This matches my experience. Japan is one of my favorites.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

How's the nightlife there compared to the Philippines?

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

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.
