Gay Japan

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…

Is there any issue taking a Grindr, 9 Monster or rentboy up to you room and past the front desk in most hotel. In general and at the APA Hotel Shinjuku Gyoemmae?

Hey everyone, I know there are plenty of places in Osaka for the usual (sensual) oil massages, but I’m really looking for the real deal: proper gel-based nuru or those foamy “soap” style body washes. Not the standard oil massage, but the ones that are known for being a bit more unique. Ideally somewhere in or around Osaka city. Bonus if they can handle some basic English. Clean, straightforward places with clear pricing would be perfect. If you know a spot that actually offers this, it’d be great to hear the name. Any tips on what to expect or etiquette are also super helpful. Thanks a lot!

Going to Japan soon Anyone has the locations in Tokyo and Osaka for gay twink massage? And also please some info how it works. Like do I need to make a reservation online first?

I’m not really sure where to put this issue but I’m hoping you don’t mind if I ask here and maybe others can benefit from the answers though I don’t think this is only a Japan issue. I need to call my insurance company to tell them not to ship medication while I’m away. I forgot I had an automatic refill set up. I tried calling yesterday but it wasn’t during normal business hours because of time differences, so I got a message to call back during certain hours. When I tried again later, during their normal business hours, I am unable to make a call. Not just to them, but to anyone. I have an iPhone with an eSIM. My phone is set up for WiFi calling. …

I haven't been to the body scrubs in Japan but I know it exists, yet never understood how it works. I hear it is done by old women in private area. Is anybody familiar with it and can explain the process? Also I really want to try normal massage places where gay guys do it. I don't want full sex or anything but a bit more intimate touches and teases. I know it exists but not sure which ones. Anyone with experience?

Perhaps it's appropriate than some sort of 10-year milestone has been reached. it was only in 2015 that the up-scale Shibuya ward in Tokyo introduced a same-sex partnership system. Now 529 other local governments have implemented a smiliar system. Little more than 7% remain. But the benefits for Japan's gay couples remain poor compared to other countries. Japan remains the only country in the Group of 7 not to have legalised gay marriage. So far, while the current partnership certification system gives LGBT couples certain rights and access to a limited number of public services, they are still not legally valid! Yet a collaborative study by Shibuya Ward and Ni…

To complete my research, I went to 24 Kaikan in ni-chome today to see what it was like on a Wednesday afternoon. My goal for this week was to try to go after 5, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. I got there around 3 and left around 6:30, so I can report on what it was like. When I arrived, there were only a few guys in the bath area and just a few wandering around in the back. No one was interested in me. The seemed mostly Japanese. It was pretty boring for a while. Then I took a chance with a guy in the dry sauna who was lying on his back with his dick exposed. When I touched him and he didn’t brush me away, I went ahead and started sucking him. Whil…

Just when you think you’re about to do it right, and it will be a simple affair… When I made my booking with Re:Born, I provided what I thought was all of the relevant information they needed. I ended up with an email exchange that went on for about 30 back and forth emails and in the end, they didn’t provide the correct address and I went to the wrong place. I just made a booking for Tuesday with Yutaka (Toyo) - again, why two names? https://gym-k.com/sp/prof_yutaka.html I completed the form with name, address, phone, time, etc. They wrote back asking me to confirm the information I provided and wanted to know if it was a hotel. I told them it w…

Japan Report I had fun a several places in Osaka and Tokyo. Osaka Urisen-next.com. Some have said there boys are younger, will most of these place just have younger. Was doing this one on short notice, so picked a boy that would meet my need and looked good. Reservation was done with email, prompt replies. At the appointed time the Manager met me out side a subway station entrance. I had to wait about 5 minutes. On to the apartment, pair the fee, boy came into room, looked like his pic. Then preceded to the shower and mouthwash routine. All was going good. Went back to the bed, some light kissing, and then it went downhill…

Today I met Yutaka, who is also listed as Toyo, from Gym K. This agency has more men who are my type than the kids/boys agencies. I met Yutaka when I was here in February and he was one of the best tops I ever had sex with, so I decided to go with a sure thing since my success rate with the agencies is about 50%. After much back and forth on email, they were finally satisfied that he would be able to find my apartment in the maze where I live. A few minutes before our scheduled time today at 2, I got an email from them asking again for the name of the building. I told them I asked the host and there was no name. Thinking he might be near but lost, I went downstairs a…

Continuing my research, I wanted to see how 24 Kaikan was on Monday afternoon, to compare it to Friday and Saturday. I had a friend once tell me that Monday was the best day for the baths and sex clubs (when they still existed) because people who didn’t score on the weekend were looking. I wanted to see if that was true. I also thought that some places are closed on Monday, so some people might go because it’s their day off. First I went to Thermae Yu, the fancy sento/onsen in Kabukicho. I saw a few nice asses and semi-hard cocks and I definitely suspect something goes on there, but I can’t figure out what or how. I left there and walked over to 24 Kaikan. I ch…

It hit me yesterday that I only have two weeks left in Japan and even though I’ve been having enough free fun, I decided it’s time to start paying for some quality sex. When I was here in January/February, I hired 5-6 guys and about half of them were totally worth it. I wanted to hire the older big dick bodybuilder, Toyo, from Gym K, but he was only available yesterday and not today (Sunday). Since I’d just come from the sauna, I didn’t want to pack everything into one day, so I decided instead to try out Monster: Big Dick Specialist. The one who caught my eye was Hayato, a straight top with 19 cm who also does massage. I filled out the form and requested a business…

