Don't Be Misled: Are Online Adult Service Platforms Really Useful?

Japan has many comprehensive online platforms for adult entertainment information. On these websites, people can find introductions to various establishments and even information about the workers. For Japanese people who enjoy visiting these places, these platforms are an essential source of information.

However, did you know that these platforms are completely meaningless for foreigners? No matter how thoroughly you study the content on these websites, it’s just a waste of time (haha). In this article, we will explain why these adult entertainment platforms are useless to you and how you can still have a perfect experience in Japan!

What are online adult entertainment information platforms?Japan has various types of adult entertainment establishments, such as the "soaplands," often referred to as the king of adult services, "outcall services," "hotel outcall services," "erotic massages," "in-store services," and "handjob specialty shops." Japan offers a wide variety of adult services and establishments, making it one of the few developed countries with a booming adult entertainment industry. But do you know how Japanese people search for these places when they want to visit?

The correct answer is by browsing online adult entertainment information platforms. These websites provide information on different establishments, allowing users to easily check prices and services. You can even view profiles and photos of the women available for service.

Most platforms consolidate price information from various establishments, and users can search for their preferred spots based on region and service type. Some websites even feature popularity rankings for both establishments and workers. Many Japanese people use these platforms with the simple mindset of visiting the top-ranked establishments.

Why do Japanese people always use online adult entertainment information platforms?

Adult entertainment establishments, as expected, offer adult services. In fact, advertisements for adult products and services are strictly regulated and cannot be posted on Google, Facebook, or most SNS platforms. Additionally, these establishments are prohibited from putting up flyers or handing out promotional materials on the street.

Since they cannot advertise online or offline, it's difficult for adult entertainment establishments to attract a large number of customers solely through their own efforts. As a result, "paying to advertise on adult entertainment information platforms to attract customers" is a common promotional strategy in the industry.

From the customer's perspective, it's much faster and more convenient to search and compare different establishments' prices and services on a comprehensive information platform rather than browsing individual websites.

Benefits of online adult entertainment information platforms:

• For adult entertainment establishments: ⇛ More effectively attract a large number of customers.

• For customers: ⇛ Easily obtain and compare information about different establishments.

Popular Adult Entertainment Information Platforms

Here are some of the major online adult entertainment information platforms in Japan:

○シティヘブン
○ぴゅららば
○風俗じゃぱん
○カクブツ
○口コミ風俗情報局

These are some of the most well-known adult entertainment information platforms frequently used by Japanese people. Due to space limitations, not all popular websites can be listed here. Some platforms focus on a single type of establishment, and the sheer number of sites available can be overwhelming.

Browsing adult entertainment information platforms is just a waste of time for you!

I believe that most readers of this article are foreigners. Here, I have some bad news to announce.

「Although it’s unfortunate, browsing adult entertainment information platforms is completely meaningless for you.」

If you're only interested in looking at photos of beautiful women, then browsing adult entertainment platforms is a good option. However, if your goal is to "find the establishment you want to visit and the woman you like," I can guarantee that this method of searching will be completely useless for you.

①Most adult entertainment establishments have a "No Foreigners" policy.

Over 90% of adult entertainment establishments in Japan refuse to serve foreigners. Even if you use translation software to understand the website and successfully make a reservation online, many places will turn you away once they find out you're a foreigner.

You might be excited to meet the woman you've chosen, only to be refused at the door by the establishment—what a disappointment...

In other words, if you're eager to experience Japan's adult entertainment services, you'll need to focus on finding the remaining 10% of establishments that don't reject foreigners. However, adult entertainment information platforms do not indicate which establishments accept foreigners, so even if you spend a lot of time researching online, it's difficult to find these 10%.

Additionally, most of the highly-ranked and popular establishments on these platforms don't serve foreigners. Well-known establishments are already overwhelmed with Japanese customers, and due to concerns about potential misunderstandings caused by language barriers, there's no real benefit for these popular places to cater to foreigners.

From the worker's perspective, would you prefer to work in a place that only serves Japanese customers or a place that receives tourists from around the world? Naturally, the former environment feels more secure. To retain high-quality female staff and prevent them from switching to other establishments, most places choose to refuse foreign customers.

Fun Fact: How to Identify Special Pricing for Foreign Customers?

Most soaplands list separate bathing and service fees, and even for first-timers, this pricing system can be difficult to understand. What's more complicated is the special pricing for foreign customers. Establishments in Yoshiwara that do serve foreigners typically have a separate pricing structure for non-Japanese customers, who are charged extra fees.

