Soapland began in Japan after compensated sexual intercourse between strangers was criminalized in the late 1950s. Initially called “Turkish baths”, these establishments offered bath services where women would wash men’s bodies. However, after a campaign in 1984 led by a Turkish scholar, the name was changed to “soapland.” This term combines the English words “soap” and “land.”
Soaplands exploit a legal loophole in Japan, where sexual intercourse between acquainted individuals is not considered prostitution. Customers pay an entry fee for bathing and a separate fee for a massage, during which the masseuse and client become “acquainted.” This arrangement makes subsequent sexual activity legal under Japanese law. However, some soaplands have been prosecuted under the Anti-Prostitution Law in past decades.
Soaplands are found across Japan, especially in areas like Tokyo, Sapporo, and Amagasaki. Although mainly catering to men, a few soaplands serve female clients. Prices vary depending on location, provider, and session length.
The biggest soapland in Tokyo is the Yoshiwara area; a few are in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. But a non-Japanese guy will be rejected immediately at a soapland. As a traveler in Tokyo who uses the out-call service to book a girl, coming to your hotel will be the best and safest choice.
