Don't want to say what shop I went to for privacy reasons so not posting this in reviews, but apparently, they are all the same so here we go:

Went to this having no idea what it would be like, with the expectation that there were going to be some type of secret options (Hint: there is none).

Paid 5000 yen for 40 minutes, including 10 minutes of nominate time. So you go in, the cutest girl in the shop was manning the register.... she makes you put your phone in a locker then wands you down to make sure you aren't hiding a camera.

At the place I went to, you then go watch not entirely attractive girls, play on their cell phones. through what I assume to be a see-through mirror. I was wishing I had my cell phone the entire time.
There are signs saying you will be asked to leave if you try and communicate with the girls.

I nominated the cutest girl and was treated to a rather awkward 10 minute strip show where she humped the 2 way mirror with her backside and frontside and then masturbated through her pants. Then left with 15 minutes left on my clock, because after that just sitting there watching unattractive girls be bored was a waste of my time.

There are tons of non-secret options, take home girls panties/bras/socks, take off all her clothes when you get the strip show, cream usage etc.

If this was another first world country with stricter sex morals/ less options I could see this being an interesting strip show option.

For Japan, it just seems like a waste of money, Sexy Kyabas are the same price for the same amount of time where you can touch and talk. If you want the more expensive options, then it starts getting close to the price of normal sex shops (nomination fee was 3000 yen for 15 mins + option fees).
Maybe if the girls were way above the cuteness of other shops, but at least at the shop I went to they were of lower quality then both the sexy kyaba and fuzoku shop I went to later in the night...

Maybe this place is for the super 'soshoku' guy who can't/doesn't want to even talk to the girl face to face..

見学クラブ - Kengaku club
Kengaku literally means "study by observation".
These places are literally watch only. There's no opportunity to communicate with the girls, at all.
Some guys sketch the girls, some just sit there and watch, some beat off.... but none of them talk to the girls, let alone touch them.
 
I've never seen a Kengaku club that didn't also have the chance to pay more and get to know the girls personally in a hotel.

I've always been sort of tempted to try out a Kengaku Club but always stopped just short because of exactly the things you mentioned - had a feeling at the end of the day it would be sort of a letdown for the money spent.

Did a bit of lightweight internet research and apparently some of the clubs used to have a more robust option menu, including options where the girls came to your booth. The most well-known Kengaku Club (at least that I came across) seems to be one centrally located in Shibuya and did offer that sort of service in the past but discontinued it a while back because of numerous issues that arose. I could be wrong but I remember reading that some of the other clubs do still offer in-booth services.

At any rate there are a bunch of AV titles detailing the kind of shenanigans that could theoretically arise in one of these clubs, although as with almost all other AV "plotlines" I have a feeling the seeds of reality are far overshadowed by fantasy.

Ha! Yes, and if the AV were realistic it would mean that there are a lot of sons getting it on with their moms/step-moms/sisters as they're washing the bathtub wearing spandex ;)
 
It's a "Spank Bank" club... With option to spank right there but the two way mirror doesn't subject the girl to have to watch you? Means Weinstein would definitely not like this place (is it too soon to joke about this wank?)
Well you learned a lesson and it cost u ¥5,000 so not too terrible for education.... I mean some English teachers charge ¥4,500/hour.... With no cream option.... :D

Ha, someone has a sense of humor! ¥5,000 is quite an expensive lesson!

Higher education is expensive! Though 5k is peanuts compared to what most guys go through. Just make sure not to make the same errors again, there are so many new ones waiting it's not worth repeating!

Yeah, wasn't even complaining about the price, just wtf at the experience? As a one time only wtf? experience, I would say it is worth 5,000. Tons of others threads here where people have been ripped off of 30,000-50,000 without getting anything for it.
 
That's not the type of activity that I would pay to watch, but I won't judge others.

But then again good Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

There is a surprisingly good number of people, even here in TAG, who upon stumbling on something they do not like have to announce to the whole world how disgusting that is. Let a hundred perversions blossom says me.
 
In New York, about five years ago during the December holiday season, someone with deep pockets launched an experiment.

In a vacant retail location, not far from prime Fifth Avenue stores, they created an apartment-like living room setting with couches, chairs and a coffee table.

In that setting, for long periods of time (not 24/7) sat attractive female models. They read books, ate snacks and engaged in other routine activities. I was lucky enough to walk by one night when the girls were wearing pajamas and brushing each other’s hair.

It didn’t promote any products, companies or any subtle product placements. The fact that this demonstration involved attractive females made it a popular phenomenon for a while.

Most participants were drawn to that demonstration, although some tourists complained that it subjected their children to subtle erotic images during Christmas shopping.

The best thing about it was that it was free entertainment.

Girls in pajamas brushing each others hair being a subtle sexual image that disturbes their children?
Way to hate women for existing...
