The Yoshiwara Soapland Resource Thread

You don't have to be a genius to figure out which shops/girls offer this to Japanese customers, but that doesn't mean that this an option for foreigners. We had threads here about high end shops reducing service for foreigners and advising girls to not even kiss. What locals and foreigners can expect at shops are two separate things.

Discussing this topic here will only lead to wrong expectations and foreigners with little experience pestering girls/shops about it. Nothing positive will ever come from it.

We keep raw service discussion under wraps because randos read this site and then think they are entitled to something because they read about it here, happening with someone else. It's the people with poor comprehension and manners that are out to destroy whats available. As a tourist, they don't care as they'll leave Japan and in some cases, never to return… so zero impact on themselves. Meanwhile, residents here are caught in the wake of said tourist destruction…

I will say I wish we had a secret subforum dedicated to it for high quality information that wouldn't leak out to socially retarded foreigners... or maybe we already have one and I'm not in it, LOL.
 
Poor Ren, she is one of my favorites. I've seen her three times this year. She's such a sweet and gentle girl, I hope she's doing ok
thanks to this incident, she quit the store (or maybe the industry).

There is a similar issues with high end restaurants. Have heard of a few places that won't take reservations from tourists without a deposit charge because the risk of cancellation is significantly higher.

Booking lots of things and then canceling or no showing in a country you'll never visit again is actually CONVENIENT; overbook and then at the last minute choose what you actually want to do? With no repercussions? How great is that?

From a shop perspective cancels are the WORST. At least a shit customer who gets kicked out has PAID.
Same thing with hotel bookings, many charge 100% if you cancel less than 24 hrs before stay. Nothing weird at all.

That makes sense – thanks for explaining.
 
Don't know if it is true or not,but there are rumors , that Hisyo may increase foreigners' fee up to $100000 yen.😑😭

Don't know when it will enforce,or will Hisyo's sister shops follow this practice or not.
For further clarification, I reached out to someone I am a regular with, and she mentioned that if you're new to the store, the tax will increase to 20k. However, if you're a returning customer, the fees will remain the same as they were before the increase.

How much do the sister shops share customer info? I've been to Segretario but not Hisyo or Etoile. I wonder if I will be exempt from an increased foreigner fee.

Just made a booking via X at Hisyo. Can confirm that the total cost is now 100k for a new customer
 
Does anyone have any strong opinions on Tiara? I see there's been mixed reviews, and I saw someone mention it was kind of baity. But Ten showed up on my feed and she looks hella attractive ahahaha.

It also seems like a lot of them offer NS. Since I wouldn't be offered it anyway, would it be taking on unnecessary extra (health) risk going with a provider who does it?
 
Can confirm that foreigner pricing is now 100,000 yen, up from 90,000 yen. Doesn't matter if you're fluent in Japanese, they go by nationality.

The old price wasn't ¥90,000. The regular price is ¥67,500 and with the old gaijin tax of ¥10,000 it came out to ¥77,500, just like Segretario.

With the new total price of ¥100,000, it comes out to a gaijin tax of ¥32,500. It's downright insulting and people really should steer clear of the shop at that price.
 
There is quite a large segment of clients who is not price sensitive, though...
And ruins it for everyone else. I was actually of that mindset for a while- who cares about a few yen?

But it does hurt everyone.

Plus when I bought my first Japanese apartment it was eyeopening that the rent the tenant paid… was less than many deriheru and Soaplands.
 
and some tourists even insist on tipping :X3:

I guess the only way to play with reasonable price for me in this area is to get the passport.
Maybe if you go to the PLANTs it won't be as bad. Just don't sleep with Cagalli please.

Minyinal is correct with the pricing. 32.5k tax is disgusting; if I had to pay, I would rather go somewhere else. there are plenty of other shops to choose from....
