Gay Japan

This week I found a new favorite spot just outside of Tokyo - Chichibu. I went mainly because there is this very cool train - Laview - that runs from Ikebukuro to Chichibu. I didn’t know much about the place itself, but I fell in love with it. One of the best things about it is that there is an onsen right next to the train station. It’s part of the station complex, which includes a food hall, bear and sake bar and a gift/souvenir shop. My question is about cruising at onsen. Does it happen? If so, how and where does it go? I went up to Chichibu on Tuesday and then returned yesterday. There were several hot guys in the onsen. Quite a few were openly showing…

I know that Japan does not have a tradition of tipping. In general, tips are not expected for servers in restaurants, tour guides, or hotel staff. Does this extend to boys from brothels? Do boys expect or appreciate gratuities? Thank you for your advice!

Planning a trip for the end of this year and am planning to get a massage..with full hard happy ending (thinking Olive Salon or Redline?), and another appointment for an Escort place (Gym-k?). Do those places sound good? I am wondering if they prefer younger customers? I am white and will be 54 soon. I will be working out and dieting to lean up for the trip, which was totally worth it last year when I went to Thailand and my VERY muscular massage guy complimented my stomach area after I said how muscular he was. What I am trying to say is I am in decent shape but I am worried about my age. I'll be travelling with my taiwanese boyfriend who just turned 50, b…

Short trip report for Tokyo and Osaka. Tokyo I tried Chance in Shinjuku-okubo to see a guy I have had my sights set on since I started planning my trip. The Chance reservation system worked well and the meeting point i was given was a small residential alley where i had to call the number provided for him to come out and fetch me. I will say the location wasn't the easiest, I was a little late because i got lost transferring in Shinjuku station then trying to find the right alley. The guy was great, friendly and exactly as pictured (he does porn so i already knew). The condom he had for me didn't fit but i had my own, decent bottom after some initial diffi…

Qantas are doing a sale and their direct fares are too good to pass up. I don't have much confidence they'll actually go ahead because due to the Iran situation. It will be my 1st time in Japan so I'm looking at basing myself in Tokyo and seeing as much as I can for a 2 week period. If anyone stayed at a Airbnb that they'd actually go back to anytime, I'd like to know. Reading previous posts, Airbnb's can be littered with land mines for newbies.

I can't help wondering (useless exercise, I know) how much further the ¥ will fall against other major currencies. When I first visited 45 years ago, the rate was US$1=¥250. Over the next decade, the US administration worked hard on getting Japan to revalue its currency. By the time I went to work in Tokyo the rate against the dollar was about ¥159. By the time I left it was up to ¥121. It then hovered for quite a number of years reaching its all-time high of ¥76 in August 2011. Pre-covid it was around ¥110. Since 2022 it began its major decline. Great for visitors, though, as prices in the country are geared to the local population rather than tourists. And even for tour…

As the Japan tourism industry continues to suffer from the ill-advised remarks by the right-wing Prime Minister on the Taiwan issue, an issue avoided publicly by all previous heads of government, the country's right wing militarists are delighted at the possibility that the Constitution might be changed. Written, it must be remembered, by the Americans and now part of Trump's ever-changing international interference as he wants this Constitution changed, Clause 9 states - “Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes” But many Japanese are totally against such …

Today is my last day in Japan. I had a great trip. Lots of adventures and lots of fun with the boys. I wanted to share some random tips for anyone coming for a visit. Each time I come here I love it more and I definitely will be back. Suica Card - this is a lifesaver. If you have an iPhone, you have Suica on your phone already under transit cards in your Apple Wallet. There are others, but I use Suica and can recommend it. Just add it to your Apple Wallet and then you can link it to a credit or debit card. Add cash and use it for trains (just tap in and tap out), convenience stores and many other things. It will save you standing in lines at ticket machines and …

I am for 1 week in Tokyo and one man from RedLine has caught my eyes. Does anybody have experience with Redline in Tokyo? https://www.redline03.com/top/ My main question is if the guys only offer massages or sex as well? It is not clear on the website as the boys profiles mention whether they are tops or bottoms? Thanks

