Kyoto adult nightlife · for foreigners
500+ visits. So you don't have to guess.
Kyoto is temples by day. After dark, most visitors have no idea where to start — and most adult shops don't make it easy for foreigners. I'm Mr.IDA. I've visited more than 500 adult shops across Japan, and this site tells you exactly how it works in Kyoto, in plain English.
One pick, not a list
No directory of a hundred shops. One shop in Kyoto that I'd send a friend to.
I know the people
I know the president of the group behind my pick personally. If something goes wrong, I can call.
Licensed and foreigner-friendly
I only recommend shops that have filed with the police and welcome foreign guests.
Prices in plain English
What it costs, how to pay, and what's included — before you walk in.
