away when a foreigner approached. No cigar, there!

WEDNESDAY:
Last night in town. Supposed to go out to dinner with my business associate. Get a last minute call saying he's not feeling well and would I mind looking out for myself for the evening. No problem, I assure him. Go rummaging through all my pockets and turn up about 11,000 Yen in various denominations.

Figure my best bet is back to the Pink Salon from the previous Thursday night. Take the subway over early in the evening (190 Yen) and walk in to a flourish from the cashier/doorman who seems to remember me. I plunk down my 8,000 yen like the veteran I now am and he jabbers something totally unintelligble back at me. Pushes back 2,000 yen and points to a sign on the wall. Either there is a Wednesday night special for 6,000 Yen or I've unknowingly become a member of the Shibuya Frequent BBBJ Club and am entitled to a member's discount. Either way, now I'll have money left over for dinner. More on that later.

Same basic routine as the previous night there. Got seated at a booth, served a beer and then this real fox sits down next to me. Knowing that this is already bought and paid for and what she's there to do gets me going on only a half dose of Vitamin "V".

The gal's name is Me-gu (pronounced like "Meg" with just a slight hint of the 'u' sound at the end). Japanese looking around the eyes but her body and skin color/texture is all "senorita". I ventured a guess and greeted her in Spanish. She replied "en espanol", but was surprised that I was "Spanish speaking". She had been sure I was an American. I laughed and told her I was. She comes back to me in English that she is half Japanese and half Peruvian (born in Peru). Working in Japan to support the family back home. If any of you remember a gal named Fabiola at the AB from Mazatlan, she looked alot like her.

We chatted for a few minutes and then she whispered in my ear that if I would be so kind as to drop my trousers and shorts to the floor she would be very happy to put a smile on my face. Due to the intensity of the week's activities, things took almost the whole alotted 40 minutes and she was abit tired out, but got the job done skillfully like the best girls of La Zona. Kind of like Teresa at AB - determined to make the customer happy, even if it's a difficult task.

This one's not a swallower. She discretely used one of the used towlettes to get rid of the fruits of our labors. Offered her a tip for the extra effort and she initially politely declined, saying it was not "costumbre". I insisted that she take a 1,000 yen propina after all the extra work she had done and she whispered a "gracias" in my ear and told me she really needed the money that month. If I could have brought one of these gals home with me for a month of fun and games, this would have
been the one.

Me-gu walked me to the door arm-in-arm and offered both of her cheeks for a chivalrous kiss "Adios" and I was out the door with the smile she had promised. About this time, I could almost taste a cold Dos XX and a good taco. Walked up the street that 21st Century (the Pink Salon) is on and stumbled across an honest-to-goodness Japanese-Mexican-American restaurant. An order of chicken tacos (830 yen) and a bottle of Dos XX (650 yen) and I was in "Hog Heaven". Found the right subway line on the first try and headed back to the hotel. Was writing this less than 90 minutes after sampling Me-gu's wonderful talents.

Summary:
If you are going to Tokyo, bring money - lots of it. Everything is pretty pricey. Some gorgeous, eager to please Asian gals and even a couple of hot Senoritas. Multi-racial and multi-ethnic girls quite common and often handle the foreign visitors. What's not to love?

Just make sure you have enough Yen for your yen, so to speak. If you are of Japanese ancestry or have a Japanese host, pretty much everything is open to you. If you are a non-Japanese Asian expect some pretty flagrant discrimination. Americans of European descent probably get the best opportunities behind the ethnic Japanese. Chatted briefly with one African-American business man in one of the clubs and he said he had had alot of problems but had two or three places that would generally admit him.

The Pink Salons are a real blast - as long as you aren't too shy about the semi-public nature of the deed. Best bargain in town!

The takeout hostess bars are good but they are a little pricey. Top quality gals, though. Be careful not to confuse these with regular hostess bars which are totally non-hobbyist oriented. Conversation (in Japanese) and a drinking companion is all you get in those.

The Fashion Health Clubs are okay but the girls aren't quite as pretty as the Pink Salons or the Take-Outs. If you ever had a fantasy about getting either a HJ or BJ from a woman dressed in a certain kind of attire, this may be your thing. Theme rooms are available for a few thousand yen more.

Street girls in Okubo were good - watch out for the TVs, though. I did not see any ethnic Japanese girls working in Okubo. The ones around Shinjuku were Japanese but seem to only handle Japanese clients.

Soaplands - forget it unless you have a local host or sponsor! Full service for the locals, limited access for foreigners and out of sight prices with 2nd stringers for us 'gaijin gringos'.

Sayonara,
Sire Juan

PS: Have had two reports from fellow hobbyists that visited Century-21 with less than favorable outcomes. One had a terrific BBBJ from a gal (name and details unreported) but she managed to give him her strep throat infection in what he related to me as a case of "Strep Johnson". The other correspondent reported being refused service but was able to find similar (but not BB) accomodations at a Pink Salon directly upstairs from 21st Century. Not sure what his problem was. Two others have recently reported outstanding results similar to my own.

