Trip Planning

Great info and review, thank you! Japan is on my bucket list to visit when ever my poor butt can save up the money.

[QUOTE=Kekehawaii;6559084]Hinode, stick with Tobita if you want guaranteed action. I enjoyed Tobita way better as a single guy roaming the streets. Kabukicho is only fun if you have a female partner with you. Tough to hook up nihonjins alone. I went to Tokyo twice this past year. Went to the happening bars in Kabukicho with a married female friend I met in Hawaii 20+ years ago. These Happening Bars are about 10,000 - 15,000 Y admission. The female is pretty much free or only 1,000 Y. It includes free drinks and some light pupus. A couple of weeks ago, we went back to Kabukicho and the happening bar. She gets super turned on watching others and having them watch us too. She was originally trying to plan a private threesomeat some love hotel, but she said it's really hard to find a willing female partner in Tokyo. We though about going to soapland, but she said it's hard for a couple to go in. I would need to go by myself as a male. And it's hard in Tokyo as a foreigner even if one can speak fluent Japanese. Foreigners will get accepted in to the places with Chinese girls living in Tokyo.

I also didn't see much action on the streets of Kabukicho these past four visits (twice on my first trip and twice on the trip a couple of weeks ago). Pre pandemic there was a lot of action at night. Maybe they're still afraid of COVID?

The trip a couple of weeks ago, I only went to Tokyo (Kabukicho) and Kyoto. I couldn't find much in Kyoto and was tempted to take a train to Tobita which was only about 45 minutes away. But it was so hot that week, I just wanted to shower and relax in the hotel room a / c at night. So I'm planning to head back to Japan in a few months and spend several days at Tobita. That's my favorite spot in all of Japan. Hot girls, easy access as a foreigner, and super cheap. Thanks to your post years ago about Tobita, I found an awesome place. Before you mentioned Tobita, there was another super fun red lights district somewhere nearby Namba. I can't remember the name. I want to go back again as it was different than Tobita. I remember going to several clubs where the girls put on a strip show, then after, all the customers can hang out with them, take pictures, kiss them, and touch them all over. They wore those little cute cat masks to hide their eyes. Then nearby they had those shops with lots of photos of various girls. You pick one of them, pay the shop worker, then they call the girl. She comes by within 10 minutes and escorts you to a nearby love hotel. She pays the entrance fee with some of the money you paid the shop guy, then you head up. I remember getting showered and cleaned off by her, some fondling and body rubbing in the bath (similar to our AMPs, then some BBBJ. After that, she dries you off and then you head to the futon. She gave me a choice of CFS or BBFS, even the option of cream pie in her. I remember when I was ready to iku, I was holding back. She kept telling me in Japanese to iku because we can do it as many times as I want within the hour. I couldn't believe it. So I asked if I heard her correctly. She said yes. Come inside. I did. She cleaned me up and we went to the shower. After that she gave me a massage and lite ticklish body rub and I got hard again. She started BBBJ again and then she jumped on to ride me again. I was surprised. I guess I did understand her Japanese that we could have multiple sessions. By the time of the second pop, there was only 5 minutes left. So we just cleaned up again and left. I tried giving her a tip for the second pop, but she refused to take it. I forgot how much I paid. Maybe 12,000 JPY? I forget as it was around 8 years ago.

Anyone know what area I'm talking about? All I remember was it was a station or two away from Namba. Maybe it's close to Tobita? I dunno, but I had more fun that night than Tobita or Kabukicho. Oh, I still have a photo of that girl with the cat mask (and nice boobs) somewhere.[/QUOTE]

Glad you enjoyed bu. Most welcome. Grade A Wagyu.

Eh? BBFS near Namba? Hontoni? Please, DM me once you jog your memory! Namba is a huge shopping district just like Umeda. Midosuji line for the win, braddah. Let me know, shoots!

H.

Apparent a 5 story building of various strip clubs. Could this be the place keke?

According to the Internet entry costs are a bit high. Japan in general is expensive for a lot of things.

Also I want share to check out Matsushima shinchi. Gaijin ok. Kind of like a sister street to Tobita shinchi. Supposedly prices and service better at Matsushima. Tobita girls might be better looking.

From my experience, the service is pretty good if they willing to see you but so many places just won't let in without speaking good japanese.

Provide us with some traveling companions too. LOL LOL the care.

From my experience, .[/QUOTE]Braddah RoadRally2,

Appreciate the research, I politely beg to differ on the expensive part. Assuming you are in Hawaii, or at least the United States, right now, the JPN YEN is so weak, according to GUGURU, (that's Google, pronounced in Japanese LOL) today for every $100 USD, it's 14578.5 YEN. (Approximately $145. _) Braddah, that's 45% buying power. My last trip it was 33%, and boy did I make it rain up there (at the dolloh store Raff Out Roud) since the SO's radar warning was up with my Hinode cucumber being on high alert.

