While Japan does not use RM or Hunqz, they do have many choices when it comes to Massages or Escorts. I usually use these sites for searching (I speak Japanese myself but you can use Google translate for these sites)

The business trip option would be for boys and you can choose the are and type you are looking for. Just be sure when you reach out to check if they accept Foreigners, many will list they do not serve (I'm guessing due to language barriers)

Here is another one!

 

This site is for Massages and they have an English page:

https://gay-massa.com/

 

The shops are also very active on Twitter and you can start here:

If you are heading there soon, have a great trip!

 

In Tokyo, what is the best area to stay in, near the brothels and Metro?  Any hotel recommendations?  The best way to get to your hotel from the airport?    Also a good place to exchange money.

The most famous gay area in Tokyo is called Shinjuku ni-chome ("knee-chormay").

I've previously stayed at the City Hotel Lonestar, which is situated within the gay area. 

However, you can not bring guests back to your room.

The trip from the airport depends on whether you arrive at Narita Airport - an hour out of the city -  or Haneda Airport which is in Tokyo itself.

Download an app called Rome2rio. It gives all the options of getting from point A to point B.

Thanks.  Are some of the brothels located near the metro?

Everywhere is located near the metro. Have you never seen a Tokyo subway map?  🤣

PS If you need to get cash from an ATM,  the 7Bank ones inside 7-11 stores don't charge for using foreign cards.

😱😱  WOW!  I am glad I took my blood pressure pill before seeing your post. 🤣

That map is a work of art. I have an enlarged version as a decoration in my office. Also brings up fond memories.

And that map is only part of the system,  as most lines carry on, out of the city into the countryside.  Now everything is also in English, and there are huge maps on the stations, giving details of all the nearby buildings. A huge advance on when I first went 40 years ago. It pays to master the Subway, it doesn't take long, there are 2 different  companies, and then travel around Tokyo is remarkably easy. The gay area is around the station Shinjuku -San-chome. San is 3.

Also, that map doesn't show the JR network, which is equally complex:

A tip if you can't work out the fare: just buy any value of ticket and make your journey. At the exit, find the fare adjustment machine and put your ticket in. If you've overpaid it will refund the appropriate amount; if youo've underpaid it will tell you how much more to pay.

If you ever stand there looking confused, lost or puzzled, just wait. Before too long you'll be surrounded by locals eager to help. 

It's the way things work in Japan.

Oh, and while you're there, don't forget to pick up a jar of two of this.

Interestingly, a long time ago, I took a taxi from hotel to  client. As has been mentioned before, most of Tokyo has no street names. The doorman looks up the address in an enormous  map book, dealing with Chome, block no, building no, etc. Off we went. We arrive, taxi driver shows me the building. Drives off. Its the wrong building, he was lost. I had no cluster of helpful Japanese, in deed no English spoken. Luckily I found a pay pho e, and rang client.  They then directed me!

Yes, the JR System is impressive.  However I found it more confusing, not so much English. Worth noting that the hi speed Shinanksen have their own section at Tokyo Station. 

 

When I was first in Japan,  if I didn't know farw,etc, I was advised just to walk through the open barrier next to the official. I was told that as a foreigner, gaijin,  I would not be stopped!

Does anyone know if there are specific ones that do BDSM?

I am curious about the brothels that have a shop such as TK. Is it possible to simply arrive at the shop without any bookings and see who is available at that particular time? If a boy is available, do you still have to come back later or can you get down to business with him right away? Do they have rooms there or are you still taken to another venue?

If anyone has experience attending a shop without a booking and having sex on that occasion I would be grateful if you could share your experience. 

Yes, some of them do have walk ins possible. But choosing from the menu is probably the best option for most people. The websites are generally quite comprehensive. If you look at the websites under their "system" it will tell you if you can walk in or if you need to book ahead. A couple of the places I made arrangements through just had regular apartments to meet the boys I had selected rather than a shop or bar.

King of College is, still, I hope, a traditional  walk in place, with boys who stand up, shirtless,  for inspection, when you come in.

I am usually in Tokyo in the winter. They were clothed when I walk in. Shirtless? Wish I could experience that.

I’m in Japan now. I was in Tokyo for three days and I’m now in Kyoto for 12 before heading back to Tokyo.

First, Grindr blew up in Tokyo. Lots of guys interested in mature. Even though my Grindr profile was more about meeting guys to show me around and practice English, because I mentioned I liked to suck, I got quite a few guys sending me dick pics. No one wanted to practice English. Everyone wanted their dick sucked.

One had contacted me around New Years when I used Grindr’s free roam service to check out the scene in Tokyo. He contacted me several days before I arrived and messaged me frequently until he showed up at my hotel. He was 22, had a nice cock, and just wanted me to suck him (he said please). It was fun.

Before I met with him, I had a 40 year old guy who didn’t look like much in his photos, but had a nice cock come to my hotel and spend a few hours with me. I sucked him off, we napped together, and then I sucked him again. He had a beautiful body and was a real pleasure to spend time with.

But, since I wasn’t sure how I’d make out, I had made arrangements with Tokyo-Kids to meet Aiki the day before I left for Kyoto. I was excited because he looked gorgeous in his photos and seemed like he had a big cock based on the measurements (all relative).

They messaged me several times asking about my preferences. By the time the day came, I really wanted to cancel, but I figured I’d go ahead with it because when I hired a boy from TK 10 years ago, I was very satisfied.

Ok, long story short - the guy was like a skeleton covered in flesh. He was so skinny (from now on, I will be looking at their weight). He didn’t really do what I had asked for in my emails (I said I wanted to kiss), but he let me suck him and he sucked me a little (not something I requested). I asked him if he’d come and he said no. All in all, it was a big disappointment. And it looks like the pickings on TK have gone way down. There used to be many more boys to choose from. Now there are only a few and they all look really skinny.

I’m going to look back through this thread and maybe see if I can hire one of the muscle guys when I return to Tokyo. Or maybe I’ll just stick to Grindr.

Now, in Kyoto, I’m really not having any luck at all. Most people on Grindr seem to be visitors, and those who have contacted me are far away. If anyone knows of any escort service in Kyoto, I’d appreciate the tip.

You can now add a Suica card to your iPhone. I think it’s in the wallet under transit cards. You add money to your card and can use it in shops, restaurants, for taxis and for the train. It’s super convenient.

Also, I downloaded an app called Japan Travel, which has been super helpful. You plug in where you want to go and it will plot out the route for you, telling you which trains, departure times, which platform (and the final destination of the train) and even which car to get on so that you’ll be close to the exit you want. I lived in Japan for 6 years in the 90s and I have no idea how we survived. Signs were mostly in Japanese, and there were no English announcements on trains. Now, English is everywhere and technology has made it so much easier.

If you’re thinking about visiting Japan, now is the time to do it. The dollar is very strong against the yen (about 150 yen to a dollar). That all may change soon, especially if the US defaults on its debt or we’re plunged into another recession by you know who…

If you’re in Kyoto consider trying out Hata massage @kyotogaymassage on X. You can book through Line. He hosts the massage sessions in his own apartment.

I’m no longer on X. Any other way to find him?

Ok never mind, I found it. He doesn’t accept guys over 50, gives discounts for muscle guys and people with gym memberships, so obviously he has a type he likes playing with.
