Kyoto Sex Guide For Single Men And Couples

If you are planning to visit Kyoto for a sex holiday and would like to know the best hotspots to meet girls hot for action, the answers are in this sex guide.

Kyoto is well known for its 3 red light districts and friendly local girls, but it can be confusing to navigate because it’s a Japanese eccentric city.

Meaning that most people around speak only Japanese, everything is written in Japanese and there aren’t many foreigners around to ask for help. But with this guide, you’ll know exactly where to go and what to do to have fun.

For the most part, the guide covers the P4P scene (Pay for Play Scene). But we don’t explain how to get a Japanese sugar baby.

If you prefer to meet and date quality Japanese girls, then get on a popular Japanese dating site.

Intro To Sex Tourism In Kyoto

Kyoto is not exactly a hot spot of adult activity, especially for foreigners. But there are adult entertainments for those who know where to look for them.

You have blow job bars, erotic massage parlors, outcall sexual services, and hostess bars. They hire only Japanese ladies, so don’t expect to find Southeast Asian ladies or European ladies unless you book a private escort online.

During the day, these areas are quiet, but after 6 pm they get busy, especially on weekends. Also, businesses that cater to adults stay low-key and aren’t flashy about their services, as you can see in the photo below…

So watch out for posters with pretty girls and prices.

The unofficial red light areas are:

• Gion-Shinchi (祇園新地) – Located near the famous Gion district, this is Kyoto’s most well-known red-light area. There are many ochaya (teahouses) and hostess bars, where geisha and hostesses entertain guests (though not all involve adult services). There are also erotic massage parlors.

• Pontocho (先斗町) – A historic alley along the Kamo River with upscale dining and nightlife. Some establishments offer hostess services, but they are “Japanese-only” establishments.

• Kiyamachi (木屋町) – A nightlife district with bars, clubs, and some adult-oriented establishments. Less concentrated than Gion-Shinchi, but it has some hostess clubs.

• Rakuhoku Area (洛北) – A quieter district with some soaplands and pink salons (adult massage parlors).

During the weekday, these areas are quiet. But after 6 pm, they get busy, especially on weekends.

Keep in mind that not all venues are gaijin-friendly (welcoming foreigners). That shouldn’t stop you from having fun, as there are plenty of foreign-friendly places.

 

What About Girls And Sex In Kyoto?

Girls in Kyoto are super sexy and well-educated. Unlike most other Asian countries, they aren’t money-oriented.

If a local girl likes you, it’s because of your personality and looks. You are exotic to them as much as they are exotic to you.

As with most girls in Japan, girls in Kyoto don’t speak much English. So, if you are the type of guy who likes to “day game” girls, it’ll be hard due to the language barrier.

In this case, you’re better off meeting girls online on English dating sites. Girls here can speak English, they are into foreigners, and are easy to bed.

Don’t be surprised to find yourself in a love hotel on the first date. The local ladies get turned on easily and crave sex as much as you do.

Don’t try to be cocky or openly talk about sex, that is perceived as rude. Instead, just have a friendly conversation.

 

Where to Find Sex in Kyoto

If during your stay you want to get laid, this is my review of the best places to hook up with girls in Kyoto, starting with…

 

1. Online

Several girls in Kyoto want to have sex with a foreign man. For some, it’s a fantasy they want to fulfill; for others, it is a habit to get laid with gaijins (foreigners). There are also couples looking for a foreign bull or another couple to swap partners.

A popular site at the moment is Asian Match Mate. There are open-minded Japanese as well as foreigners living in Kyoto who are looking for hookups and friends with benefits.

 

2. Nightclubs & Pick Up Bars

Kyoto is more of a bar than a club scene. For clubbing, Osaka is a lot better.

Most of the pickup action is on Kiyamachi Dori Street, between Kamo River and Kawaramachi. Then you have Gion with a lot of bars frequented by university students. Specifically, the bit north of Shijo-dori between (but not including) the two historical areas.

The most thriving nightlife when it comes to nightclubs is the 3rd Street and the Kamogawa River.

Some of the must-visit clubs for easy hookups include:

• Hello Dolly

Nice old-style jazz bar with a lovely atmosphere. Here you’ll find several horny milfs eager to hook up with a foreigner.

• Club World

It’s a small club well balanced in terms of music and girls. The drinks are affordable.

• Metro Kyoto Club

Great atmosphere, the place is a bit small, but also cozy and fun.

• Kitsune Kyoto

A big nightclub on two floors, with lots of foreigners and young Japanese girls. It’s a bit costly, but one of the best places to pick up hot girls.

