Guide: Shinodayama Shinchi

Shinodayama Shinchi is a full-service Red-Light District, one of five such districts in Izumi City, Osaka. The area’s history as a pleasure district dates back to the Edo period when it was a popular stop for travelers heading toward the southern peninsula of Kumano.

In 1919, a military garrison was established in the area and the brothels of Shinodayama Shinchi served as the defacto pleasure quarters for the military during this time.

The Anti-Prostitution laws that were introduced in 1958 after the war resulted in the brothels of Shinodayama Shinchi converted into “inns” that still operate to this day as stand-alone brothels that offer full-service sex.

💡 What is Shinodayama Shinchi?

Shinodayama Shinchi is the lesser known of the five Red-Light-Districts in Osaka overshadowed by the larger districts that have better access from the city center.

Approximately 20 to 30 brothels operate in the area, which is about half the number in Matsushima Shinchi and a quarter of those in Tobita Shinchi. The area isn’t an open air Red-Light-District with no prostitutes in view at street level like its counterparts.

The brothels are referred to as “inns” where visitors can discuss with staff about the type of girl they would like to meet and encounters arranged on the spot. No photos of the working providers are available before your meeting, so you won’t know in advance who you will meet beyond what you have discussed verbally.
