Trip report: Japan, February 2026, 10 days. Overall rating: 6/10.
Spent most of my time in the Tokyo Kabukicho area. Prices were reasonable. The scene has improved compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $45/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were generally good-looking. Not as many as I expected.
Food was cheap and delicious. Ate like a king for under $10/day.
Overall: Good trip, might try somewhere new next time.
Happy to answer any questions.

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

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

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 girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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