Speaking of which. If any braddah knows a TOP SHAPE place for exchange USD to YEN, DM me. Back in the day, it used to be the one in Waiks' on that side street. Recent reports on some SMS sites said their biz has busted or lame biz now. Mahalo in advance. My good friend said WISE is good. But they charge a fee (doesn't everybody nowadays anyway? No such thing as a free lunch?) But looking forward to my next trip. Salivating over some GRADE A WAGYU GYARU. (That's girl, in Japanese, with the rolling R).

I've gotten better exchange rates there than anywhere else. I have a "debit only" bank account that is separately funded and only used for mongering. Even with the small ATM fee, the exchange rate has beat anything else I've ever done. Of course, you don't get advance notice of the rate but you might want to give it a try one day just to see. Nowadays, I don't bother to take Yen with me when I go to Tokyo. It's just plain cheaper to get Yen from the ATM.

[QUOTE=FCH300;6565035]The best rates I've ever gotten came from, is 7-11.[/QUOTE]Mahalo braddah FCH300.

I will - . Take it under advisement and go have a look see myself. Past couple trips I've always gone to this currency store in Umeda Osaka, there's a whole bunch of other currency stores clustered around (looks like an underground izakaya), but of course, I pick that particular one because they give the best rates out of the block (s) of stores. Even though I exchanged 2 k, I only spent 1. 2 k, really really, with $300 USD and $330 yen coming back home. Unreal.

Sorry, If I do end up going to "my usual" store, I'll put the name of it here for the braddahs, just in case. (sorry i dont know the name of it. written all in kanji)

So if trading at 146, you got 144.5. Only $1,000 limit per person per day so go with several people. But no mo Japanese here so I'm not sure if they reopened. Haven't been in Waikiki for a while. Don't go to the local banks. Their rates suck and they also charge a service fee. You got to preorder too. But maybe ok if you not exchanging much. At Haneda airport, get Mizuho bank just to the left as you exit customs. They charge about 2. 7 yen per dollar. Not bad as that's <2%. No fees. They have a $2,000 limit per person per day. Junk part is you got to bring USD cash with you. Nobody takes travelers checks anymore. They also got exchange places at the gates when you depart just in case you want more for your next trip. The banks in Japan is a little better but too much hassles to go there during the daytime. That exchange window after exiting customs is super convenient. I exchanged a lot during my past two trips. Got 147 during my October trip and 140 on this past trip. Way better than the 104 I got 5 years ago when trump won the election. The rate was dropping so I drove down to DFS Waikiki and exchange a lot. Lose money as that was the bottom and it's only gone up since. Exchange plenty wherever as the rates are really good now. Wherever is fine. No matter. Save for future trips. It's like pre buying your future japan trips at 145.

[QUOTE=Kekehawaii;6566709]DFS Waikiki had the best rates.[/QUOTE]Raj. I remember the name now. Pacific Money Exchange. By Royal Hawaiian. Dey wuz the bestestestest.

I just seen one GLOBAL CURRENCY ground floor Alaz, talked to braddah in there, he said, FCFS, no phone quotes, $8. 99 transaction fee, quoted me $140 (3 days ago), GUGURU sez $1466.00!! Now, also he told me no limit on how much you like exchange, FCFS. Top shape. I might have to check them out bumbai.

I went to Tokyo back in May for 2 weeks for My Bday. Got to watch Sumo the 1st 2 days. Went back to Japan in June this time it was Osaka. Went to the BlackPink concert. Was sad because Jisoo was out with covid. Going back to Tokyo next month to watch Sumo again. Going to the 1st 2 days. Thinking about checking out some soaplands LOL & maybe rent a girlfriend LOL.

Why even bother with your soon to be green card wife Mai then? LOL. Just kidding. Super J a "young" braddah can travel to the land of the rising sun that many times in a year. I'll be sure to get my fill soon. Share your reports. Mai is obaoba compared to the 20 something hotties in Tokyo.

Jyane,

Sumo tickets are kinda hard to get. All 15 days sold out. Tickets are like 150.00 USD. Thinking about catching the train to go see My wifey LOL. Soapland's in Japan are way better than AMP's in Hawaii. Back in May when I went to some it was like 120-150 USD. Age is only a number. She is older than Me LOL.

My Japanese friend has to take me in to the happening bars because she is nihonjin. We were going to try a soapland together last month, but we didn't plan well so just went straight to the bar.

Even though I'm lucky in a sense (yeah right), once I open my big fat pineapple mouff, I get some "umm, I don't know about this gaijin" stink eye.

Same goes with tattoos in onsens. Unless you truly one gangsta Yakuza. LOL.

Was almost going to pull the trigger and visit Yuna at Happiness or one of the influx of visitng JGirls (yay for the the strong USD!) However, I just assigned to visit a client in the SF Bay Area in December. Having just moved from there, I'm looking fwd to sessioning w / a provider that's 20-30 yrs in age, PSE (I. E. BBFS), MSOG. And all for the price of $280. I just need to control temptation and not monger here, and save up to maximize while I'm up there.

I'm planning on visitng Izzy, Cora, and Hayla from 2020 lsc dot. Com But if anyone knows of PSE spinners (5'2" and under) w / naturals, please LMK!
