What type of Massage services are there?
Erotic massage services, part of Japan’s commercial sex industry, are regulated and offered in the same manner as health services, with the only difference being the contents of the service being massage-focused.
Happy ending massage services in Japan are offered in three ways, they include:
Outcall Massage
An Erotic massage service run like an escort agency where therapists can be booked and met in an outcall setting in places such as a
- Hotel
- Love Hotel
- Private Accommodation
This type has a high availability across Japan for foreigner friendly services like its counterpart in the Delivery Health genre.
Incall Massage
An incall massage service where you can visit a storefront of the business and pick out a therapist on the spot through images that aren’t in the public domain.
This style is the same as a hotel health service, the only difference being the service offered.
Massages are provided off-site, typically at a nearby Love Hotel, which you must arrange and pay for in addition to the cost of the services booked.
Instore Massage
The most convenient of all where you receive the services in one location with no additional costs.
Private rooms with showering facilities that mirror what you would find in a Fashion health type establishment.
They are mainly concentrated around the metropolitan areas of Japan, which have a high population density. Outside the big cities, these types of erotic massage services are hard to come by.
What type of sub-genres are there
The two main types of erotic massages you can find in Japan include:
Kaishun Massage
Therapists use their fingers and palms to stimulate erogenous points that include the lymph nodes, testicles, and prostate—a therapeutic massage to improve one’s sexual vitality.
Seikan Massage
Massage that focuses on areas below the waist being more sexual and less “therapeutic.”
What services are offered at a Massage?
The basic services offered will vary, but these specific massage acts are widely available at most erotic massage services.
- Aroma / Oil
- Cold / Hot
- Powder
- Groin
- Lymphatic
- Testicle
- Prostate
- Feather Touch
- Nipple Play
- Full Body
- Hand Job*
*Hand jobs are always guaranteed, with the chances of receiving full-service sex with or without tipping being slim to none.
What type of optional services are offered at a Massage?
Just like the health genre, erotic massage services may offer additional services beyond the basics that include:
- Nudity
- Face Sitting
- Blowjob
- Cosplay
- Variations in Massage
- Elements of Health Services
How much does a Massage cost?
Pricing is similar to that of a health service in the fee structuring that include:
- Service Fee -The cost of the service itself, plus any miscellaneous costs that aren’t advertised openly and added during the booking process. For example, a one-time membership fee or nomination fee for choosing a particular therapist
- Delivery Fee – The transportation fee for the therapist to visit you, if applicable
- Love Hotel – An hourly hotel that you can use to receive the services from the therapist.
| Fee | Price |
| Service | ¥15,000 ~ ¥50,000YEN |
| Delivery* | ¥0 ~ ¥20,000YEN |
| Love Hotel* | ¥0 ~ ¥15,000YEN |
What are the differences in Massage services?
Beyond the two types of erotic massage services of Kaishun & Seikan, you can find similar services at regular massage parlors that offer sexual services behind closed.
Run by non-Japanese nationals, predominantly Thai and Chinese, these services are illegal and can be found all across Japan, notably around the metropolitan areas near stations where touts loiter passersby for business after dark.
They can be distinguished by
- No online presence
- Open past midnight
- Not advertised on Japanese Adult directories,
- If a website is available, the address is not openly advertised
- Lackluster massage with persistent upselling during service
These types of massage parlors are illegal and aren’t part of the erotic massage services mentioned in this guide.
What kind of sex workers can I meet a massage?
As the services offered only entail at most giving hand jobs, this type of “soft” sex work attracts a particular kind of prostitute one wouldn’t find in other mainstream genres of Japan’s sex industry that require sex acts considered “hard” by industry standards.
Erotic massage services can be considered a stepping stone towards being career prostitutes for some once devoid of life ambitions by easy money. This type of sex work attracts ordinary college students and young office workers looking to supplement their income streams who wouldn’t consider working in the more challenging types of sex work that include health services or at a full-service Soapland.
The chances of receiving sex from these types of providers can be challenging as they are doing this type of work due to the objection they have to doing “hard” services in the first place.
What to expect when using a Massage provider
