Idol Collection

A great choice for Soapland enthusiasts, Idol Collection is centered around younger ladies, hiring women no older than 25. Unlike the infamous Yoshiwara Age, where girls can be up to 10 years older than listed, Idol Collection prides themselves in accurate age listings on their site.

    I always recommend Kira Kira in Yokohama. Looks like more people are showing interest because they have now added a modest 5000 Yen foreigner tax. There was no foreigner tax in June. Hope this helps.

    Kira Kira is a cheaper soap, good for beginners to try out. Other shops in Tokyo are much more expensive, but a bit more luxurious and with better ladies. I would not say you necessarily get more by paying more, but that better girls do work at more expensive shops. If that makes sense. I recommend Gingira in Tokyo.

    My pleasure, Kira Kira is a budget place and used to be called Mermaid. Long-time foreigner friendly. If you check their site you can make a reservation.

    I am Traveler X on ISG, thanks for your detailed map on twitter!
