Thank you for helping him and sharing this with us. It was a horrible situation and I hope James can recover from the trauma. This serves as a good warning for us. Yes, there were red flags, but it’s very easy to miss them when you are being hit on constantly by really hot guys who would otherwise ignore you at home. No judgement on “James”. This could have been any of us.

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, stopped in the toilet again. This time it was very active. Several younger guys were standing at the urinals and it was clear they were interested in me. One guy went from the urinal to a stall. I followed. He had the door open. I stood there looking to see what he would do because there were still people at the stalls and I didn’t want to be obvious. Some older Japanese guy just came over and stood in front of me - um, hello, you were not invited sir. I signaled to the guy in the stall to go somewhere else. I walked out and he followed. Then I let him lead the way. He took me around the corner to another restroom and went into the handicap stall. I followed. We had a fun time. He had a really nice dick and seriously wanted to get fucked. We just fooled round until he came and then I left. To be honest, I was feeling nervous. I guess the part of my brain that considers consequences hadn’t fully developed in my 30s, but at 65, I was imagining the police dragging me off to jail. Anyway, for those who might be interested. The cruisy toilet in Shinjuku station is right outside of Odakyu Department store. I think the exits are A17 and A18. You’ll know it when you see it. There are usually guys standing outside of it or around the corner. I’m glad to see it is still active. Not sure how much I will actually play there, but back in the day, I met some great guys who became fuck buddies.

Thanks. I thought it was kind of funny that he asked me if his dick lived up to the photo. Well, at least he bought me lunch

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 several guys hit me up on Grindr. One was a kind of nerdy looking Japanese guy who had a really nice dick. Unfortunately, he lived in Saitama prefecture, probably about an hour from where I’m staying. He said he comes to Tokyo sometimes, but also invited me to visit him there. When I was in Kyoto in February, I went to a guy’s apartment and the place smelled like cigarette smoke. He had a huge ashtray that was filled with cigarette butts. I couldn’t wait to leave. Is this a sign of my age that I don’t want to go to someone’s place if they are a messy housekeeper? I was hesitant to travel all of that distance to find myself in a small, smelly apartment with a stranger. But I was horny, so last weekend, I messaged the guy to see if he was available, used Japan Travel app to plot out the route, and set out to Saitama to meet a 27-year-old with a nice dick. The trip was fun. It wasn’t that complicated and I took an express train part of the way, so it went fast. The guy was waiting for me at the station and was cuter in person than in his photos. His English was very good, and exchanges with him were kind of funny. He said things in English that only someone who had lived in the states would say. He seemed to have a good sense of humor. This also came out in person, though I think he might have had some sort of attention deficit disorder because he’d ask me a question and as I started to answer, he’s ask a different question. I found it challenging to talk to him. As we were walking the 10 minutes up and down hills to his place in the 80-degree humidity, he revealed to me that he wasn’t Japanese. He was Cambodian. He thought he had mentioned it in our exchanges, but he hadn’t. It didn’t matter to me. He was tall and thin and cute and kind of funny. By the time we got to his apartment, which was small, but clean and filled with aromatherapy products (so it smelled nice) I was drenched in sweat and exhausted. He had a small kitchen and a bedroom with only a bed to sit on. Well, you know where things went. As I started playing with his dick, it seemed smaller than in the photo. He asked me if it lived up to the photo, which I thought was an odd question, because in fact it didn’t. It was definitely the same cock, but it looked much smaller in person. Did he somehow enlarge it in the photo? Why would he ask me that question. I just said, “hmmm… I need to examine it closer” and went down to suck it. It did not live up to the photo. After we finished, he took me to a cute little Chinese restaurant in his neighborhood. I think he wanted me to stay. He was going to make a desert and bought steak for dinner, but I was ready to return to my spacious Airbnb, so I left. I was glad I went. I got to see a part of Japan I’d never seen before. I got away from the tourist crowds and met a cute, funny, albeit a bit quirky guy. I will probably see him again even though his dick definitely did not live up to the picture. Sorry this isn’t terribly exciting, but I thought I’d share this unusual experience. Maybe someone can explain the dick pic to me.

