Yeah it’s true. They’re notoriously famous for being Japanese only. I’m Asian American, so I don’t stand out compared to Black or White guys and have been mistaken for being Japanese. Almost all the shops in Shinodayama rejected me except for one. I became a regular at this shop and the mama-san welcomed me whenever I visited, but I was still very careful when I came in that the other stores don’t see me going to this shop. Some of the girls I’ve played with over there had tattoos. The service over there is the most anything goes and raw BJ, deep kiss is standard play. I wouldn’t be surprised if raw FS and cream pie is standard for some girls. I haven’t visited in 2 years though. I would recommend Kannami Shinchi or Matsushima if you haven’t been there. They are more open to foreigners compared to Shinodayama.
Very sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the info!
I'm very visibly foreign, so I guess I won't be going to Shinodayama, but good to know nonetheless.
Not an official review, but I've been to Matsushima Shinchi very recently and have a similar impression as other posters.
Most of the
obaachans outside of the shops tried to flag me down, some very aggressively, but most very kindly. All one has to do is smile, nod and appear respectful and I doubt they'll be any trouble. And a "外国人などうですか?" would go a long way as well, I imagine, as this both indicates that you a) speak Japanese and b) understand that some girls turn foreigners away and are tactful enough to ask beforehand.
I saw one "Japanese Only" signs, perhaps two at the very most, I can't remember.
Customer traffic was
very down, and while I went at 5 o'clock or so, I doubt it improves much before closing at 8.
I also went around May of last year but just didn't like the vibe, and back then the traffic was only marginally better.
Again, anecdotal, but when I went to Tobita in October of this year, it seemed that the traffic had really picked up and almost recovered, so that could mean that, while you have a place like Matsushima more to yourself, girls might be angling to work at Tobita if they can, thus leaving less attractive members behind at Matsushima. Bur again, pure speculation, and I was rejected once at Tobita for being a foreigner.
The girl I spent time with, however, was EXTREMELY kind, and quite cute as well. Compared to the girl I saw at Tobita, she was a dream, and would be wonderful company by any metric.
She and I had a good time comparing Tobita to Matsushima, and she agreed with me that the variety, attitude and service of Matsushima was better.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
