Total Waste of Time - Not Gaijin Friendly

Agree with the other reviews re: snobbish crowd... no one was engaging just constantly walking around doing nothing. Almost as though every guy in there thought they were better than the other. Lol Pretty comical. I spent almost two hours in there on a weekend night with at least 40/50 guys and maybe saw 5 guys actually get together. I'm a good looking fit military gaijin in my late 20s, so I'm not posting this review out of spite - this place genuinely sucks. Don't waste your time here. There are plenty of other great hattenba in the area where guys are actually there to play and not just mindlessly walk around staring at each other.

Not big but can be fun

The entrance is really hidden. You can follow google map to book off, face to the building, there is a stair down ward a lt your left side. Actually there are two , another is called bear camp, where the entrance is on your right hand, also down stairs. The entrance fee is 1500 yen. When you come in before paying you have to take off the shoes immediately. To be honest it’s really not big, compared with R3 in BKK, Hutong in Hongkong, even Fahrenheit in Manila, but it’s Tokyo, so just accept it. There are lockers , shower rooms and cruise area devided into 2 parts, especially there is a door links to another club: bear camp! Anyway, if you are proactive, there are a lot of fun awaiting for you.

Great Place

Great place! Many hot guys there and staff were friendly. Was so hot to experience 3 Japanese men playing with each other :D Wanted to try Japanese myself, but the two guys I had with, were Chinese and the other Taiwanese.. HAHA, but I had fun. Highly recommended with reasonable price ¥1,500 and re-enter same day for just ¥100 fee. Clean facilities, too!

This place should be boycotted!

This place may be a hidden gem, but the fact that they openly have age discrimination is simply grotesque. What’s the point for holding a Pride march here in Japan where they even discriminate against their peers? It’s laughable!!! What’s more? One day, all patrons there will bloody reach 40.

Many attractive Japanese men

Great location, acceptable facilities and cleanliness. Most importantly, there were many attractive Japanese guys when I visited. They were very cute and polite. Love this place. I'll be back!

Hidden Gem

It's my 2nd time in Tokyo and I decided to give this cruise club a try, instead of going to the more popular Kaikan 24. I’m in mid 30's, Asian (a Japanese guy said I looked like Okinawan) and on the hefty side. This is where I found the hottest guys in Tokyo, young and good-looking. They know they are, so expect that some will be snobs but not ALL. Hmmmmm I personally think that Japanese guys are not shy at all, especially if they do like you. Try to initiate first and you might hit the jackpot which I did! This place is cheaper (half the price of Kaikan 24). Not too small and not too big, just right. And yes the staff are HOT as well.

Arrogant snobbish manager & patrons

I am fit 45 and was refused entrance when I went last week because of my age. This week I was accepted for some reason. Inside full of snobby guys with attitude. I saw 4 foreigners and talked to 3 who agreed not very welcoming. I think there are better places.. and God forbid if you are over 40, then you are rotten meat at this place. AVOID IT.

I’m rejected because they said my hair is too long

I’m 38 and i was rejected too. the receptionist gave me a reason that’s because their shop concept is “short hair only”, which mine is not long at all (average men’s hair). I don’t know the actual reason but I don’t care anyway

Impressive and recommend

The staff were friendly and I indeed had an impressive experience there. Foreigners would be warmly welcomed and you can find any type of guys from monkeys to bears, the youth to the mid-aged. The BGM intended to be seductive and with an ocean-wave sound mixing with the hot breathing sound in the room. There is brief instruction over the locker area to figure out the “top/bottom” problem. Different parts ringing the locker key stands for different roles. So do make sure about that. Condoms, oil, and tissue can be easily attached to the cabinet. Some cabinets are separated with either curtain or doors that can be locked up, but some are just totally opening.

This is spot on.

This is spot on. The huddle room connecting the bear club is full of sleeping guys, tissue scattered on the floor.

This place is too small

Many attractive guys but difficult to do anything. Mostly only sticky rice and the place is really really small. I just stayed for 30 min and left as I did not see a way to fun here. Went back to Kaizan where fun was almost guaranteed. Most spaces are occupied by sleeping guys and there is not many spaces to start with.

Very nice spot

This place was packed early on a Saturday but started to thin out around 11pm. Lots of very attractive guys and almost all Japanese guys when I went (no foreigners, though the place is welcoming of foreigners). Excellent choice.

young but snobbish crowd

The crowd is young but snobbish. Mostly Asian guys but saw Caucasian guys a few times.
