Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Did you feel safe using taxis?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

This matches my experience. Japan is great value for money.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.
