How to play and enjoy Japanese Soapland

What is Soapland?

Under the Entertainment Establishments Control Law, soapland is considered a "private room special bathhouse," and visitors can enjoy bathing assistance provided by soap woman in a private room-type bathhouse.

Soapland, like other adult entertainment genres such as delicatessen, does not have dispatch-type stores, but operates only as a "storefront" with an actual store.

Therefore, soaplands are limited in the number of locations where they can operate, and soapland districts, which are clusters of soaplands, have been formed in various parts of the country.

Soapland Fee System

Soapland is characterized by its unique fee system, which does not have a "basic fee" like other entertainment establishments.

Many people may avoid using soapland because of the complexity of this fee system.

Since it is especially difficult for first-time visitors to understand, we will explain it in detail here.

Fee rates vary greatly depending on the rank of the store.

Soapland can be broadly classified into six ranks, ranging from super high-class to very cheap.

The price quotations (total amount) for each rank are as follows.

Super cheap store	under 10,000yen
cheap store	10,000yen～25,000yen
Regular-class store	25,000yen～40,000yen
Middle-class Store	40,000yen～50,000yen
high-class store	50,000yen～80,000yen
Super high-class store	Over 80,000yen

At high-class and ultra-high-class establishments, you can enjoy superb service provided by high-quality soap woman.

On the other hand, super-cheap and low-priced stores have the advantage that they can be used for a short time (40 minutes or less), so you can enjoy yourself by choosing the rank according to your mood and financial situation of the day.

Flow of Soapland Use

The contents are common to most soaplands, so please refer to them, especially if you are new to soapland.

1.Select a store, soap woman, and course

The first step is to select a soapland you would like to use.

It is a good idea to search for "the name of the area you want to use + soapland" on Google, but it is also recommended to use sex industry portal sites such as "Ekichika" to efficiently check information on soaplands in the relevant area.

Once you have found a soapland you are interested in, the next step is to select a soapgirl.

Try to find a soap girl who suits your taste based on her looks, style, hobbies, and personality.

Here, you should pay attention to the attendance schedule of the soap women.

It is important to make sure that the soap women are on duty on the day and time you wish to use the service.

Incidentally, there is also a method called "free (no nomination)," in which you do not choose a soap operative and leave it up to the establishment.

After you have chosen a soap operator, the last thing to do is to choose a course.

Each soapland offers a variety of courses, including 50-minute, 90-minute, and even 120-minute courses, so choose a course that suits your time and budget.

2. Make a reservation

Once you have decided on the soapland, the soap operator, and the course you wish to use, make a reservation.

There are two ways to make reservations: by phone or online.

Almost all soaplands accept reservations by phone, but please note that some soaplands do not support online reservations.

How many days in advance you can make a reservation depends on each establishment, and generally there is the following pattern.

Reservations can be made several days in advance.
Reservations can be made one day in advance or on the day of the event.
Reservations can be made one week in advance only for members such as e-mail magazines.

Make sure to check how many days in advance the soapland you are planning to use can be reserved before making a reservation.

3. Pay the fee at the reception desk.

Visit the soapland on the reserved date and time and go to the reception desk.

Some soaplands require a confirmation call 30 minutes or an hour before the reserved time, so in such cases, be sure to call at the designated time before coming to the store.

Tell the staff at the reception desk the name you gave when you made the reservation, and they will confirm the soap women you have appointed and the course you have taken. If there are no mistakes, pay the bathing fee or the total amount.

4. Wait in the waiting room

After paying the fee, the staff will show you to the waiting room where customers are waiting.

There are no specific rules on how to spend your time in the waiting room, so feel free to have a drink, do your nails, use the restroom, or smoke in the smoking area.

If you arrive on time for your appointment, you will be called by a staff member within a few minutes and escorted to a private room where the soap women are waiting for you.

5. Be guided and receive service.

In some soaplands, the soap women will even meet you in the hallway outside the waiting room.

Once you enter the private room, you first pay the service fee, and after greeting each other and chatting to loosen the tension, you take off your clothes and the soap women begin their services.

Basically, the soap lady will take the lead, so you may leave everything to her, especially if you are visiting a soapland for the first time.

