Tobita Shinchi on Christmas Eve

Starting tonight (12/24, Christmas Eve), Tobita Shinchi will extend its operating hours until 1:00 AM, lasting until 1/4.

  • In previous years, the extended hours lasted until 1/5, so this year is one day shorter.

  • If you visit before midnight, you can spend Christmas Eve with one of the girls.

  • Some "Meisters" (managers) have even advertised this to attract regular patrons.

Opening hours:
Some establishments (料亭) may open as early as 10:00 AM.

  • Observations this morning showed that around 10 establishments were already open by 10:00 AM.

  • These early shifts are typically staffed by "dekasegi" girls—those who come from other parts of Japan to work temporarily.

  • Most of them are new faces.

  • According to some staff (ババ), the regular girls who stay year-round usually begin their shifts around 3:00 PM.

Important notes:

  • Tonight, trains will not have extended services. If you plan to enjoy yourself until 1:00 AM and live far away, taxis will be your only option for returning home.

Christmas costumes:
For the holiday season, girls are allowed to choose whether or not to wear Christmas outfits.

  • There are no restrictions from the establishments.

  • The usual rule of “not having too many girls in similar outfits at the same establishment” is also relaxed.

  • This means multiple girls at the same venue may wear Christmas outfits.

  • If you return to choose, pay close attention to avoid confusion.

Merry Christmas to all, and enjoy the festive season! 🎄
