Luxe Gor Japan - Nightlife Stories, Entrepreneurship & Japanese Culture

Yesterday afternoon after finishing a meeting with my Japanese guide, he asked me to walk around Yoshiwara with him. I'm thinking, you've got so many damn SPs... why would you need to go to a soapland? Turns out he needed to inspect a new partner soapland and help book for a friend of a Hong Kong buddy. The friend's friend said he wanted 9 people to go to the soapland together - same shop, same designated time. This request seems pretty normal, but the reality is it's really hard to pull off. First, because most soaplands have around 6-8 rooms, having 9 people at the same shop simultaneously is challenging. Second, the designated time thing - most soaplands have specific time slots, like 2pm session, 4pm session. Having a specific time is also a bit difficult for them. Third, and this is pretty predictable, after picking and booking the girls... they want to change girls again. I get that Hong Kong people are flexible, but Japanese people just aren't flexible like that. Switching girls becomes quite a hassle. Some friends might think that since you're paying the soapland, they should accommodate the customer. Well, this is a cultural difference - Japan has their own rules.

Traveling without knowing Japanese - how can you still have fun with the girls? For foreigners in Japan, the biggest obstacle to doing many things is the language barrier. If you don't speak Japanese and want to have some fun, I'd suggest avoiding activities that require heavy Japanese communication. Places like nightclubs, lounges, and girl bars are honestly pointless - it's just going through the motions. I'm sure when you're traveling, that's not really what you're after anyway. But if your goal is to have more "intimate" contact with Japanese girls, Japan's most traditional and famous soaplands are the most direct and convenient option. I think any of you guys who've tried soaplands would agree that Japan is incredible - they can package this into such a high-class erotic experience that once you've tried it, you keep wanting to go back every so often. More and more soaplands are accepting foreigners these days, but if you're not familiar with the scene, not only will you end up paying higher prices, but there's also a good chance you'll get stuck with something terrible. It's the same old story - when you're traveling and having fun, paying a bit more sometimes doesn't matter. But paying extra and getting crap service? That's the absolute worst. I've been burned so many times myself, even had situations where I paid up front and they didn't want the money back - they just wanted me gone (I'll share those stories later). After all these years of trying out various soaplands, I've become good friends with shops I know well that have decent quality. If you're really interested in experiencing this, feel free to PM me and I'll see if I can help you out.

Luxe wishes everyone a Merry Christmas! To all the brothers in the Luxe Bar group, just a heads up 🙏🏻 When you head to Luxe next time, whatever you do, don't let those Nigerian street middlemen/touts downstairs bring you up. Why am I saying this? Because lately, quite a few Japanese bars and nightclubs in Kabukicho have started cutting ties with these types of intermediaries. They've been bringing in too many problem customers all along, causing major headaches for the venues. So over the next few days, bars on the nearby streets are going to be extra strict with customers brought in by these middlemen. Hong Kong brothers, remember this—going up on your own and entering by yourself is the safest bet. If you get brought up through a middleman, there's a real chance you won't even be able to get into Luxe Bar 🙏🏻😂

The fuzoku industry has quite a lot of girls between 19 and 24 years old. Japan really doesn't have much forced prostitution anymore. Once I saw this naive new girl just sitting there, so I struck up a conversation and asked her why she got into this line of work. Turns out many of them aren't from Tokyo - they come from Kyushu, Osaka, or even Hokkaido to make money. Some girls actually already run their own Girl Bars back in Hokkaido, but they need extra cash to buy Cosplay costumes for their staff, so they come to Tokyo from time to time to make some quick money. The biggest group though is university students, usually in their third or fourth year... Basically, the Japanese government lent them money for the first two years, they spent it all, and now they're about to graduate and worried they won't find jobs to pay back the government debt. So they work nights as a side gig to earn money. Of course, some girls also get into it because they're addicted to the expensive host clubs, or they really love going to Korea for plastic surgery, playing poker and gambling, things like that. This creates a lot of fresh blood in the fuzoku industry, so next time you come to Japan, remember to physically support them and give them some "big help"! ❣️ *Girls from Hokkaido have especially great bodies - wonder if it's related to the high-quality milk up there 😂
