Hi I noticed theres plenty of information here on things like hotels and transportation but what about entertainment places to visit in Japan? Is there a website I can go to find a directory of soaplands in places like Nagasaki or Osaka? Could I ask the local tourist office for the directions? Thanks
 
First time I've ever seen whorehouses euphemistically referred to as "entertainment places".....
 
Seeing as this is meant to be a family orientated site, I don't think you'll find any Jref articles about how to find a soapland that best suits you.

Certain members may at times give out information, but don't expect anymore.

I can just imagine the look on the poor people's who work at the tourist center faces should you ask such a thing! I don't think you'd have much luck with that, either!
 
Well ?

I guess you could rate them on who has the best soap or who has the smoothest hands, etc. ?

If you only made a search of this forum you would find plenty of info:

However, remember that we are talking about prostitution - and popibly human traficking and child abuse!

This is from a recent ILO report: "Unbearable to the human heart - Child traficking and action to eliminate it": "Japan is reported to be the largest market in the Far East for non-Japanese women in the sex trade, with some 150,000 mainly Asian women involved.23 There is no age disaggregation in these statistics and they very likely include girls below 18 years of age."

I would suggest (unless you are really ugly or unattractive) that you could easily find a local girlfriend instead!
 
I was only curious anyway. besides I thought soaplands are for therapeutic massage and cleaning only.

Alright then what are some good places to meet the locals and socialize? Japanese are very shy people after all.
 
One thing I never got my head around was the fact that both male and females are willing to pay for "services". Now if your not as han chan said completely unattractive go out enjoy yourself and perhaps get a girl.

I dont encourage promiscuity but I would rather you go out and have some "fun" than go and pay your money to help degrade some woman/man.

Interesting way of looking at it.

I am sure there are some websites that will give ratings to such establishments. Just "run your fingers" though Google.

Erm I managed to get to know a girl whilst in a Hard Rock cafe eating lunch, its been known for people to even manage to score a date in a shop. Be inventive, just be a bit outgoing and as long as you have basic Japanese skills you should be ok.

I managed it and well my Japanese skills arent great but they improved greatly whilst just getting to know this girl.
 
Most Japanese folks who frequent Western themed bars (rock bars, reggae bars, the Hard Rock cafe as Zaff mentioned) are open to the prospect of being approached by and chatted to by a foreigner. TGIFridays, the American eatery, is also full of Japanese and foreign folks and I saw plenty of people getting along whenever I'd eat there.

As for finding a good place for service, you'll find that unless you speak Japanese well enough to carry on a conversation with the gentlemen working in the front office who arrange said activities, you'll be turned away. They'd rather lose your business than deal with a gaijin who can't speak Japanese and doesn't comprehend the system. It's more of a liability for them than a sales opportunity.

My cousin brought me to a hostess lounge one night and we had trouble getting in because of my presence, despite the fact that he was 100% Japanese. (I'm half, and a strongly dilluted looking half at that). We eventually got in but, would have been no dice if I'd been on my own.
 
Yuck !

Don't buy any of that Japanese gum in the wall mounted dispensers, it tastes like rubber!
