How Many Minutes Should You Book for Your First Soapland Visit?

Since visitors usually only come once, it's recommended to go directly to a high-end shop for the first visit and choose the standard package. Most high-end shops offer a standard package lasting 120 minutes, providing ample time without feeling rushed.

Why visit a high-end shop for your first time

When visiting Japan, you can't enjoy yourself every day. Many people first look for budget options to try out, but end up with an average experience and later regret not going to a better place. Instead, it's better to go straight to a high-end shop for your first visit. The environment, service, and overall quality of the hostesses are more reliable and less likely to result in disappointment.

Why Choose 120 Minutes

  • Follow the standard for the most hassle-free experience: Most high-end shops offer a standard package of 120 minutes, so there's no need to overthink it.
  • Not rushed for time: Bathing, chatting, and resting are all included in the time, so you can take your time over the 120 minutes.
  • Perfect for first-timers: It's natural to feel nervous at first, so having a bit more time allows you to relax and settle in.

Booking Steps

  1. Tell our support team: First time visiting, want to go to a high-end shop and choose the standard package.
  2. Choose a hostess: Select two or three candidates based on their schedule and photos. For detailed methods, see How to Choose a Hostess.
  3. Confirm the total price: Specify the duration, and the shop will directly quote the total price for that time. Prices at high-end shops are based on the shop's quotation.
  4. Confirm payment method: About 80% of shops accept card payments. Shops without card machines will charge an additional 20–30% and require you to wait for the machine to be delivered.
  5. Plan your schedule: Include 120 minutes plus travel time. Don't pack your schedule too tightly before and after, as being late will reduce your own time.

Common Pitfalls

  • To save money, choose the shortest time: When time is tight, it's hard to have a good first experience.
  • Don't mention the duration when booking: It's easy to get confused and prices may change if you adjust it upon arrival.
  • Don't drink too much before arriving at the shop: A little drink is fine, but being completely drunk can lead to rejection of service.

Small Reminder

Tattoos don’t matter. Only three situations will actually lead to rejection: having skin diseases, being extremely drunk, or showing disrespect to the hostess.

Flow after arriving at the shop

  1. At the front desk, report your reservation name, confirm the package and total price, and pay according to the agreed method.
  2. Wait in the waiting room, where the hostess will come to greet you.
  3. Once inside the room, you can bathe, chat, and rest— all time is included in the package.
  4. Before finishing, the hostess will remind you of the time, and after getting ready, you can leave the establishment.

In 120 minutes, you don't need to rush. If it's your first time and you're not sure what to do, that's okay—just follow the hostess's pace. Remember not to take photos and to respect the hostess.

Small reminder: Time is calculated from the actual start, not from the reservation time

For example: you booked for 12 o'clock, but the hostess arrived at 11:40 and started at 11:45. After finishing and getting ready, when you look at the clock, you think the time seems short if calculated from the scheduled 12 o'clock start time, and assume that time was "stolen." Actually, this situation rarely happens. Whenever we receive such feedback, we check it and mostly find this to be the cause.

  • Start by checking the clock and note the actual start time.
  • Or simply ask the front desk: When does my time start?

Related questions

Why is a high-end shop recommended for first-time visits?

Visitors don't work every day, and when they visit once, it's better to go directly to a high-end shop for more reliability. The environment, service, and overall quality of the hostesses are more guaranteed.

How long are the services at high-end shops?

The standard package for most high-end shops is 120 minutes, subject to the specific packages offered by each shop.

How much does a high-end shop cost?

Prices at high-end shops are based on the shop's quotation. Please clarify the duration when making a reservation, and the shop will provide the total price for that duration.

What to do if you're nervous on your first visit?

No need to rush; think it through and get in touch when you're ready. No one will pressure you to make purchases.

Feeling like time has gotten shorter—has it been stolen?

Almost never. The time is calculated from when the actual service begins, not from the reservation time. For example, if you book for 12 o'clock but it starts at 11:45, the duration will be calculated from 12 o'clock, making it feel shorter. Note the start time when the service begins, or ask the front desk about the starting time.
