This matches my experience. Japan is underrated.

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

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

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

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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