Narrative of the Encounter:
This was my second time visiting a soapland (first was on a prior trip in 2018 to a place I can't name on this forum) and DAMN! This is so so so so so so so much better than anything I have been able to find in the US. I'm a 33 year-old white American and I've had my fair share of Asian massage and independent escort experiences in the US, but there really is no comparison to what I've had in my soapland experiences here.
I landed in Tokyo around 5am and was looking for things to do during the day to keep me up and fighting off jetlag. After wandering around Ueno and Asakusa, I decided to visit a soapland in the afternoon. I wasn't sure where go as a white tourist with minimal Japanese language skills (thanks to everybody here for helping point me in the right direction). As I am staying in Shinjuku I was lookning for places in Shinjuku/Kabukicho and found Barubola. I thought this was promising as it has an option for an English website and said that foreigners are welcome.
I showered at my hotel and walked the 10 minutes over to Barubola. It is easy to find...it's on a side street in Kabukicho but with lots of branding out front and a sign directing you to an elevator to head to the fifth floor. I had to wait a few minutes for them to send the elevator, but I got up there and was politely greeted by the two dudes working the lobby. They didn't speak any English but directed me to waiting room where another employee was explaining the system to a Japanese patron. After he finished, he came over to me and did the same introduction, but in pretty decent English. He had the menu, explained the nomination fee process, was upfront about the 5K foreigner tax, and showed me to options: MInami (who I chose) and Riko Yabuki. No reason why I chose one over the other...just picked the picture that caught my eye first. I was told I had to wait 45 minutes for either one, so I paid the fee, and was given a reservation card. I was told I could either come back or hang out. I chose to walk around Kabukicho and come back.
While I was waiting for the reservation card, another Japanese patron came in and started chatting with me in pretty good English. He was asking me where I was from and how I found out about this establishment. He also said he was recently in the US to watch the World Series of Poker in Vegas and was in San Diego before that. He told me a little about his time going to Tiajuana and how he had fun at some establishments there. Rather than being awkward, it was actually kind of nice to chat politely with someone. Made me feel a little more at ease and welcome.
When I got back for my appointment, I handed my reservation card, was asked to wait a few minutes, and was given a cool towel. I also used the restroom where they had mouthwash. I was then told to walk down the stairs and was greeted by Minami in a slightly old-fashioned dress. She hugged me for a minute, then led me by the hand to the room. I made the faux pas of stepping into the room with my shoes on but quickly realized my mistake, and so took them off and put them outside the door. Minami then led me to the bed, where we sat and started some LFK. She speaks a little English (she told me later she studied in junior high), so we were able to communicate well enough. We spent the next 15-20 minutes kissing on the bed, slowly disrobing.
She is quite petite in my opinion, probably barely over 5ft with a toned body, breasts that are a nice handful, and smooth skin. I really enjoyed just running my hands over her body and holding her in my lap as we kissed, since this is not really an option with a lot of US escorts, who are pretty adverse to kissing/intimacy and are mostly trying to get to the action and get it over with. She sucked me off for a few minutes before I took my turn going down on her. I love going down on women, so I spent the next 20 minutes eating her out, fingering her, and rubbing her clit. She was game for most everything (although she wasn't that keen on me licking her asshole), and was a great receiver. She has pretty juicy and creamy pussy, if you are into that (which I am), so I was in heaven. About 45 minutes in, on goes the condom and we start the action. I was honestly a little worried about how this would go, not because I'm so huge or anything but because she is just small person. But no problems whatsoever and she was again game for anything. She is also quite loud and vocal...I enjoyed it but it was almost a little too loud at times. We fucked in a variety positions for about 15-20 minutes (with a few pauses for me to eat her out again) before I wanted a break and asked to hop in the bath. We sat in the bath together for about 10-15 minutes before getting back on the bed and going at it again. Highlight here was doggy style, where I could see her asshole push out each time I pushed in. I can sometimes have a hard time finishing, so after 10 minutes or so, I pulled out, took off the condom, and finished with my hand as she cupped my balls and caressed my face. She then cleaned me up, gave me some water, and cuddled with me for a few minutes while we chatted about baseball until it was time for me to leave.
She gave me her card, wrote down when she is working for the next week, and then guided me out. As I walked out, the elevator was waiting for me with the host dudes bowing to me on the way out. What an insanely different and more pleasant experience than the US where everything is rushed, secret, and more stressful. I went down the elevator and when on about the rest of my evening in a very pleasant mood.
Review Independence: Was this review requested by the Soapland?:
No, this review was written without a request from the Soapland or their provider.
Final Thoughts:
Recommended, May Repeat.
Closing Comments:
Really really great experience. Cost was about the same as what I'd pay in the US for a one hour appointment with a basic indie provider but the service, the set up, the girl, etc. was all 10x better. I don't have a ton of experience in japan to compare this to, but I highly recommend to anybody and especially to any foreigners who are looking for a good experience but are anxious about jumping in. I'm going to try a few more things on my trip (including Kaoru tomorrow, which I'll review) but I would be delighted to go back and see MInami again.