So, how can you check for the special pricing for foreign customers? The answer is... you can only ask the staff directly. Adult entertainment information platforms do not display pricing specifically for foreigners, and most establishments’ official websites don’t have an English version either. Many foreigners may find this surprising, but the reason is that if word gets out that an establishment serves foreigners, many local customers who are opposed to this might stop visiting. Therefore, most establishments choose not to create an English version of their website.

The extra fees for foreign customers vary by establishment, but on average, it's about 30% more than the standard rate. Most adult entertainment establishments give this additional fee entirely to the female staff member serving the foreign customer.

Many Japanese people are quite xenophobic and strongly oppose adult entertainment establishments that cater to foreigners.

② Foreigners Cannot Make Advance Reservations

Even if you manage to navigate the language barrier and the complexities of making a reservation, most establishments in Japan do not allow foreigners to make advance bookings for specific workers.

 It's also a common tactic for adult entertainment establishments to tell foreign customers, "The girl you requested suddenly isn't feeling well." This is just another excuse often used to avoid serving foreign clients...

③ There are many shady establishments as well.

To be honest, not all adult entertainment establishments in Japan are trustworthy, and some are notorious for being shady. Examples include the girl who shows up looking completely different from her profile picture, being 20 years older than claimed, or using Chinese women pretending to be Japanese workers.

Browsing adult entertainment information platforms won’t help you distinguish these shady establishments. While many platforms have user review sections, do you really think you can rely on these reviews to identify a bad establishment? In reality, many shady businesses regularly change their names to erase negative reviews, making it hard to judge based solely on the information found on these platforms.

How Foreigners Can Enjoy Adult Entertainment Services in Japan

If you're feeling super disappointed at this point and thinking, "Ah... does that mean only Japanese people can enjoy Japan's adult entertainment services?"—then you're completely mistaken!!

We recommends using the "Japan Nightlife Service." This service offers the best bubble bath experience for guests from oversea.

Japan Insider's Adult Entertainment Referral Service

To ensure a safe and enjoyable adult entertainment experience, we not only introduces clients to reputable establishments, but our team members also meet with each guest in person and guide them around Yoshiwara. In addition to booking services, we act as your private guide to ensure the best possible experience.

Although our team members are Japanese, they all speak Chinese, so there’s no need to worry about any language barriers!

We aim to provide the best possible experience for every client. For example, we use pre-service questionnaires to understand client preferences and find the most suitable women. Afterward, we gather feedback and compile data on the girls' performance, ensuring even better experiences for future clients.

Many guests have commented that our pre-service questionnaire is just like the ordering process at Ichiran Ramen.

Since we serve many customers daily, we are highly familiar with the girls working in Yoshiwara—their real ages, appearances, and service quality (based on other customers' reviews)—all of this is information that our referral service has at hand.

Many Japanese who frequent adult entertainment venues have also had bad experiences, as mentioned earlier. Most establishments believe that "foreigners = one-time customers," which means that foreign customers often receive worse service compared to Japanese patrons. For example, foreigners are typically left with a selection of less popular girls. However, our "Japan Nightlife Service" greatly reduces the chances of a disappointing experience for our clients.

By offering personalized recommendations, detailed insights, and ensuring a high-quality experience, we make sure our clients avoid common pitfalls and enjoy a more satisfying service.

Fun Fact: Why Do We Only Recommend Soapland in Yoshiwara?

Many readers ask us why we don’t recommend other adult services like outcall services. The truth is, we used to offer introductions to outcall services in the past, but we've since discontinued that. Here are the main reasons why:

• Soapland, often referred to as the "King of Adult Services," offers one of the highest satisfaction levels for customers.

• Compared to other services like outcall, more Soapland establishments are willing to accept foreign customers.

• Yoshiwara, though a small area, is home to around 150 Soapland venues in close proximity, making it easier for customers to find a shop they like.

• Outcall services that accept foreigners often vary greatly in quality. To ensure a better experience for our clients, we no longer recommend outcall services.

Conclusion

This article introduced Japan's popular online adult service platforms and explained why browsing these sites is practically pointless for foreign customers. How do you feel after reading this?

Remember, the shop itself isn't the most important factor in having a great experience—it’s the quality of the lady providing the service. Even at a highly popular and well-designed venue with luxurious interiors, the key to a great experience is the service from the lady herself.

That’s why we take the time to understand each customer’s preferences and match them with the right person. Our goal is for every client to leave fully satisfied. We want to hear you say, “Thanks to the Japanese Insider!” or “I’m so glad I used the introduction service!”
