Licensed deriheru, soapland & mens esthe venues — your trusted multilingual directory!
A transparent directory for informed, safe choices
Japan Escort Guide is a multilingual information directory of Japan's licensed adult entertainment venues — deriheru, soapland, and mens esthe — made for inbound travelers and foreign residents. Service-type differences, opaque pricing, and industry jargon often make first visits stressful. We publish vetted venue data and cultural context in five languages so that readers can make informed, safe choices.
Every venue and article on this site passes the following review standards.
We only list venues that pass four checks: verified existence, valid Fueiho (Amusement Business Act) license, service quality, and capacity to serve non-Japanese speakers. Venues that do not comply with Fueiho, or that engage in activities restricted under the Anti-Prostitution Act, are excluded.
We disclose course rates, nomination (shimei) fees, hon-shimei fees, option charges, transportation fees, and admission (kaikin) fees wherever possible. Prices change, so we recommend confirming directly with the venue before visiting.
Industry terms (shimei, hon-shimei, option, course, extension, transportation, etc.) are not literally translated — we explain each service type's fee structure and cultural context in every language. Glossary, FAQ, and Beginner's Guide cross-reference each other for layered understanding.
Store data re-validates as often as every 5 minutes; city, area, and column pages re-validate hourly. Opening hours, prices, and roster data are confirmed with venues on a recurring schedule.
We cover Tokyo (Shinjuku, Kabukicho, Roppongi, Ginza, Yoshiwara), Osaka (Kitashinchi, Namba), Fukuoka (Nakasu), Sapporo (Susukino), and other major Japanese adult-entertainment areas. Five languages are supported: Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
