Takii Shinchi is the smallest of the five full-service Red-Light districts, with only a handful of brothels, less than a dozen operating in a small residential backstreet of Moriguchi city in Osaka.
The providers working in the brothels of Taki Shinchii are notorious for providing bareback services that are referred to as “NS” and “NN” in Japanese. This includes cream pie finishes by default.
The area has a long history of being a pleasure district of the Kansai region well before the 20th century. It was once home to Turkish baths, which were renamed Soaplands in the decades following the end of World War 2.

💡 What is Takii Shinchi?
The brothels of Takii Shinchi operate in the same manner as the two central Red-Light districts of Tobita Shinchi and Matsushima Shinchi. Officially registered as restaurants, though, the services are those of a modern brothel where visiting male clients can engage in full-service sex with the female providers.
Liberal interpretations of the Anti-Prostitution laws introduced in 1958 have allowed this type of activity to take place with no intervention. Lovemaking that occurs within the confines of the business is done by free will and outside the scope of the laws that prohibit explicit prostitution.
There are no online websites, directories, or imagery one can check for the brothels in Takii Shinchi, as they do things the old-fashioned way, completely offline. The only way to see what’s available in the area is in person.

🌐 Are foreigners welcome to Takii Shinchi?
Being the smallest Red-Light-District of the five in Osaka, the foreigner-friendly options in this area are slim to none, depending on the time and date of your visit.
Knowing Japanese at a basic level and above is a must for solo visitors to get through the doors of Takii Shinchi. Alternatively, one can visit with a local who can vouch for you and act as a translator during the negotiation process when making an appointment in person.
Nonetheless, there is no harm in trying, as foreigner-friendly providers work in Takii Shinichi occasionally.

❓ What are the differences in Takii Shinchi?
Besides the low shop count of Takii Shinchi, the brothels here are notorious for providing bareback services on default as a standard service, which is rare even in Japan’s vast sex industry.
This level of service is usually reserved only for the most loyal clientele that the providers know well, but in Takii Shinchii, the providers here are well known to provide cream pie services for first-time visitors, especially with seasoned providers in their 30s and 40s.
👧 What kind of sex workers can I meet at Takii Shinchi?
The providers available in Takii Shinchi are more or less what you would expect at any of the other Red-Light districts in Osaka. Many rotate through the districts until they settle on an area where they can compete at a satisfactory level.
Being a minor Red-Light-District of the five that exist in Osaka with great accessibility, one can find privacy-conscience providers working in this low-visibility area.
🔞 What to expect visiting Takii Shinchi?
Finding a Girl
The walk around the brothels will only take a minute. Anything that catches your eye at first glance should be approached and engaged with.
Enter & Book
Step inside the brothel and start the negotiation process with the staff member for your interested provider. If you have any concerns about bareback services and pricing, voice them at this point.
Go Upstairs to Play Rooms
After successful negotiations, you will be taken to the playrooms upstairs, where the provider will tend to you one-on-one after she has showered separately.
A small wet towel will be used to clean you partially, and the service will commence for the duration paid for, which includes full-service sex.
Finish
The clean-up process will be done with the same small wet towel used at the start of the session, as there are no showering facilities at the brothels in Takii Shinchi.
After cleaning yourself and getting dressed, exit the store the same way you entered.
