Tips for cruising:

A major source of information for cruising in Japan can be found in the sex listings of http://www.cruisingforsex.com/.

If you are planning to visit AYOR locations for sex, read this note below. Japanese policemen usually do not harass guys having sex in the T-room (cottage, toilet for cruising) stalls. But you still have to be careful. It's because of "pro(fessional)s" and gay-bashers. Pros come in two types. One is middle-aged ex-yakuzas who extort money by blackmailing those who come to T-rooms. Another is young unidentifying hustlers who demand money after having sex. No negotiation is made beforehand. They extort money from their baffled johns afterwards by blackmailing. And gay-bashers are not unheard of at Japanese parks. Brutal homicides have been reported especially at Komazawa Koen Park. So watch your steps and proceed AYOR.

I have some more preliminary pieces of information here. For other sex clubs and saunas, refer to http://www.cruisingforsex.com/. As soon as I get the details as for directions and the actual status of admittance of non-Japanese guests, I'll send them off to the CruiseMaster there.

Before the information is posted there, refer to the BAdi magazine's ad pages in the back if you read Japanese.
