You've probably already been and left, but I don't think the Japanese government has the resources to check every address of every person visiting Japan. I've gone and moved around the country, changed Airbnbs, etc., but none of that was reflected on my immigration form. I would just put any hotel. They won't check. I think they'd only refer to that if there were a problem and they needed to find you.

I doubt it.

I stayed at the Apa hotel in Ginza and Tokyu Stay in Nishishinjuku and didn't have any problems. There was a sign at the Apa saying unregistered guests were not permitted, but I just met my friends outside and then walked in with them and got on the elevator together - people at the desk were always too busy to notice. Same in Kyoto - no problem. Last time I had an Airbnb and again, no issues with guests (though some Airbnb listings make a point of saying no guests and making it sound pretty scary if you break the rule). I think there may be issues in some hotels and Airbnbs, but not all. I doubt any hotels will say they are "guest-friendly".

Glad you had a good time! I'm planning on returning in a few months.

It was just that one time, but as I said, I think things happen. On Sniffies, Therma Yu is listed as a cruising spot and it says guys go to the restroom. I went to an onsen in Chichibu and saw guys with boners who definitely seemed to be cruising. Seeing all of those hot naked men definitely made me horny.

Yeah, I really don’t know, but this has me thinking about if I return to Colombia. I have one friend I want to see, and I know I can trust him not to drug and rob me, but as far as any new guys, I may meet them at a motel first. I only had that one experience at a love motel and from then on just had guys come to my Airbnb because the motel experience was so difficult with all of the precautions. But now I see that those precautions were for my safety, even though I wasn’t worried because the guy I was meeting had quite a digital profile and obviously was trustworthy. I wonder if Colombia has gotten more dangerous in recent years as the economy is not the best and people seem to be getting away with a lot. I just hope everyone plays safely.

I’m 65, used to be pleasantly plump, but lately have lost weight and am back in the gym. Oh, wait, I’m 66 now. Anyway, I’m finding there are guys who are attracted to older men, one even told me I looked too young for his taste, and there are also those who like guys on the heavy side. Embrace it. And enjoy it. Sounds like a fun time.

I’m foggy on the details of the case and too lazy to go back and read, but my one experience at a love motel was very secure. I hired an escort from Mileroticos. He insisted I check in and send him a photo of the room before he would come, so there was also caution on his end. When I checked in, they told me to use the lock box in the room, but I only had enough to pay for the escort and I’d paid for the room in advance on the app. They said they would check his ID, so I made sure to let him know (he was already familiar) and then not allow him to leave until they were sure I was okay. So I am not sure if it would have helped in this situation, but my comment was based on my experience, they seem safer than going to someone’s place or having them come to yours.

Totally reasonable. How far in advance do you suggest reaching out to Manny? I'm looking for someone on the older side, more respectable looking, who I won't feel uncomfortable bringing into my hotel. I'm looking for a guy who likes to get sucked mainly, and he doesn't have to be huge, just handsome, nice body and enjoys head. Probably more than you need to know, but when should I contact Manny? Also, do you recommend also using him for airport pickup? PS - thanks for all of the information you provided and especially the pics.

I think the issue is people don't know the answers to those questions. At least I don't. I know a few restaurants, but none that fit his criteria. Don't know about WiFi speed outside of hotels, don't know weekend locations outside of Boca Chica, don't know about Tinder, and I don't know the neighborhood he chose. Other than that, there is a ton of information already provided here. Can you answer any of his questions?

Question is, did you return?

Forget the forms. Just email them.

I'm planning a trip back to Japan in the spring and will be in Nagoya for about three weeks. I've been going through all of the threads and found a few agencies with offices there, but wondering if anyone has been and has any recommendations.

I didn't have any issues in the two Airbnbs I stayed in on my last trip, but from what I recall, they do have "no guest" policies. I think I passed over a few because they threatened fines or eviction if the policy was violated, so read the rules carefully. I think they are probably especially vigilant around Kabukicho and Shin-Okubo areas. Most of the agencies have a room you can use for a nominal fee.

Great report, but it sounds so dangerous. Were you not concerned at all about safety?