The one who wanted me to go to his city was actually very hot. My issue was he must have sent me an expiring dick pic, so I didn’t have anything to look at. Even though he did a video call and showed me his dick, it still wasn’t enough for me to want to take several buses to get to where he was. I didn’t understand why he initially told me he was in Takasaki when he wasn’t. And in the end, I was having more fun visiting these interesting, out of the way sites, and it meant I would have had to give up at least a half a day to go meet a stranger. The second guy had a big dick, but in some of the pictures it looked really ugly. If he had been more insistent about coming to where I was, I probably would have said ok. It was a nice adventure, and sometimes it’s not about the sex. What really surprised me was that there was no one on Grindr. There must have been some gay Japanese in the area. How do they meet each other?

Update on the Nepali guys I went to see. The first one, who was really cute, had a nice dick and did a short video call with me, told me he was In Takasaki. When I did a little research about Takasaki, it looked like it might be a good place for a short visit, so I booked 3 nights in a hotel and went up by Shinkansen. When I told him I was going to be there, he then informed me he lived 45 minutes away. As I prepared for my trip, I wasn’t sure if I was going to see him or not, but I figured if I did, it would be a bonus. The other guy who contacted me was in the capital of Gunma, also a short distance away from Takasaki. Well, long story short, I never saw either one of them. But, I had the best time (non-sexual) in Takasaki. I visited three very interesting temples, and absolutely loved the place. It was like Tokyo but without all of the people, and I was definitely one of the few western tourists there. In the end, I was having more fun visiting these amazing sites and didn’t want the hassle of going to some guy’s place for what could be a disappointing encounter. Back in Tokyo now and hoping to have some fun this weekend.

Thanks. Apparently, there are many in Gunma prefecture, where I am headed now. I’ll report back. I’m intrigued.

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 very hot guys messaged me from Gunma prefecture and I decided to spend a few days in Takasaki, Gunma, just to see something else and also see if either of these guys were available to meet. I’m wondering if anyone has had experience with guys from Nepal. What’s the deal with them? Are these guys gay? Are they gay for pay? Am I asking a question about something that is nothing? It just seems odd to me that so many of them would be contacting me on Grindr. Or is it just not odd at all? (I’m just wondering why guys who are so far away would be contacting ME). BTW, there was another guy, also from Nepal, who was very insistent on Grindr. I could see he was far, so I wasn’t really interested. In a case where I am not really interested, I have a saved phrase that I send immediately (helps weed out the scammers) “Show me your dick”. I sent him that and he said he didn’t have any photos, so I told him to take one. He said it was 8 cm. I asked, “8 cm?” To make sure he hadn’t left off a 1. He said it was big. I just kept insisting - take a photo. When he said he wasn’t alone, I told him to go into the bathroom. Normally, I would have just blocked him, but I was having fun in a strange way because the whole interaction was so stupid. Finally, he sent me a photo of a big beautiful cock. But he forgot to crop off the bit at the bottom about where the photo came from (some porn site). I responded with a laughing emoji, but he persisted. Eventually, he did take a photo of his cock. I don’t know if it was 8 cm, but it was small. At that point, I just said, “you lied to me and I can’t trust you” and blocked him. I’m off to Gunma today to see if anything happens, and if it doesn’t, at least I have a few nights in a new place. But, if you have had experience with guys from Nepal, either in Nepal, or in Japan, or anywhere else, I’d love to know your experience.