I had a date set up with the big dicked Malay guy I met last Friday at the sauna, but he called in sick. I was kind of relieved, because he said he wanted to stay overnight (I told him I couldn’t sleep with people in my bed, which is true). I am not sure if he was really sick or if something came up. He said he wants to see me next Saturday. Since I only have two more weeks left in Japan, I decided to return to 24 Kaikan in ni-chome to do more “research”. I wanted to see how it compared to Friday, since I was there yesterday and had a good time. I arrived about 2:30. Again, I looked for a machine to check in and there was none. The grumpy older clerk was no…

I returned to 24 Kaikan in ni-chome because I needed to complete my research I realized last Friday was Pride weekend and maybe it was so busy because everyone was in town for Pride, so it really wasn’t a fair comparison with Ueno on a Friday afternoon. I found this great (legit) massage place in Nogata, where I was staying before, and have been going every Friday. Last Friday, after the massage, I went to Thermae Yu for a soak but that just made me horny, so today I went straight to 24 Kaikan after a quick lunch. I got the usual icy reception from the guy at the desk. My “konnichiwa” was not acknowledged. I’ve given up expecting a warm welcome. As long as he …

I’ve been in Tokyo for 5 weeks now. Having a wonderful time and while I’m not having sex every day, I have definitely had more action in 5 weeks here than I have in a year in the SF Bay Area where I live. So far I only paid once. I’ve met a few guys on Grindr - one looks like he’ll be a regular, had a little luck in the toilets in Shinjuku station and have also had a lot of fun at 24 Kaikan in Shinjuku. Today I went to Thermae Yu, an onsen/spa complex in Kabukicho after an amazing massage in the morning. But as happens when I got to these places, I see hot bodies and nice dicks and I get horny. I decided I would go to 24 Kaikan to see if I fared any better than I did…

When I lived here in the 90s, I had a lot of fun in the toilets in Shinjuku Station and the BYGS building in ni-chome. When I came back 20 years later, in 2015, I thought Grindr and security cameras had put an end to all of that. On this trip, out of curiosity, I stopped by the toilet in Shinjuku Station and found it was still cruisy. Nothing happened on that first visit. Since then, every time I’m in the station, I have stopped by there, just to see what is going on. Today, Saturday, I went to Thermae Yu, a sento/onsen/spa where I think things might happen, but so far I’ve not had any luck. After seeing some beautiful young bodies, I was horny and on my way home, st…

I’m in Tokyo for two months. I retired a year ago, and the US is too crazy right now (plus, I get bored at home), so I came here for a little sanity. I’m trying to hold off on hiring guys and have been exploring places I’ve never been before, like the Glory Hole Place (Suck’d Glory) and other saunas. The toilet in Shinjuku Station where I used to get lucky back in the 90s is still active, though the guys I’ve seen there are not really my type. Anyway, one thing I’ve noticed is there are a lot of guys from Nepal. I met one in 24 Kaikan who then found me on Grindr and said he wanted to meet again (but when I saw him again this past Saturday, he wasn’t interested). Two …

I’m here in Tokyo for two months and while I’m not having sex every day, I am definitely having more than I have in the sexual desert of the SF Bay Area (mainly because of where I live + my age). I could hire guys, but my experience with that has been mixed, and it can get expensive. But I know there is one guy I definitely want to hire (I saw him last time and it was the most satisfying sex), but I’m waiting until I really need a good fuck. In the meantime, I’m relying on Grindr and 24 Kaikan in Shinjuku. Initially, I wasn’t going to write about this encounter because maybe it’s not that interesting. But for what it’s worth… When I first arrived, I had sev…

Hey guys, I wanted to do a quick report about 24 Kaikan Ueno and Shinjuku. Might be like comparing apples and oranges because I went on different days, but for what it’s worth, if anyone is wondering which one to choose, here’s my most recent experience. On Friday I stopped by the one in Ueno. I decided to check it out because I’d heard it was for a more mature crowd and those who admire them. I think I got there around 2 p.m. Maybe not the best time. There were a few guys soaking in the baths, a few in the mist sauna and a few upstairs in the beds. One or two of them appealed to me, but I didn’t make a move because I hate when my hand is brushed away. I fi…

I’m back in Tokyo for two months. So far, I haven’t done too much because a friend is here until May 15, and I’m showing her around, but today I had an interesting experience. I was looking at Sniffies.com and noticed some places nearby - one was a place with glory holes. After searching the web, I found their website: http://www.suckdglorytokyo.com/english/ and sent out to find it. It is in Nakano, a short walk from the station. The directions are clear. My ability to follow directions is not always the best. If you decide you want to check it out, when they say turn right past the dry cleaners, they mean make a sharp right. It looks like an…

From Reuters / The Nation About 30 % of first-time users in Japan of offshore online casinos became indebted within a week after starting gambling at the sites, a Japanese survey has shown. "I'm astonished at the speed," said Noriko Tanaka, representative director of the Society Concerned about the Gambling Addiction. "We need drastic measures, such as cutting off access from Japan" to foreign online casino services, she emphasized. In Japan, professional baseball players and show business people were found to have played online gambling, causing controversy as the illegality of the practice was not widely known.…

Hello fellow connoisseurs of sexy guys. I've had the pleasure of posting and getting feedback while on the first part of my trip in Bangkok. Now that I've made it to Tokyo it makes sense to share my experiences here. Since I'm starting this thread anew I hope you'll indulge a bit of content about my points/miles redemptions. Now let's get to brass tax. I arrived at Tokyo Narita airport at around 6am and my hotel check in at the Hyatt Regency was not until 2pm so I decided to be leisurely and methodical in my movements as not to rush or make mistakes in this place that is new to me. Ate some sashimi at the airport for breakfast and made my way to the train stat…