After a ten days in Bangkok and Pattaya, I flew to Japan for another ten day visit, 6 of which were with family and friends. That gave me some time to explore options. I had read the forum topic on boy brothels which intrigued me. I had long ago head of King College but had no experience of it or what are a multitude of others. Without too much exploring I identified the following: chanceosaka,jp kids-jp.com Fragrance-boy.com gym-k.com izakspa.com heroes-Tokyo-jp redline03.com urisen-next.com topboy.yoyyo olive-salon.net/staff jam-so11.com dgdgdg.com (Danshi Gauken) I am sure there are more, just depen…

I'll be in Tokyo and planned a 9 hr layover so I could try one of the massage/escort places that offer their private rooms for this Friday. I've lost track of which place is which, I was planning to use Jam, but all of the guys I was interested in aren't available or on holiday. If you look at the Jam site, it pretty much has my "types" of guys....I'm into shorter brown skin tops, btw https://www.jam-2014.com/cast/

In the spirit of research, I returned to 24 Kaikan last night to see how Thursday night compared to Wednesday. I arrived about the same time - 6:30 ish. The wet room was empty when I walked in, so I washed and got in the bath. It seemed much quieter. I moved to the dry sauna. A few guys were there. One Japanese guy was sitting across from me. He began making a jerkoff motion to me. I wasn’t really sure what he wanted, but we started playing with each other. Smallish cock, big thick body. He wanted to suck me off with a condom. I told him I wasn’t ready. I had just arrived. I saw one repeat customer. The night before, I had seen this guy standing in one of the sh…

I’m still in Tokyo, I’ve been in Japan about 4 weeks now, it’s been raining, it’s crowded as hell, and I’m beginning to get bored. I did a 33 temple pilgrimage in Nagoya which was really an adventure, and returning to “normal” has been a letdown. Going back and forth on whether to hire a guy but also don’t want a mediocre experience…. People continue to hit me up on Grindr that I am not interested in. I go to sentos and see these people Japanese guys and fantasize… and then this guy hits me up on Grindr. “Daddy’s boy 21” he asks if I like kinky boys. He has a nice cock, beautiful ass and is really cute. I ask what kinky means, he says piss, shit, groups, blah blah bl…

Hi all, I would be going Japan in about 1 week+ time for the sakura season. Towards the end of my trip, I would have a few days to myself in Tokyo and I would like to engage some of the boys. I would like to thank the forum when I went to Bangkok back in Feb for information before engaging the boys. I hope to receive good information here too. For context, I enjoy kissing, cuddling, boyfriend like experience as well as boys who are more toned or muscular. As a start, I had begun to email Gym-k and Re:Born for enquiries on boys already. However, there are some queries I hope you all can help me with. 1. I would like to ask if it would be better to stay in a hotel or a…

In a previous post, I recommended Hotel Shu, an Airbnb building that you can also find on Booking.com. I stayed there before I went to Nagoya. The unit was small, but the location was very convenient. I just returned to Tokyo after a few weeks in Nagoya and returned to Hotel Shu. They had me in a different unit. When I entered, there was a horrible smell - kind of like a wet dog/body odor/smelly feet. I opened the window and door and messaged them. We went back and forth - they told me to use the deoderizing spray and open the window. They said the smell was not coming from the unit because the cleaner was just there. Finally I said I was paying over $2,000 for …

I’ve been in Japan for a few weeks - two weeks in Nagoya now. I’m here doing a 33 Kannon temple pilgrimage, which has been an amazing experience, but I know that’s not what you guys want to know about (but PM me if you want to know more). Because I have been doing a lot of walking, I have been trying to hit onsens/sentos whenever I can. There are some really great ones here and they are much cheaper than in Tokyo. Not much English available, so it’s been a challenge, even though I can speak some Japanese and lived here for 6 years (and have been back often). Sentos make me horny. Ok, so Nagoya. Grindr has been a bust. As soon as my Shinkans…