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 figured I’d signal my interest and let them make the first move. They didn’t. Shy or uninterested? I’ll never know. After going from floor to floor and seeing very few options, I returned to the mist sauna. Two guys were sitting across from each other. One was older and the other, who was right next to me seemed like he was in good shape. I felt like I was interrupting something, so I left. When I returned a few minutes later, they were playing around. I reached over to the guy next to me and he didn’t brush my hand away. We fooled around a little. He was gorgeously built. But then he stood up and motioned for me to follow, so the three of us went back to the showers. I guess I’d misunderstood, because when we arrived, it was clear he wasn’t interested. I just admired him while he showered and left. I don’t know if I would have had better luck at a later time, but I probably won’t return. The crowd seemed 100% Japanese. On Saturday afternoon, it was raining heavily and I decided to spend the afternoon at 24 Kaikan Shinjuku. At least I’d be doing something indoors away from the crowds. A guy I was chatting with on Sniffies told me no one would be there. He was going between 5-6. I’d gone early on the weekend before, so I knew there was a chance I’d meet someone. It was actually pretty busy when I arrived. I fooled around with a few guys in the steam room and then went to take a shower. Some of the showers have glory holes. Through the holes in my shower wall, I could see this hunk on the other side who had some major tattoos. He also had a huge dick. He wasn’t Japanese and I couldn’t really figure out where he was from. When I motioned for him to put his dick through the hole, he did. A nice big uncut piece. It was hard to suck it properly through a glory hole, so I told him to let me in his stall and he did. Then another guy showed up on the other side with an equally nice, though not as fat, uncut dick. My hunk liked to get fucked, and while I fucked him a little, this new dick was better equipped for his big ass. Long story short, I invited him into our shower stall and the three of us played around until the hunk came. It was really hot, in many ways. We were all covered in sweat. After that, and a rest, I played around with a smooth Chinese guy and finally met a Korean guy who fucked me twice. By then, it had gotten very crowded and while there were more choices, there was also more competition, and many of the play areas were taken. I was glad I went early. It seemed to me that the places with more foreign visitors like 24 Kaikan Shinjuku, resulted in better luck for me. Even when I was hot and in my 30’s living in Japan, Japanese tended to be pretty sticky and only attracted to other Japanese, but the foreigners don’t really seem to care. I can’t remember when I’ve had such a hot time. Wondering if anyone has been to Ueno or Asakusa (I used to go there in the 90s because the Shijnjuku location didn’t exist), but for now, I think I’ll stick to going to Shinjuku on weekend afternoons.

I went to Shinjuku ni-chome last week and decided I really wanted a massage, but I wanted one with a cute boy, so I stopped by Tokyo Kids to see if they could help me out. They said they had several boys immediately available who could do massage. He asked me if I wanted top or bottom. The boys who were available were highlighted on the tablet, and then the guy who was helping me (who spoke English btw) clicked on the tops which put them in a special column for me to check out. I looked at dick size and chose the guy with the biggest. He said, “big cock” (by Japanese standards - I think he was 17 or 18 cm). Within a few minutes the boy appeared, got his instructions and told me we had to go to another place. I had a question before about Tokyo Kids vs Shinjuku kids and this answered the question. They are the same, just two locations (and maybe some boys only work at one). So we went from the location in ni-chome (that does have a bar - to answer that dispute) to the one year Shinjuku Gyoen-Mae station. About a 5 minute walk. The boy’s name was Takaaki. He was from Osaka and had been in Tokyo for about 8 months. He had a nice cock which looked big even when soft. We showered together, did the mouthwash ritual and then he gave me a pretty decent, though not professional massage. This led to other things. I asked him if he would cum and he said no. This is the second time with Shinjuku/Tokyo kids where they told me they don’t cum (not so with other agencies I used). As the clock ran out, I was finally able to cum. I think it was 15,000 yen for the boy and use of the room. Not the best experience, but I wanted to answer the question about walk-ins. I think Kings of College also has boys that will line up when you go in. I used them 30 years ago and that is my recollection. Other agencies have told me they don’t have boys on call and needed to make arrangements.