As the original author of this post on Redsnake, I'd like to offer to answer any questions about the Tokyo scene that I can. It's almost three years since I was there but things don't usually change very quickly there. Looks like I'm headed back there this year, so I hope to have an update.
ECJuan

Very very nice report Ecjuan! How about a little more details on where the Pink Salons are located or how to locate them? I suppose you don't have a choice of girl there right? can you at least ask for someone who can speak english (or spanish)?

Beside the Pink Salon service, are you saying any kind of FS will be very expensive and hard to find, clubwise and streetwise?

Thx for the infos.

The Pink Salons (or Pinku Salons as they are known as in Tokyo) are all over the place. There was a book published back in 1997 that listed locations on alot of them that I'm afraid would be obsolete by now. Unfortunately, I don't remember the title right now, but if I can find it, I'll post it.

The Salons all have signs out in front and if you see a sign that has the word "Pinku" in English and either a picture of a pretty girl or one of those cartoon anime girls, you've probably found what you are looking for. The ones written strictly in Kanji probably wouldn't accept you as a customer anyway unless you are Japanese.

Your best areas to search are definitely in the Kabuchiko section (near Shinjuku train station) which is an area almost completely devoted to commercial sex and in the Shibuyu area which is less blatant about it but has a number of places on the back streets. I've also heard recently that the Rappongi area near Tokyo tower has some places that tend to cater more toward visiting foreigners.

I found the Bellmen in the hotels to be a good source of info, assuming you can find one that speaks English.

In the places I went to (other than the street action in Okubo) you did NOT have your choice of women. Finding one that speaks English would be a fluke and Spanish an even bigger surprise (like my little half Peruvian). The only area where the odds might be a little more in your favor on that in a Salon would be in Rappongi.

By the way, I understand there are almost always some Colombian and Peruvian chicas working the street scene out in Okubo. To get there you need to get to the Shinjuku train station and take the #13 JR train (the Green line) to the first stop and walk to the exit at the end of the platform and out to the street. Turn right and walk about five blocks and then turn right down any of the next five or so side streets. The "zona" is about 2 blocks wide by five blocks long. You should see a number of "Love Hotels" and some chicas standing around. The gals are definitely "working" and I encountered both English speaking and Spanish speaking ones.

I did alot of research before I went and got some good first and second hand reports from some guys who'd been there very recently. Hopefully someone who's been there in the past year is a subscriber here and will be able to give us all an update.

Good hunting...

I missed the second part of the questions above. All FS action is expensive in Tokyo. The street action is probably the best value. As I understand it, the Pink Salons are only BBBJ and the Hostess takeouts, though FS are kind of pricey. The Soaplands, assuming you can find one that will accept a foreigner, are just way too expensive. I did hear of a couple that would take "gaiijin" customers but all you got were second string non-Japanese gals.

Finding FS can be challenging as so many of the places only provide limited services to foreigners, if any at all.

Since the Asia economy downturn about 3 years ago things may have gotten a little cheaper but prices are no doubt still very high compared to HK, BKK or a host of other Asian destinations. You don't want to go to Tokyo for a mongering vacation but if you have other reasons to be there, you might as well sample the local talent.

Here is a graphic rendition of the inside of a Pink Salon. Submitted by ECJuan.

Looks like an L.A. hostess club on a REALLY good night.

Hey!!!!!

I remember that night! Hmmm, hey Hippie, didn't you check out a girl in a red dress........

DAMN!! This must be a pic from the security camera!!!!

Damn BillyPV, you're still alive?

I was in Japan a few weeks ago for business and I had no idea about the scene before going.

I wandered around Kabuchiko a lot... it's filled with massage parlors, etc. You can tell who works there by the photographs displayed on the outside, and then inside they show you more photos in a book of the girls who are available. You're not allowed to see the actual girls until you select.

I found that the places where young, beautiful Japanese girls worked just wouldn't admit me. They'd say "Japanese only". I wondered if it would be different if I spoke Japanese, but I don't think so. I even got some hostile reactions from Japanese customers leaving... as if they were offended that I'd want to be with a Japanese girl.

Places with Chinese, Korean or other non-Japanese girls would often admit me, however.

I stumbled onto what's been called a "Pink Salon" above without knowing what it was going to be. This one was down a flight of stairs to the cashier's window, then after paying down another flight of stairs. It was set up like the drawing in a previous message.

What people don't seem to have known or haven't posted is that the admission price includes not just one blowjob but as many as you want, for a given amount of time. You pay for an hour or some amount of minutes. Girls come around and you can receive as many blowjobs as you want within that time, if there are girls available. You also get as many beers as you can drink during that time. I paid about $150 for 1 hour.

In this place, there was one pretty Japanese girl who came over and did me as I fingered her pussy. She was going to do a BBBJ but I'm health-conscious and had her use a condom. After she was finished, another girl, this time a pretty Chinese one, came over and because I was spent for the time being, I just fingered her and sucked on her breasts.

After I was done, she gave me a moist towel to clean up, took my arm and escorted me to the exit, bowed and kissed me.

Nice!