Hello everyone, I'm very new to this forum, but I have read through a lot of existing posts and the community is amazing and offers a lot of brilliant advice. I visited Tokyo for 8 days in Febuary and thought it would make a good first post. I apologise for my writing style in advance as I am not 100% fluent. I read through a lot of the posts in the Japan sub-forum and reviewed a lot of the options in preparation my visit. An Independence On my second night in Tokyo, I pre-booked Haruki from An Independence for a 2 hours out-call. Although a small part of his face was covered, he looked very attractive and it looked like he had an amazing bo…

I’ve been in Tokyo for the past week and heading to Nagoya on Monday for about 3 weeks. I’ve been having fun and thought I’d report on a massage place I found along with a few other adventures. Grindr has been pretty steady, but the older I get, the pickier I get, so I haven’t really been interested in most of the guys who have contacted me. A few I was interested in turned out to be flakes (one I remember from my last trip who I blocked - he pulled the old “I was on a work call” bit that he pulled on me last year, so I blocked him again). I did meet one really hot Japanese guy who I think is my neighbor. He came by for a blow job and had some lovely sensitive nipple…

I'm planning a trip back to Japan in the spring and will be in Nagoya for about three weeks. I've been going through all of the threads and found a few agencies with offices there, but wondering if anyone has been and has any recommendations.

Would the guys from boy agencies or massage salons generally allow you to take pictures with them or of them? What would be acceptable practice?

Wednesday evening I sent an email to Re:Born to schedule a session for today (Saturday) with a guy I saw back in February. I had the best time with him and truly believed him when he told me he loved me, so I wanted to see him again to discuss our marriage plans. I tried to be as clear as possible in my email. I gave them the date, time, length of session, preferred provider and two choices for the room - 1st choice the club room, 2nd choice the gym room. They replied to my email on Thursday morning. Even though Sakaki was listed as being available from 14:00, which is the time I requested, they wrote back to say he was not available until 14:30 because of …

Hello! Thank you for checking this out and offering any and all experiences, tips, and guides. I'm a first time traveler going to Tokyo, Japan for 2 weeks wanting to explore the GMPD culture there. Here are some facts about myself: 29 Only knows English, but learning basic phrases and words 'P' in the GMPD community Want to experience clubs, saunas, and cruise areas Bottom but more emphasis on oral Some things I'd like to learn from other people's experiences/opinions are: Places to buy Jockstraps & Spats? Or are they mainly online only? Apps to use? I mainly use growlr + sniffies clubs, saunas, and cru…

Hello gentlemen. I’ve just got one question. I’ll be in Japan soon for a brief 29 hour trip. I know that I’m supposed to submit my hotel info on the Japan Web form. My question is, since i will be staying at a private room with a male escort through his escort agency do i need to put the address for the escort service or should i make a cheap booking at a hotel and just list that even though i won’t be there except to checkin/out. Thanks.

Two days before the 2011 9.1 mega earthquake off Japan's east coast near Sendai which devastated much of that part of the country, a 7.3 quake had occurred off the east coast of Iwate province, very close to the area of the Sendai quake. Two days ago another less powerful quake hit Aomori province in the north of the country. But 7.5 is still a major quake and there are fears that as in 2011 this might be the prelude to another mega quake in the region. The one that most earthquake watchers are waiting for is a mega quake virtually under Tokyo similar to the Great Kanto quake of 1923. Although it was only 8.0 on the Richter scale, it was followed within the spa…

I’ve been in Japan for about 7 weeks now and I’ve been to a lot of non-gay onsen and sentos. It seemed to me that there was some cruising going on but I couldn’t quite figure it out. I saw lots of semi-hard cocks and even a few full-on boners, and of course a lot of really beautiful asses. I have to say Japanese young men have the most amazing asses (I don’t know what happens to them when they get older, but they definitely look like deflated tires). And while I’m not sure the white boys I’ve seen were all straight, I saw some incredible asses on some of the white boys at Thermae Yu, who I assumed were straight just by the way they looked and acted. Since it’s gotten…