I was in Nakano and decided to try my luck again at Suck’d Glory on the weekend. Went on Sunday around 4 p.m. This time there was no issue getting in. I have noticed that the normally welcoming, friendly greeting you get at every other place in Japan seems to be missing from some of these places - I noticed the same at 24 Kaikan - instead of a hearty, “irasshaimasse!” they don’t even greet you. This time the guy just pointed to the price after I said “konnichiwa” - 1700 yen. I got a towel and a locker key, went past the curtain and mistakenly walked into the little bathroom. Okay,it’s a bit confusing at first. Bear to the right and there is a small bank of lockers. I put the towel in the locker and went past another curtain. I was wearing my shorts, socks and t-shirt because I’d read that you cannot be naked. But once inside the small space, I saw guys were in their underwear, socks I went back and put my shorts and t-shirt in the locker. The space is small. One hallway with “cabins” on one side and at the very end, a little larger space with two vinyl benches. There are glory holes between some of the spaces. Guys were lined up against the wall and because of their bellies and mine, I had to squeeze past (literally). No one touched me as I passed, so it was pretty clear they weren’t interested. In one mirrored space at the very end, a guy was being sucked. Other than that, people were just standing around, looking bored. It was boring. There were about 10 guys there. Other than the guy being sucked, that meant 9 bottoms. I went into one of the cabins and sat on a bench. A guy came in and started rubbing my crotch. Whoops! I guess I was signaling that I wanted to be sucked, when in fact, I was just tired and wanted to sit. Finally, a new guy came in. Everyone else ignored him. He went into the larger space with two benches. I followed. He was wearing a t-shirt and underwear and looked very unapproachable, but I wanted my money’s worth. He had his hands covering his crotch. I knelt down in front of him and started touching his legs. When he didn’t push me away, I figured that was a good sign. I continued touching him and eventually moved my fingers under his hands. I could feel him starting to get hard. We had an enjoyable time. I sucked him off and he came. I stayed a little long and finally left. So, I’ll give it a few stars. It has potential, but there are so many bottoms and so few tops, I’d say only go if you want to get sucked (and let me know, I’ll meet you there).

Oh thanks. I deleted my X account after the fascists took over our government, so I had to rely on other sources. Now that I know where it is, I’ll check it out another night.

Yeah, it was an adventure for sure.

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 alley, but it is a street. So eventually, I found the building and went up to the fourth floor. The guy behind the glass seemed like he didn’t want me to enter. First he said they don’t speak English, so I answered in Japanese that I could speak Japanese. Then he told me it was “costume night” and I needed to wear a mask. He had two masks on the counter. I thought maybe I could rent one, but I think he actually didn’t want me to enter. I’m not sure if it really was mask night or if that was an excuse. Finally, he told me there was another place on the third floor that was the same (it wasn’t) and led me down the stairs and showed me the door. So much for suck’d. I entered a place called BBO, which stands for “bare back only”. It was 1,700 yen to enter. After I paid and went past the curtain, there was a row of lockers. Fortunately there was a guy standing there naked, so I knew I was supposed to take off my clothes. At Suck’d, they say you cannot take off your clothes because of Japanese law (and it’s only oral sex). I don’t know why BBO was different. The guy who was standing there, got dressed and left after I entered (maybe because of me?) so I had the whole place to myself. The toilet has a hose to prep for anal and there is also a shower. The place itself is not big, but has several rooms with doors and also some open spaces and a sling. It definitely has potential. I lay down in one of the cabins and fell asleep until I heard some shuffling outside. I got up to find one bear-type standing in a hallway jerking off watching two other guys playing around. I ended up sucking him off and he left. The other two guys went into a cabin and closed the door. There was one other guy who clearly was not interested in me. I stayed about 20 more minutes and left. I probably would have made out better at 24 Kaikan, but I liked the idea of Suck’d because I really just wanted to suck. Apparently, like at BBO, you can signal what you’re into by where you wear your key wristband. Wear in on the right arm and it means you’re a top, on the left, you’re a bottom, on your ankle you’re side/verse. Also at Suck’d, they have free soft drinks. There was nothing to drink at BBO. I’m hoping to connect with some guys I’ve been talking to on Grindr and once my friend leaves, I will make arrangements with some of the guys I met on my last trip from the rental agencies. I’ll keep you posted if anything interesting happens.

Not sure how obscure, but I had a lot of sex in Shinjuku station in Tokyo. There is a cruisy restroom that is still in operation, though it didn't seem as active (or appealing) the last time I was there. Two crazy incidents stick out for me - one guy worked in a stationary store in the underground labyrinth connected to the station. We'd go in the stationary store and fuck like rabbits. It was closed and we had the whole store to ourselves. I always left covered in sweat. Another time I met a guy and we went up to a second floor restroom in one of the office buildings connected to the station. After we finished and took the elevator down, we found that they had closed the metal gates that shut the building off from the station. Fortunately, they didn't go all the way up to the ceiling, so we climbed up and over them. Not something I'd be able to do today. I don't know how we didn't get caught.

She definitely could have handled it better. Maybe saying "let's go over how to floss then because it looks like you're missing some spots", but to flat out say "no you don't" was pretty unprofessional. I fired a dentist because she almost choked me with a piece of cotton and when I wrote a bad review she had the nerve to say it never happened. I clearly remember the feeling of choking.

