Erotic massage in Tokyo, ward by ward

Of the five pinned salons, two are in Shibuya. Erotic Massage Shibuya sits in Udagawachō, and Aroma Princess is in Hiroo, listed at Hiroo 2-chome.

The other three wards each hold one pin. Erotic Massage Kinshicho is in Kinshi, in the ward of Sumida. Erotic Massage Uguisudani is in Negishi.

Negishi belongs to the ward of Taito. The salon listed simply as Shinagawa is in Hiromachi, in the ward that shares its name, Shinagawa. That makes four wards in all, with the two Shibuya pins as the only pair.

The remaining seventeen salons are listed without a map pin, because we could not confirm their exact location. They still appear as cards with photos and contact buttons, and several carry place names in their own titles: Aroma Tiger Shinagawa, Shimbashi and Aroma Shin Yokohama, for example. A name is not an address, so ask where the salon is when you first get in touch. Others, such as Aroma Mermaid, Best Aroma, Mrs Dandy and Go Kichi, give no area in their names at all. For these, the salon's reply is the place to look for a location.

All twenty two venues on the Tokyo list are erotic massage salons. None has taken a featured placement, so each card carries photos and contact buttons rather than a link to a page of its own. Named salons include Deli-Yasuragi Tokyo, Tokyo Style, Aroma fantasy, Star-Group, Aromax Rose, Sapporo Sofia and Japanese Massage Tokyo, alongside the five on the map.

We read the website titles of twenty one salons. One of those titles names nuru, the oiled body to body style, and none names tantra. Our nuru massage page explains that style in general terms. For a wider view of what the category covers from city to city, see the erotic massage overview, and the tantric massage page describes another style people search for.

Every card on the list shows photos, which gives a first impression before you write. The card cannot tell you everything, though, so treat the first exchange with a salon as the place to clear up anything you want to know about the session, the address and the timing.

Twenty one of the twenty two cards carry a call button, and the same share, ninety five percent, carry a website button. WhatsApp is rarer: three cards have it, among them Japanese Massage Tokyo and Tokyo Style. The salon listed as Shinagawa shows only a website button, and Aroma Princess shows only a call button.

Prices and opening hours are not published here, so ask the salon directly. A short first message works best: the day and time you have in mind, how long a session you want, and how payment works. Ask for the exact address too, especially for the salons without a pin. Our guide on how to book an erotic massage covers the wording step by step.

If your travels go further, the nearest other cities we publish are a long way off in Vietnam: Hanoi is the closest, then Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Each has its own page of venue cards, set out in the same way as this one.

Shibuya is the only ward with more than one pinned salon, so it is the natural place to start if you want two options in the same ward. Udagawachō and Hiroo both belong to it, which keeps a choice between them simple. The single pins in Sumida, Taito and Shinagawa sit in different wards, so pick one of them rather than trying to combine several in an evening.

Every venue here is a salon, so the evening is built around one booking. With seventeen salons off the map, the address in the reply matters more than any pin. Before you set out, settle the time, the length of the session, the method of paying and the exact location in writing, and keep the conversation in one channel so the details stay together. Bring some cash in case a card cannot be used, and arrive on time. If your plans change, message the salon as early as you can.

It also helps to contact a second salon as a fallback, especially if your first choice has no pin and the address only arrives in the reply. Keep both conversations clear and polite, and cancel the one you will not use as soon as your plan is fixed.

For a first visit, our guide to erotic massage for the first time covers general etiquette, from arriving to saying goodbye.

How many places appear? Twenty two, all erotic massage salons, and five of them have a map pin.

Which wards have pins? Shibuya has two, and Sumida, Taito and Shinagawa have one each.

Do cards carry contact buttons? Yes. Twenty one cards have a call button, twenty one have a website button and three have WhatsApp.

Why do some salons have no pin? We pin only venues whose location we could confirm, so seventeen salons appear as cards without one. Ask for the address when you get in touch.

Do the salons have their own pages here? No. Only featured venues get a page of their own, and none of the Tokyo salons is featured, so each one is a card.

Where can prices and hours be found? Ask the salon directly when you get in touch, since we do not publish them.