After midnight, the place gets packed with gaijin hunters (girls who crave to meet foreign men).

 

3. Pink Salon – Blow Job Bars – Two-Shot Cabaret

These blow job venues are known as Two-Shot Cabaret, but also as Pink Salons. In the Gion area, you’ll find many of them, and each place has a particular characteristic, with girls wearing traditional kimonos or cosplay costumes like sailor suits or school uniforms.

The typical rate ranges from 4.000 to 9.000 yen for 40 minutes.

The only issue is that most Pink Salons don’t accept foreigners if they don’t speak any Japanese. The ones they do employ are only “ugly old grandmas.”

So, you’d better learn a few simple phrases to get into the Japanese eccentric pink salons if you wish to get sucked by a hottie.

Most shops are located in the red light districts, and the only two gaijin-friendly salons are:

  • N-cats – Located in the Gion area in front of a 7/11 shop (see above photo). They have got skinny and pretty girls, offering rotation girls for 45 minutes at 9.000 yen. You can have two pop per session and cum in their mouth. If you pay an extra 1.000 yen, she removes the panties and you can touch.
  • Club Cherry – They have got pretty girls that know how to suck. Price starts at 7.000 yen for 30 minutes.

 

4. Soaplands

They are known for “wash play” and blowjobs (BJ). Some offer full sexual intercourse (FS), but it’s rare.

They operate like any other massage parlors in Japan, you get a bath by a naked girl, then a body-to-body massage, and finally you can blow your load.

The communication can be a barrier because the level of English spoken by the staff is limited. That affects the overall experience, but I found the masseurs at least tried hard to please.

They used to be accessible only to Japanese before Covid, but now most are foreign-friendly. Unfortunately, there is typically a “gaijin surcharge”.

The only foreign-friendly soaplands in Kyoto I’m aware of are:

  • Goldqueen
  • Kotei Bekkan
  • Chateau Louis, but you need to speak basic Japanese to get in.

 

5. Kyoto Escorts – Deriherusu

Deriherusu is also known as a “delivery health” service. These services are convenient because you are a phone call away from the girls.

It’s rare to find an independent escort in Kyoto; the majority of girls work for an agency. Those agencies aren’t virtual but have a physical brothel where they serve customers, but at the same time, they offer out-calls.

So, you can either arrange to see her in your hotel room or go to the shop.

The standard prices start at 16.500 yen for 60 minutes only for Japanese speakers. For those who can’t speak Japanese, you’ll be charged 40.000 yen for 60 minutes.

At the moment, the most popular outcall service that focuses on cosplay is Alice Girl’s Academy.

 

6. Strip Clubs

First off, Tokyo strip clubs are a bit different from Western strip clubs in that they are mostly watching and no touching.

It is more of a performance rather than a typical strip joint with breasts and bottoms in your face. But here is my account of my experience.

girl-in-strip-club-kyoto

The only strip club that I’m aware off is DX-Tohji at Toji and Inokuma Dori.

There is a ticket vending machine that requires 5.000 yen to let you in, and there are also a vending machine for drinks if you feel thirsty.

The girls at first dance fully dress, but in the end, they show their flowers. You can get a photo with the girls for 1.000 yen.

 

7. Brothels

The brothels in Kyoto look like restaurants and don’t have geisha sitting on the front of the shop like in Osaka. Also they don’t want foreigners because usually they break the rules. So you need to have a local connection if you want to get into one.

The brothels are located in the Pontocho and Kiyamachi areas.

 

Typical Prices

Kyoto sex prices vary according to the type of business, their reputation and how in demand the girl is.

I’ve noticed that women in their early 30s are more expensive than younger women. Probably because in Japan they value more the experience than the age.

Here is a list of standard prices for each business type:

  • Pink Salon: Standard price for a blow job starts at 5.000 yen for 30 minutes.
  • Soapland Massage: The price starts at 40.000 yen for 40 minutes.
  • Strip Clubs: 5.000 yen for admission. Read above for more info.
  • Escorts: starting at 9.000 yen per hour for independent escorts and from 14.000 yen for agency girls.

If paying all this money only for sex isn’t your thing, but you want a real connection with the girls, consider reading the next section, where I explain how to get laid and have companionship for the price of a meal or coffee.

Some luxury rooms have even a jacuzzi and other facilities, such as mirrors in the ceiling, vibrators, lubricants, and condoms.

In other words, It’s a private paradise for adults…
