Delivery Health (Deriheru): A Glimpse into Japan’s Unique Red Light Service
In the intricate maze of Japan’s modern conveniences and age-old traditions, there exists a peculiar yet thriving industry – the “Delivery Health” or “Deriheru”. A segment of Japan’s adult entertainment realm, this service brings a great mix of intimacy right to the customer’s doorstep. Let’s embark on a comprehensive exploration of this uniquely Japanese phenomenon.Previously, we’ve touched upon the nuances of Japan’s red-light industry, highlighting how Health services, unlike Soaplands, do not involve intercourse. Some may question the appeal of such a service, but let’s delve deeper before drawing conclusions.
Understanding Health Services
Health services, encompassing Fashion Health, Hotel Health, and Delivery Health, offer a variety of experiences catering to different sexual preferences, including niche concept stores. The core offerings across these services are similar, with the main distinctions being the method of selecting a companion and the location of the encounter. This post will primarily focus on Fashion and Hotel Health, explaining how to navigate these options and why they are so popular in Japan.
Locating a Health Service Establishment
These services are typically clustered in a city’s nightlife and red light districts. Despite their discrete exteriors—often indistinguishable from ordinary office buildings—they can be found with a bit of guidance. Look for subtle R18 signage or consult the establishment’s website for detailed access information, including directions from nearby train stations and landmarks. This approach saves time and spares potential embarrassment from aimlessly wandering in a red light district.
When visiting a hotel or fashion health service in Japan, clients are presented with various options for selecting a companion. Each option varies in cost and level of choice, catering to different preferences and budgets.
Free Choice
In this model, akin to the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button on Google, clients leave the selection to the establishment based on immediate availability. This no-preference approach often comes at a lower cost, making it an appealing option for those on a tight budget.
Panel Choice or Panel Shimei
Clients select their companion using profile cards, which display information and ratings, like hearts or stars, indicating popularity. Prices increase with popularity, averaging about ¥1,000 per rating level. It’s crucial to check prices beforehand as they can vary by establishment.
Favourite or Honshimei
Similar to Panel Choice, this option allows clients to specifically request a companion they’ve previously selected. It’s designed for repeat customers and typically incurs a higher fee. The chosen companion may receive a bonus from this fee, potentially enhancing the service provided.
Reservation or Yoyaku
For those planning ahead, making a reservation ensures the companion of your choice is available when you arrive. A reservation fee of ¥2,000~¥3,000 is common, but it saves time and ensures a more personalized experience.
Quick Tip:
While free choice may seem economical, selecting a companion ensures a more satisfying experience. Don’t hesitate to inquire about companion availability and ask staff for recommendations.
Choosing a Course Length
After selecting a companion, clients must choose the duration of their service. Options range from 45 minutes to 180 minutes, with prices increasing accordingly. It’s important to note that the time starts once you’re alone with your companion and includes necessary preparations.
Quick Tip:
For first-time visits or selections, starting with a shorter course and minimal extras is advisable to ensure compatibility and satisfaction.
Additional Costs
Besides the base and selection fees, clients may encounter admission fees, Love Hotel room fees for hotel health services, and extension fees for additional time. These fees vary and can significantly impact the overall cost.
Quick Tip:
Always check for ongoing promotions or discounts, as these can offer savings on various fees.
Final Considerations
The total cost of a visit can range significantly based on selections and added services. For instance, a 60-minute course with basic selections typically costs around ¥15,000 to ¥23,000. However, opting for additional services can increase this cost.
Conclusion
A hotel or fashion health service experience can cost between ¥15,000 and ¥25,000 per hour, depending on choices and service level desired. While prices may seem steep, they offer a straightforward and hassle-free option compared to other methods of seeking companionship.
