Japan Club

About us

A detached-cottage-style room scented with hinoki cypress, a gate of zelkova wood and stepping stones, and a bathtub of Shigaraki ceramic: JAPAN Club, a soapland (a Japanese bathhouse-style brothel) in Fukutomicho, Yokohama, has a purely Japanese-style room just like that. It sits in a corner of the building known as “Yokohama Bettei” (Yokohama Villa). Besides it there are “Fuji”, an Edo-style room with stones laid along the corridor and a bamboo grove, and “Yakusui”, where rare medicinal woods cover the ceiling and walls and a faint scent of herbs hangs in the air. Each of the 3 rooms welcomes guests with its own theme. Reportedly, everything from the furnishings to the bathtubs was made by hand with great care.

Past the entrance is a lobby with a grand piano. There are 9 waiting rooms, all private, so that guests can avoid meeting other customers from arrival to departure. The private rooms on each floor are also spacious and quite varied, with jet tubs in some and chandeliers in others. It is one of Yokohama's leading top-class shops, said to be visited often by celebrities.

The standard 110-minute session costs 65,000 yen in total, and the 140-minute Yokohama Bettei session costs 90,000 yen in total. Members get 120 and 150 minutes respectively. Prices for foreign customers are also published in English, and visitors from abroad are welcome. It is open from 10:00 to 24:00 (reservations are taken from 9:00). It is 5 minutes on foot from JR Kannai Station and 3 minutes from Hinodecho Station on the Keikyu line, and it has its own parking lot.
