Minami-Koshigaya

At night, Minami-Koshigaya is known as one of the liveliest entertainment districts in Saitama. Neon signs light up the multi-tenant buildings and back alleys near the station, drawing local office workers and visitors.

Geographically, the area is served by two stations: Minami-Koshigaya Station (Musashino Line) and Shin-Koshigaya Station (Tobu Skytree Line). Both are a short walk from the adult entertainment zone. The district is compact and easy to navigate even for first-timers.

The adult scene is centered on soaplands, with over 20 shops clustered around the station. Prices range from ¥15,000 to ¥25,000 for 60 minutes, which is reasonable compared to Tokyo. Delivery health services are also abundant, mostly the type that dispatches girls to hotels. Fashion health and pink salons are fewer but present.

For foreign visitors, soaplands are the most accessible option. However, English-friendly shops are limited, so advance confirmation is recommended. Delivery health services often require Japanese language skills, and you'll need to arrange your own hotel.

The best time to visit is weekday evenings from 7 PM to 10 PM. Weekends can be crowded with wait times. There are business hotels and capsule hotels near the station, making it convenient for overnight stays.

A word of caution: while the area is relatively safe, you may be approached by touts or scouts. Ignore them and head directly to your chosen shop. Some soaplands may require ID at entry.