You got me curious so I did some exploring - a ton of possibilities! https://www.gaymexicomap.com/en/guadalajara/

Guadalajara was ranked as the number 1 gay city in Mexico. Not sure if this is still true. I was there in the early 2000s and definitely thinking about going back. When I was there, there were several gay bars (I didn't go), quite a few saunas, and this was pre-Grindr, so I met a lot of guys on the street. I hung out in a plaza in the central part of town where there's a huge pedestrian area and guys just found me. I also picked up a soldier in the main zocolo. I was younger, and no one asked for money back then. I'm sure with Grindr, you'll be able to meet a lot of people. I don't know about the bars and saunas, but I am assuming they are still there.

I want to know too. I had sex with a security guard in St Marten, he asked for $5 afterwards. He was the guard at the place where I rented an Airbnb. If this guy is a guard at a resort and is available, I would definitely stay there.

I just came back from a trip to Mazatlan. I hesitated to post a trip report because honestly, there were more disappointments than anything. Mazatlan was great, and if you go, be sure to go to Isla de la Piedra - a short boat ride from the port - for lunch and to hang out on the beach. My Airbnb was near the port, so I went there as often as I could. Grindr blew up when I got there. Quite a few guys looking for mature. Most weren't my type. I had a few over, but mostly they were disappointing in one way or another. One guy was fun in bed, but then turned weird and I had to block him. A few others used enhanced photos, or I didn't screen carefully. Towards the end of my trip, I started noticing that people used "apoyo" (help) in their Grindr screen name and in their profile, they said things like "doy apoyo" (I give help). I tried that and met a cute guy from Puerto Vallarta. Most guys seemed okay with 500 pesos. I gave a few a thousand. Normally, they'd ask how much and depending on how much I was into them, I'd offer 500 or 1000 - but that turned out to be a mistake since they ones I offered more money to had enhanced their photos or used someone else's, and were disappointing in person. I also went to the sauna and it was a snoozefest. About 10 guys on a Friday night during Carnival, which was supposed to be a busy time. I stayed about an hour and left. All in all, it was a really great trip. I loved the town and Isla de la Piedra, the weather was perfect, and I had some great food. Sex was plentiful and more innocent than places like Puerto Vallarta where they seem to be professional and charge a lot more. It was worth it for the place itself. The fact that I had any sex at all was a bonus. I love Mexico and now that I'm retired, I plan on going to as many new places as I can. I'll report on any findings, even if it's a disappointment.

I really liked the Dojo-group in Kyoto. A few of the guys I hired are also available in Osaka. Don’t even bother with the form on the website. Just email them to set it up. Almost everyone in Japan speaks limited English. Some will say they don’t speak any, but in my experience, after I spoke a little Japanese to them, they suddenly could also speak some English. And there’s always Google translate. In Tokyo, I used Re:Born and Gym-K. I had amazing sex with guys from both agencies. I wasn’t happy with Tokyo Kids. If you like skinny twinks, you might enjoy it more than me. Have fun. I enjoyed myself so much, I’m planning on going back for two months.

When I was there in 2021, I found a guy on Grindr. You might just try making that your profile. The guy I met started out as a sex hire. He wasn't really a hustler, just a guy with a big dick who needed money. I offered him money if he'd show me around. He took me to the Botero garden, on the metro and up the cable cars as well as some great local places to eat. I forget how much I paid him, but it included sex afterwards and was definitely worth it. He took the job seriously and explained a lot. Anyway, worth a shot. Somebody might want to make some extra money and they could take you to places off the beaten path.

