I just got back from 6 weeks in Tokyo. Admittedly, I worked too much so I didn't partake as much as I initially expected but here's a brief rundown of my soapland experiences.
Most soaplands do not see visitors that cannot speak conversationally in Japanese. The ones that do charge a foreigner tax.
I stayed in Ikebukuro that has like 8 or so different soaplands. I believe only 2 soaplands in Ikebukuro see foreigners. The gaijin tax varied from 5000¥ to 10,000¥.
The soapland I visited the most had an initial cost of 18,000¥ for 50 mins, plus the 10,000¥ for being a foreigner. So in total, 28,000¥ for 50 mins works out to like $200.
They had longer options of 70 minutes to 120 minutes but my previous experiences with KGFE girls gave me pause since the language barrier made things awkward. So I always just did 50 mins.
Foreigners also have additional hurdles to schedule in advance. If a specific girl caught my eye, I'd have to go in person to schedule her and pay an additional 2000¥. Otherwise, had to take your chances and just walk in and see what your options were.
Now onto the actual fun details. Here's how most of my experiences went.
I walked into the soapland to the front desk. Pointed to the menu and chose the 50 min option and handed over the fee. They would then pull cards out for each girl that was available. Sometimes I'd only have 2 girls to pick from but mostly 4-5 options would be presented. After I made my pick, I'd be escorted to a waiting room.
In the waiting room, I was always provided water and a questionnaire about what my sensitive areas are and what I liked. After a few minutes, the host would come get me and say my girl was ready for me.
I'd be escorted to the room and inside would be essentially a large massage table and a shower/bath area. Some soaplands are large enough for a mat on the ground for some nuru, but the ones I frequented were too small to accommodate.
I would be asked to undress or the lady would undress me. And direct me to soak in the tub while she prepared the soap, she would also have me brush my teeth and rinse. Once the soap was ready, she would tell me to get out of the tub and sit on a chair that conveniently let my twig and berries to dangle. She would then soap me up all over and I could feel her up too. Start with my feet and soap me all the way up including some stroking. She would move behind me and soap up my back and stroke me from behind
We would rinse and get in the tub together. Now this is the difficult part for me. I'm a large man. I'm 6'5 and close to 300lbs. I fill up the entirety of the tub. But these tiny women would still find a way to squeeze in across from me. They'd have me lift my legs out of the tub and prop myself up so she could blow me. After a few mins, we'd get out of the tub, towel off and we'd go to the makeshift bed.
Depending on the girl, this is where the experience would be different. Sometimes we would 69, or just get a bj, or go straight to sex. Some girls would do cbj while others would do bbbj. Sex was always with a condom. Kissing was OK sometimes too.
After I would finish, she'd tell me to get back into the tub to rinse off. She'd soap me up again and hose me down. Dry off, get dressed and leave.
