Yamoto

Step out of Yamoto Station and you're in a quiet residential area. Signs along the main road appear here and there, but nothing flashy. This is a town where locals go about their daily lives.

Yamoto is the central station of Higashimatsushima City, about 40 minutes from Sendai on the Senseki Line. The station area has supermarkets and restaurants, giving it a lived-in feel. Adult venues are scattered along the national highway a bit from the station and within residential blocks.

The adult scene in Yamoto is almost entirely delivery health (delihe). There are almost no storefront-type establishments; the norm is dispatch to hotels. Prices range from ¥12,000 to ¥15,000 for 60 minutes, slightly cheaper than in Sendai city. Fewer than 10 shops, so options are limited.

Besides delihe, there are a very small number of erotic massage (esthe) places, but if you're looking for serious adult services, delihe is the realistic choice. No soaplands or pink salons, and no SM clubs.

Access by train from Sendai is convenient, but watch out for early last trains. Visiting by car is more practical, and some shops offer parking. Business hours are generally from afternoon until late night.

This area is not very suitable for foreign tourists. Japanese language support is standard; don't expect English or Chinese guidance. Since it's a locally oriented service, it's safer to call ahead or go with a Japanese friend.
