How far in advance is it best to book?

The most reliable approach is to book within 2 weeks in advance. Popular hostesses are often fully booked within 1 week.

Can I make a same-day last-minute reservation?

Very popular hostesses are usually hard to book. If you don't mind the selection, our LeLe TV support team can search multiple shops at once during that time slot.

How do I get to Yoshiwara?

For transportation routes and how to get to the shop, please see LeLe TV's Yoshiwara guide.

Will I be charged more if the hostess comes to my place?

Price rules vary by shop, and you should always confirm the total price before entering, even if you visit directly.

Walking Into a Yoshiwara Soapland Without Booking?

You can come directly to the door, but popular hostesses are usually fully booked on the same day. Foreign guests are also often turned down. To be safe, it's recommended to book in advance and confirm the hostess.

What to Expect from Direct Home Visits

Want to book someone but can't: Soapland operates on a reservation system, and popular hostesses are often fully booked within a week. Visiting on the day usually only leaves the remaining slots.
Easily turned down: Staff must explain rules in Japanese. Foreign customers who show up unexpectedly may be rejected because the shop doesn't have time to confirm which hostess will receive them.
Price is revealed at the door: If you don't ask for the total price in advance, you might find your budget insufficient once you arrive at the shop.
Easily encounter street touts: While walking around looking for a shop, people often approach and recommend services. See Frequently Asked Questions about Soapland (24 Q&A).

Steps for Making a Reservation in Advance

Select date and time: The most reliable way is to book within 2 weeks in advance. Hostesses usually only provide the shop with a schedule for one month, so dates too far in advance won't be available.
Choose a hostess: Review the schedule and photos to select two or three candidates, and confirm that she works with foreign guests. For your first visit, it's recommended to directly choose a high-end shop.
Confirm total price and payment method: About 80% of shops accept card payments. Shops without card machines will charge an additional 20–30%, and you'll have to wait for the machine to be delivered.
Check the route: Follow the transportation methods described in the Yoshiwara guide to reach the shop. Don't be late, as being late will reduce your time.
Reply to confirmation messages: Our support team will send a message the day before and on the day of your visit for confirmation. Reply promptly when you see it.

What if you really want to go on the same day?

If you book in advance and don’t have strict requirements for the hostess, LeLe TV's customer service will search multiple shops simultaneously during that time slot, significantly increasing the success rate compared to booking directly at a shop. Sometimes when top hostesses become available at the last minute, they can prioritize booking for you.

Small Reminder

Don't drink too much before going out, as shops may refuse service if you're too drunk.
Tattoos don't matter, no need to worry.

Direct Visit vs. Advance Booking Comparison

Selection: When coming directly, you can only choose from those available that day; with advance booking, you can select the hostess you want to meet based on their schedule.
Foreign guests: When coming directly, it's necessary to confirm on the spot who will receive foreign guests; with advance booking, this is already confirmed.
Price: With direct arrival, the total price is only known upon arrival at the shop; with advance booking, the total price is provided in advance.
Payment: When coming directly, you might encounter situations where card payments are not accepted; with advance booking, you can inquire about payment methods beforehand.
