I just recently came upon a great post about Tokyo from another board, and in the name of international mongerhood, I hope the author (Itaidesuka) does not mind if I post it here:
Ikebukuro report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is some information about clubs in the Ikebukuro area. Everything listed below is within a 5 minute walk from Ikebukuro station.
First, the bad news. The Not Foreigner Friendly list:
Image Club;
Nyankees (
http://www.nyankees.jp/index2.html ).
Maybe (

LA.IN.UP (
http://www.la-in-up.com/)
Colours (

I listed these just so no one else will waste their time looking there.
Now the good news. The Foreigner Friendly list:
Health;
Can confirm that UCLA Little Bear (
http://uclabear.kir.jp/) is friendly, however the first question I was asked was “Can you speak Japanese?” and it was covered BJ for all foreigners. Good service though.
Image Club;
Kuikomi Clinic. This is listed as “Takana no Loli” in
www.tokyopinkguide.com. Kuikomi belongs to the “Major Group” (
http://www.major-grp.com/) so actually all the following are friendly also (and this has been confirmed);
Maruchi Club (
http://www.maruchi-club.com/)
Marchmellow (
http://www.purupai.com/)
Maid Image (
http://www.maid-p.com/)
Maicching (
http://www.h-school.jp/)
Yes, all foreigner friendly. However there is a catch. You need to have some Japanese language skills. No English here. I wouldn’t suggest anyone go here unless you can speak Japanese enough to CONFIDENTLY ask for who and what you want, and to understand basic instructions like times and directions! Basically, if your language skills are OK to buy a train, bus or airplane ticket in Japanese, then you can probably operate here also. I say this because the system here is similar to buying a train, bus or airplane ticket. OK, it’s not quite like "Can I ride the 14: 30 Airi-chan running express to gansha? ", but you hopefully get the idea.
All 5 image clubs above operate out of the same building, so although they have separate web sites, it really is just one operation. There are plenty of girls there to choose from (more then 40 each day), although the superstars are usually booked out. All J-Girls. Quality of service ranges from well below par to absolutely fantastic. Service wise, it’s a bit of a lottery, but at least you always know what the girl will look like. It’s always BBBJ and usually CIM is OK as a 1000 yen option. The usual JAV type options are available. As with everywhere, negotiate directly with the girl for FS. Photo, information and girls all match up, although sometimes a girl who looks hot in a photo actually isn’t so (and thankfully sometimes vice versa! ). Actually the prettiest girl I had (a 10/10 to my eyes) didn’t look that great in her photos. All the girls on the websites ARE actually the girls available, and there are many more new girls that are not on the web (yet). There are some stunners available.
Basic system:
To the left of the small white building is a flight of stairs. The doorway has a plastic curtain, so it’s easy to know you are in the right place. Walk up the stairs. A big sign at the top tells you how many girls are available. 58 today! Whoo Hooo! If it’s busy a guy at the top will ask you which club you want (get the name right) and will give you a ticket and show you to a "waiting area". When your ticket number is called go to the booth. If it’s not busy, just walk in and go shopping. Only the booking process happens here and there are actually no girls here. Inside, there is a small booth for each club and each one has an attendant, but everything is pretty "open" I. E. You can see everyone waiting and everyone in the actual booth making a selection. The booths from left to right once you are at the top of the stars is are Kuikomi, Maicching, Maid, Marshmellow and Maruchi. Photos (no mosaic) and "vital data" for all the girls are on the walls. Some girls have been in magazines and done AV, so some of that information is on the walls also. Yummy! Want a BBBJ from a JAV "star" or a ko-gal magazine model? No problem! Actually at each booth will be photos of the girls "available" that day. I say "available", because the superstars will probably be fully booked up. Pick a club and have a chat to the attendant (remember, no English here! ) about whom and/or what you want. Choose a girl, options, course and course duration. Sometimes there will be a costume selection. Pay up, including the photo selection fee (1000), a once off club joining fee (2000), plus additional option fees. Most prices are similar between clubs. If the girl is not available immediately, you get a small ticket and are asked to return to the office later. When your time is ready, you get detailed instructions on how to get to the local ST hotel (better understand that Japanese, or you won’t have much fun! ) and are sent off on your merry way with your ticket. The hotels are within a few minutes walk away. At the hotel, hand in the ticket. There is an additional 2000-3000 Yen hotel fee. Go to room and wait and wait The girls arrive in civilian clothes and will change into costume when appropriate (if that is actually what you want). Time starts as soon as the girl walks in the door.
I haven’t met a girl who can speak any English, and that included a girl who recently lived and studied overseas for a year! Some of the girls are fun, cute, chatty and provide a fantastic GFE. Some girls are lazy, fat, totally bored and/or scared. Good luck, I’m not posting names or making recommendations.
Check the websites for specials. Recently Kuikomi had the 50 minutes course for 9999 Yen including photo selection fee, with no ticket required. Bargain! Is that the cheapest young hot J-girl BBBJ, CIM, COF in Tokyo? Also there are offers like Jyuri (another who has done JAV) at Kuikomi who will do AF for free to a new customer, if you’re into that sort of thing.
