Gifu

Gifu Prefecture, while close to Nagoya, is a region with its own culture and history. Rather than an entertainment district, adult shops are scattered within residential and commercial areas.

Geographically, Gifu City is the prefectural capital, with some shops concentrated around JR Gifu Station and the Yanagase area. However, there is no large-scale red-light district; shops are dispersed.

The adult industry here centers on soaplands, delivery health, and pink salons. There are only a few soaplands, with prices slightly lower than in Nagoya. Delivery health offers more options, typically dispatching to hotels. Pink salons are a handful near the station.

Overall, the number of shops is limited and the scale is small. Services for foreign tourists are scarce, and Japanese language support is standard.

Access: about 20 minutes from Nagoya on the JR Tokaido Main Line. A car is convenient for getting around. Visiting on a weekday evening is relatively quiet and recommended.

Note: some shops may refuse foreign customers. It's advisable to check by phone or email in advance. Also, many shops are cash-only, so bring cash.
