Hello!

My boyfriend and I are visiting from New York, and we have been reading this forum for awhile. We wanted to try a Happenig Bar and a Couple Kissa, and I wanted to report back since I always read things on this site. :) We went last night.

We are both in our 20s and Asian. We cannot speak any Japanese. We arrived at Bliss Out on a Tuesday night at 12:15pm after drinking at bit in Golden Gai. It was hard to find because the door that we went to was unmarked. It looked like an apartment, and we were hesitant to ring the bell.

Eventually, we rang the bell, and a Japanese man opened the door. He said Tomo was on holiday. It was very hard to communicate with him, but I used Google Translate on the phone.

At first, he wouldn't let us pay the couple rate. He wanted my boyfriend to pay 13,000 for the night fee and 5,000 to become a member. He said I would be free. However, I asked if we could have a cheaper price since we are leaving Tokyo tomorrow. He agreed and gave us the couple rate. We paid 7,000 for the night fee and I think 5,000 to register. He wouldn't tell us if there were people inside, but we were hopeful.

He did not check our passports, and we did not sign any form. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to come back tomorrow, so I asked if we could come back tomorrow. He said we can come back between 7-9am and he gave us a business card, asked us to write our name on it, and then he wrote the date on t.

We put our shoes away, checked our bags and coats, and he gave us a tour. He didn't show us the bottom floor though. He just opened the door and we walked downstairs ourselves.

Unfortunately, the entire playroom and upper bar area was empty. We were impressed with how clean it was and how cool the layout was. We had some fun in the playroom and then headed upstairs.

Overall, it was really cool, but I wish we had seen people. Would it be worth it Togo during the day today? I think we will drop by one more time at night to try again.
 
Thanks for your report... so you meant that you arrived at 12:15 AM or 00:15?

I think since you went so late on a weeknight, that's probably why it was deserted. You would have much better luck if you could come back on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights -- before the last train. Or, when there is some event scheduled.
 
Wow, so he didn't wanna let you guys go as a couple and didn't mention there was nobody there or at least try to get some regulars to come? (They sometimes call people up if its empty, i think.)
Thats pretty shady and sad.

Bliss Out is a good option for non japanese speakers but i dont really like that place.
 
Thanks so much for your advice! Yes, we arrived around 12:15AM (15 min after midnight).

We leave Tokyo tomorrow morning, so we will try again tonight. Are there any other HBs non Japanese speakers? I read about Olive 21, but is Olive 21 better than Bliss Out? I'm not sure if we can pay another membership fee for an empty HB :( it was cool to see this one because it was our first HB despite it being empty!

Olive 21 better than Bliss Out?

Olive21 is better than BlissOut because you have to enter as a couple... thus, the ratio to men and women are equal. Olive21 is also busier, but it suffers the same problem... weeknights can be slow. It becomes a ghost town after last train. Olive21 is usually 50-60% full on Friday nights and weekends, before last train.

The only hurdle for Olive21 is that the male member must get a member's card which requires some Japanese. You can try and the worse they can say is no...
But once inside, you may have a hard time with other couples if you cannot communicate.

I wish I had better info but your timing is kinda bad, being right in the middle of the week and just after a major holiday season. People are still recovering, haha.
 
I went there once on a Friday night and there was nobody. There were lots of people for their anniversary though
I can't recommend the place...

I am a single man. Does anyone recommend Bliss out for a single man?

According to their website, they accept single guys.

And also, which day and time are the best to find more people inside?

Depends what you are expecting.
You are not likely to get some action (but it is a slight possibility) since the guys hugely outnumber the women usually, and even if there would be many women, there is still the question if she wants to play with you and you with her.
But you can likely watch people having sex and such hot scenarios, plus unlimited nomihodai the whole night so its a descent outing. :)

is that the best option for single men though? I never tried an HB but I wouldn't mind going in one once.

that being said if I'll be there just to watch then it's not my thing. but if there's some HB which is very active during fridays/saturdays and you have good chances to get some action then I wouldn't mind trying.

I have never been at an HB where single men appeared to have "good chances", but it is not clear to me that their chances are best at busy times. The number of women there who are willing to go to a play room with one of the single guys is higher at busy times of course, but so is the number of other single guys competing for the ladies' attention. I have never gone to an HB without a date myself, so the above is based on my observations, not my personal experiences.

I see, thanks for the clarification regardless.

as far as bringing your date to an HB goes, do you just ask directly the girl you're dating if she's interested in doing the HB experience? Or possibly just wait until she mentions something.

I ask directly and, if she expresses any interest, I tell her as much (or maybe more) than she wants to know about what it is like, how it works etc. I also emphasize that she would not have to participate at all if she'd like to go have a look and that we can leave any time she wants etc.
