Field Diary
NEO TOKYO is a luxury Yoshiwara soapland selling 120 minutes for an all-in ¥65,000 (listed regular ¥80,000) with every nomination fee included. Here's how the eight-day web window and six-day phone window work, why foreign guests can't book online and get a nationality check at the counter, and why the English page asks ¥85,000.

First Lady is a budget Yoshiwara soapland that opens at 7 a.m. (6 a.m. on weekends). This is a dawn-shift plan: the free Uguisudani shuttle, the free-pick coupons at ¥14,000, ¥17,000 and ¥22,000, the ¥1,000 newcomer deal, a new bring-your-own-cosplay option, and why the English listing asks ¥49,000 for the 80 minutes that cost ¥26,000 in Japanese.
Field Diary
A midweek read of Aimable's (エマーブル) live board in Yoshiwara: who was open at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7, who was already sold out by noon, the three newcomers, the ¥1,000 review discount and how the Heaven points really work, from a New Yorker who plans a soapland trip the way he plans a Knicks ticket.
Field Diary
Garter Princess & Mrs is a budget Yoshiwara soapland open 10:00 to 24:00 with a garter-belt dress code, 60 minutes from ¥29,000 on its Japanese listing and ¥39,000 on its English one. I went on a Sunday morning, did the math on three price sheets and a coupon, and wrote down what the money buys.
Field Diary
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.
Field Diary
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.
Field Diary
CLUB39, the Thank-you Group's Yoshiwara soapland, reopened on October 2, 2026 after a maintenance day. It posts 60 minutes from ¥19,000 on its Japanese pages and ¥39,000 on its foreign-visitor page. Here is what each list buys, plus the ¥1,000 early-morning discount and the daily ¥39 lottery.
Field Diary
A late-morning first visit to Awa no Dendoshi, a basement soapland with just two rooms near Ikebukuro's west exit: 60-minute prices that rise with the clock, a ¥19,000 all-in 40-minute nominated coupon before noon, a sixth-anniversary online discount, and why small can be the point.
Field Diary
Camomile is a high-class Yoshiwara soapland at Senzoku 4-47-12 with a ¥30,000 110-minute bath fee, a 33-woman roster almost entirely aged 20 to 22 and free pickup from six stations. A New Yorker plans a first visit and finds a line on the official site that ends the plan: the shop does not accept customers from overseas.
Field Diary
Aimable (エマーブル) is a Yoshiwara soapland at Senzoku 4-22-3 that posts all-in prices: ¥45,000 for 100 minutes on the regular course, down to ¥39,000 with a Cityheaven coupon and up to ¥85,000 for its Premium tier. A New Yorker works through every rate, the booking windows and the four pickup points to find the smartest first visit.