Japan Trip Report: Tokyo - Thermae Yu A few disclaimers: 1. I wrote this trip report on the Narita Express and finished it at Narita Airport and when I submitted it, it disappeared. So I'm writing it again. 2. This is not about a sex venue. But if you want a recommendation for a good sento near ni-chome, read on. For my last day I had planned on going to 24-Kaikan to kill a few hours between when I checked out of my hotel and when I got on the Narita Express. I'd been there on Monday and it was not totally satisfying, more frustrating than anything, and since I had had such a good time with Sakaki-san the day before, I wanted to leave on a high note. I Googled "sentos in Shinjuku" and found Termae-yu. It was one of the best things I did on the trip (that didn't involve sex). You arrive and like everywhere I've been, take off your shoes and put them in a locker. No coins needed for lockers. Then go to reception. You keep your shoe locker key, but they give you another locker key and warn you that there's a charge if you lose either. BTW - they have a no tattoo policy - a few small tattoos that can be covered with bandages are ok, but that's it - sorry. The layout of the place was explained to me, but I was confused. I wanted a massage I'd seen on their website that said a 60-minute massage was equivalent to 8 hours sleep - it was some sort of deep relaxation. I went up to the 2nd floor where they told me oil massages happened and found myself in the men's locker room which opened up to the baths. Eventually, I was able to figure out how to book my massage (with help of a cleaning guy who I was hoping was the masseuse) and went into the bath area to soak beforehand. The bath area has the usual washing areas with plastic stools, soap, shampoo etc. There's a dry sauna, a steam room and several pools indoor, including a carbonated pool (I didn't try it). There's an outdoor area with a pool with water that's shipped in from a hot spring in Izu - good for beautiful skin, digestive disorders, high blood pressure and a whole host of other ailments. There's a beautiful mosaic of Mt. Fuji behind it. The whole place was very nice - looked new, clean, and quite spacious. The clientele was mostly younger men - 18-30ish, with a few older guys, almost all Asian, all in very good shape, so lots of eye candy. I saw one really hot South Asian guy with a gorgeous body and nice cock. There was plenty to look at, but this is not a gay sauna, so no hanky panky or even any cruising that I could tell (one cutie did smile at me though). While I'd hoped for a muscular young guy with smooth skin as my masseuse, instead it was a short Korean woman. Seems Korean women are quite common in spas/onsens. It was billed as "lymphatic drainage" and I don't know what that meant, but it was definitely one of the best massages I've ever had. I was given a pair of disposable panties to wear (they were see through, so ...?), but she was so good and so professional, I really didn't care what she saw - I'm sure she'd seen it all. After my massage and another soak, I discovered that the deep relaxation massage I wanted was on the 3rd floor. Was I told there were massages on the 3rd floor? I don't remember (also Thai massage on B2). I went up, and after some confusion and a lot of help, I was able to book a 60-minute deep relaxation head massage for 2:00. Down to the restaurant for the best ten-zaru soba. The tempura was the best I'd ever had. Fresh, crispy and a nice variety. I went back to the locker room to relax a bit - there's a co-working area as well as a sleep room (I didn't go in). My head massage was deeply relaxing and I dozed off. Great thing to do after lunch. I was now ready for my long flight. I went back, had another soak. It had gotten more crowded than when I first arrived at 11. More young guys - several very hot. I got dressed, paid and left. Total for two massages, lunch and admission - 20,000 yen - about $130 - It's hard to even find a massage for that little here in the Bay Area. They are open 24 hours - on my next trip, I will definitely go post-flight for jetlag relief. Great place to go if you miss the last train and are stranded in Shinjuku. They have a lot of rules you have to agree to when you enter, which include that you have no tattoos (apparently they are experimenting with relaxing this rule for women for "decorative tattoos"), you are not drunk, and no conversation in the baths. It was a check list that I had to check and then sign. Definitely a place to check out if you are looking for a legitimate bath house with a nice hot spring and massage in Shinjuku. I'm sure there are other places as well, but this is where I'll be going from now on. Back home now and missing Japan so much. I lived there in the 90s and didn't realize how prevalent male prostitution was. I remember Kings of College being there, and met a guy on the street once who told me his "type" was guys with money (he charged 10,000 yen to spend the night with me), but now, older, with fewer options, I really appreciated the opportunity to spend time with some really hot Japanese men. While there were a few duds, most of the guys I met were very attractive, and we had great sex. Grindr, while not as reliable as hiring out, was also a source of some good dick. The kinky Italian guy who wanted to fuck his dad seems to have disappeared. He hasn't logged into Grindr for days now and I'm worried that something happened to him. I will definitely be going back and possibly staying longer.

It was very noticeable. I hadn't considered Lunar New Year when I planned this trip. I will from now on.

I wanted the gym room but it wasn’t available. I had a great time!
