Recently i have not been able to access cityheaven.net (only tried my phone). I am redirected to a 403 Forbidden page with the main message as:

"Your current behavior is detected as abnormal, Please try again later"

I tried with a vpn app on as well. Both chrome and firefox gives the same results.

Any clues? (Other than my obviously abnormal behavior)
 
Works fine for me both VPN on and off. On my phone too. Desktop and mobile versions ok. I’m not logged in though. Perhaps it’s your account. Are you logged in?
 
Logged into what? I just open a browser and manually enter the site address... it maybe something on my phone's end like a browser security... maybe the recent samsung update did something....

You can have an account on Cityheaven, that's what he's referring to. As more VPN's are detected, they get blocked (most likely) which is why not all VPN's doing geo-shift to Japan will work.

Logged into the city heaven website. I’m on an iPhone though.

The issue is I can't even get on the site to even log in if I wanted to...
 
Oh and i only used vpn just once to test. This is a new phenomenon as i know i accessed pages last week.

I tested this from a US Verizon ISP connection that I have access to, same result reported here.
 
So you got the same blocked message? I am also on Verizon... coincidence?
That actually might the be case... I tried another U.S. connection via VPN and Cityheaven works fine. Perhaps they've blocked Verizon, lol.
 
Thank you for asking about this because I have tried for weeks to no success, whether it be through my phone (Verizon) or my laptop. It will be okay though...
 
Or is it the other way around?

I am seeing something similar to what you have (403 Forbidden) and the UFO image:

I see CityHeaven is using some Chinese WAF software if viewing the page source:
Code:
    var langObj={       
        'colon':[':',':'],
        'evenID':['事件ID','Event-ID'],
        'clientIP':['客户端ID','Client-ID'],
        'cuurentTime':['当前时间','Current Time'],
        'errorTip':['您当前的访问行为存在异常,请稍后重试...','Your current behavior is detected as abnormal, Please try again later...'],
        'userAgent':['User-Agent','User-Agent'],
        'blockId':['Bot拦截ID','Bot-Block-ID'],
        'RequestID':['Request-ID', 'Request-ID']
    }

I guess they don't really want dirty Americans to visit :p

I didn't dig into this a whole lot, but that block page is being served from CDN within Japan -- Yeah, there some Chinese origins apparently.

Curious.

I am guessing it has to do with their multi-day outage during November. Perhaps they finally found out the source of DDoS and decided to blank ban traffic from out of country. Do VPNs with Japan exit nodes still work?

It was working from Canada the other day, but I just tried, and am now blocked, on both cable and cell.
 
not sure why the OP is accessing city heaven but there is also
https://www.purelovers.com/
they seem to have better coverage for kyushu but a lot weaker for Kanto and Kansai. It looks like a Coke/Pepsi think, if you are on one site, you aren't on the other.

also a question about cityheaven and other sites like this, what is the business model they use? Do shops pay, or do they take a cut from people who book thru them or both?

It's useful for before a trip to know what girls one might want to book during the trip instead of trying to find out at the last minute. Personally I rather plan ahead on the shops/girls than rush to figure out what girl I can book when I want to book, since as a gaijin and all, your choices are rather limited. I know there are tons of shops but that also means tons of homeworks (browsing through way too many diaries).
