Four Season, Yoshiwara: The Men's Esthe Soapland That Says 'Japan Customers Only' in Plain English, and Three Booking Clocks

Four Season is a Yoshiwara soapland at Senzoku 4-16-5 that sells itself as the first shop to fuse men's-esthe oil massage with soap service, at ¥33,000 for 80 minutes, ¥39,000 for 100 and ¥45,000 for 120. Its official price page also says, in English, 'Japan customers only,' so I read the menu, the members' card math and three different booking clocks instead of booking.

Excellent Room Rei, Yoshiwara: A New Yorker Does the Math on an All-In Soapland Bill, Then Finds Bullet Point Six

Excellent Room Rei is a standard Yoshiwara soapland at Senzoku 4-18-1 that prints all-in, tax-included prices: ¥36,000 for 90 minutes, ¥50,000 for 120 and ¥61,000 for 150, with no nomination fee and the 60-minute course dropped on September 1, 2026. I ran the numbers on a Friday morning, and then read the house rules, which list foreigners among the guests it refuses.
