Listing criteria

We list shops that meet all of the following conditions.

The shop operates lawfully in Japan
Its existence can be confirmed on an official website, an official social media account, or a shop page in a reliable media outlet
It does not allow persons under 18 to work for it or to use its services

Paying a listing fee is not a condition of being listed. Most of the shops listed were compiled and listed by our editorial team from public information.

How we obtain information

We treat what is stated on each shop's official website, official social media accounts and official recruitment pages as primary information.
Prices and terms stated in secondary sources such as aggregator sites, affiliate sites and message boards are not used unless they can be confirmed against primary information.
Items we could not confirm are left blank rather than filled in by guesswork.
Each shop page clearly states the URLs of its sources and the dates they were checked.

Why we do not publish reviews or experience reports

This site does not publish any customer reviews, experience reports or review scores. There are two reasons for this.

Their authenticity cannot be verified. In the case of anonymous posts, we have no way of confirming whether they were written by actual customers or by people connected with a shop or its competitors. Presenting unverifiable information as a basis for decisions would be dishonest to our readers.
There are legal problems. Displaying reviews created by a business itself, or by a third party at its request, as though they were written by ordinary customers constitutes a misleading representation (so-called stealth marketing) under 景品表示法 (Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations).

How rankings are determined

Rankings are determined solely by scores calculated from public information. Whether a shop advertises does not affect the ranking calculation. All evaluation criteria and point allocations are published in our Ranking criteria.

How we treat features that shops publicise themselves

Features that each shop promotes on its official website are shown in the "What the shop says about itself" section of the shop page. Because they have not been independently verified by this site, they are not used in ranking scores. By showing the shop's own words separately from what this site was able to confirm, we let readers choose which to rely on when making a decision.

Requests for correction or removal

If our content contains a factual error, or if you do not wish your shop to be listed at all, please contact us via the Contact page. After confirming that the request comes from a person connected with the shop, we will promptly correct any factual error and will also comply with requests to remove a listing.

Age restriction

This site covers an adult industry. Persons under the age of 18 are asked not to view this site. We also do not list shops that allow persons under 18 to work.