6.Exit the store

When the designated course time comes, the service is over.

After getting dressed and receiving a business card from the soap lady, leave the room.

At this time, the soap lady may see you off to a place where you will not run into other customers.

In some mid-range or higher class brothels, there is an "after room" where you can enter after the service is over.

Here, you can relax and soak in the afterglow of the service, or spend the time waiting for the transportation service, if the establishment provides one.

In addition, you may be offered a drink or food service in the room, or asked to fill out a questionnaire about the service you have received.

How to play and enjoy Soapland

Go to the soap district.

Soapland is only allowed to operate in certain areas according to the Entertainment Establishments Control Law.

Therefore, "Soap Towns," where soaplands are concentrated, are naturally formed.

Soap Town is an area where you can enjoy a unique atmosphere, so why not take a leisurely stroll on your own?

Below is a sampling of some famous soap towns.

Yoshiwara	Yoshiwara, located in Senzoku, Taito-ku, Tokyo, boasts an outstanding reputation as the best soap town in Japan. The number of soapland establishments here is an order of magnitude greater than in other soap towns, and they come in a variety of ranks and genres.
Susukino	Susukino's soapland is located around Minami 5-jo Nishi 4-chome to Minami 6-jo Nishi 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Susukino is known for its inexpensive soapland prices, so much so that people say, "If you want to play in Susukino, go to a soapland.
Kanazuen	Located in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Kanazien is known above all for its location: about 50 stores stand in a row about a 3-minute walk from JR Gifu Station, offering a wide variety of price ranges and genres.
Nakasu	Nakasu, located in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is one of the three most famous entertainment districts in Japan, and part of Nakasu is a soap district. As the term "Hakata Bijin" (Hakata beauty) implies, you can play with excellent-looking soap women.

Points to keep in mind when using soaps

Here are some points to keep in mind when using a soapland.

Some of them may not only cause trouble at the establishment, but in the worst case, you may be banned from the establishment.

Make sure you have a clear understanding of the points to be careful of before using a soapland.

The fee schedule basically only lists bathing fees

Basically, only the bathing fee is specified in the price list of soapland.

As mentioned above, "bathing fee + service charge" is required when using a soapland.

In most cases, the service charge is not clearly stated, but you should assume that it is two to three times the bathing fee.

For example, if the bathing fee is 10,000 yen, the service fee can be expected to be 20,000 to 30,000 yen, so a total of 40,000 yen should be sufficient.

If you are not sure about the exact fee, please contact the restaurant and they may be able to tell you what the fee is.

In some cases, the total price is the sum of the bathing fee and service charge.

If the total amount is indicated, it is easy to understand because you can use it with the same feeling as other genre of adult entertainment stores.

If you don't make an appointment, you may not receive service.

We strongly recommend that you make a reservation when using Soapland.

Soapland cannot serve more customers than the number of rooms and cast members it has available.

Even if you come to the store without a reservation, there is a good chance that you will not be able to use the service if the store is full.

Also, naturally, customers with reservations are given priority, so the waiting time tends to be longer.

It is sure to make reservations for both the soap woman you wish to nominate and the time you wish to use the service, but if you wish to use the service without nominating a soap woman, it is recommended that you make a reservation only for the time you wish to use the service.

Cancellation without notice is not acceptable.

Circumstances that force you to cancel a reservation at a soapland after you have gone to the trouble of making it, such as sudden work or illness, can happen to anyone.

However, you should never cancel without notice.

It is important to contact the store as soon as you realize that you need to cancel and let them know that you want to cancel.

Canceling without notice or cancelling too short notice may result in a ban from the restaurant in the worst case scenario.

Frequently asked questions and answers from soap beginners

Q.How long should the course be?

Some soaplands offer long courses of 40 to 120 minutes, or even longer, but 90 minutes is recommended for beginners.

The recommended time for beginners is 90 minutes, which is neither too short nor too long, and is ideal for enjoying a full range of soapland services.

Q.Do I need to prepare anything?

Even though the service includes bathing assistance, it is recommended that you take a shower before your visit.

Nails should be cut short and filed well, and be clean-shaven.
