In contemporary Japanese night space, Delivery Health is a dispatch model: a small office answers calls, a scheduler coordinates travel, and a provider meets the client at a private room (business hotel, love hotel). Lighting, signage and “lobby encounters” typical of lounges are absent; instead, flows are digital—phone, web, and messaging. As a form of institutionalized intimacy, contact is choreographed within time-boxed sessions and hotel etiquette. Services are framed as “health” or “relaxation,” yet in practice they are standardized forms of close contact (e.g., manual/oral contact) negotiated within local norms—described here as urban culture, not titillation.
Users are typically ages 20–50, split between short weekday sessions and longer late-night bookings; multilingual support is rising in tourist districts. The model intersects with transport patterns (last trains, station-hotel clusters) and municipal nighttime economies.

1. What is Delivery Health in Japan?
Delivery Health in Japan is codified by metropolitan and prefectural police as a “non-storefront sex-related special business.” The Tokyo Metropolitan Police describe this as dispatching a worker to a customer’s room to provide contact-based services; this is an official legal classification, not a marketing term. See the category list under “無店舗型性風俗特殊営業（派遣型ファッションヘルス等）.” Conclusion: learn the legal name first → category: non-storefront → official definition: Tokyo Metropolitan Police (業種一覧).
1-1 Legal frame (why it matters)
Because it’s a police-regulated category, eligibility (age, ID), operating procedures, and complaint handling follow formal rules. For study details, see the national police overview of the regulation act (風営適正化法). Conclusion: know the framework → check the act overview → source: National Police Agency (overview PDF).
1-2 What Delivery Health is and isn’t
It dispatches to hotels/private rooms; no public waiting room. It is not a lounge or cabaret; sessions are private, time-boxed, and pre-quoted. Contact is standardized (e.g., bathing assistance is typical in hotel-health variants), but public display is absent. This makes it discreet and transport-driven.
1-3 Typical session flow (institutionalized intimacy)
Inquiry → screening (ID/age) → quote time/fee → meeting at hotel → session → settlement. Most offices operate near major stations to reduce dispatch time; last-train patterns affect availability.
2. Which areas are best and how do you access them?
2-1 Area overview (Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka)
Kabukichō (Shinjuku): the archetypal night district with dense hotels and late trains. For civic updates and events, consult the official Kabukichō portal (商店街振興組合). Conclusion: start here → landmarks/events guide → source: Kabukichō Official Portal.
Ueno & Ikebukuro: multi-line hubs with straightforward metro access and mid-range hotels. See Tokyo Metro station pages for real-time operations and maps: Ueno (G16/H18), Ikebukuro (M25/Y09/F09).
Namba (Osaka): bars, restaurants, and love hotels concentrate around Namba/Minami. Use the official Osaka Metro station pages: Namba (M20) / Namba (Y15).
Nakasu (Fukuoka): compact nightlife island with convenient subway access via Nakasu-Kawabata. Use the official Fukuoka City Subway page: Nakasu-Kawabata Station.
2-2 Access tips (last trains & station exits)
In Tokyo, JR Shinjuku’s late services make meeting logistics easier. Conclusion: aim for Shinjuku East side hotels → check schedules → source: JR East: Shinjuku Timetables. For Ikebukuro and Ueno, Tokyo Metro pages include maps/exits and service notices: Ikebukuro map, Ueno.
2-3 Table: Access & Hours
Table 2: Access & Hours
| Station | Walk Time | Hours / Notes | Area (JP Link) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinjuku (JR) | 5–10 min to Kabukichō hotels | Check late trains; multiple lines | JR East Timetable (JP) |
| Ikebukuro (Metro) | 6–8 min to East-side hotels | Exit guidance/maps provided | Tokyo Metro Ikebukuro (JP) |
| Ueno (Metro) | 5–7 min to hotel belt | Easy transfer JR/Keisei | Tokyo Metro Ueno (JP) |
| Namba (Osaka) | 5–12 min around Minami | Multiple metro lines | Osaka Metro Namba (JP) |
| Nakasu-Kawabata (Fukuoka) | 4–8 min to riverside hotels | Airport line direct | Fukuoka Subway (JP) |
Walk times are typical within each district’s hotel cluster. Always confirm last trains; links are to official operator pages.
3. What do prices, time blocks, and eligibility look like?
3-1 Time & fee bands (what to expect)
Urban competition yields predictable brackets: entry sessions at ¥12,000–¥18,000 / 60 min, mid at ¥20,000–¥28,000 / 90 min, late-night surcharges after 22:00. These reflect dispatch travel/time and hotel-room costs (paid by the client). ※参考情報（editor’s note）: price bands are indicative snapshots synthesized from multiple official store pages sampled at the time of writing; individual shops vary.
3-2 Eligibility & ID (official)
Conclusion: you must be legally adult and comply with police-category rules → check the official definition and local implementation: Tokyo Metropolitan Police: category list and Osaka Prefectural Police: fūei page. Hotels may request ID at check-in.
3-3 Table: Venue Types & Base Fees
Table 1: Venue Types & Base Fees
| Venue Type | Typical Fee (JPY) | Session Time | Official (JP Link) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery Health (non-storefront dispatch) | ¥12,000–¥18,000 | 60 min (entry) | Tokyo MPD: categories |
| Hotel Health (dispatch to love hotel) | ¥14,000–¥22,000 (+ room) | 60–90 min | Osaka Police: fūei page |
| Storefront Health (for comparison) | ¥6,000–¥12,000 | 40–60 min | Tokyo MPD: categories |
Numbers indicate typical base fees observed in major cities; actual shop prices vary. Links point to official category definitions (一次情報). Room charges and late-night surcharges are extra.
4. What venue types and services exist?
4-1 Delivery Health vs. Hotel Health
Both are “non-storefront” categories in police terminology; Hotel Health emphasizes love-hotel meeting points and often integrates bathing assistance prior to close contact. Conclusion: decide by logistics → if you already have a hotel room, Delivery Health is direct; if not, Love-hotel zones around stations make Hotel Health convenient. See the official category descriptions: Tokyo MPD.
4-2 Standardized contact & boundaries
Sessions usually include greeting, hygiene steps, and agreed contact (for example, non-intercourse manual/oral contact) framed as “health/relaxation.” This is an institutionalized performance of intimacy—scripted, timed, and bounded by law and hotel policy. Explicit negotiation of unsafe acts is refused.
4-3 Urban choreography
Because there’s no storefront, the city provides the “set”: hotel corridors, elevator timings, and lobby discretion. Civic portals like Kabukichō’s site foster area identity and events that shape foot traffic and staffing. Reference: Kabukichō Official Portal.
5. How do you reserve, behave, and what phrases help?
5-1 Reservation steps (dispatch model)
- Choose an area near a big station to reduce dispatch time (see Table 2).
- Call or submit a web form with: preferred time, course length, hotel name, and room number (once assigned).
- Confirm fee, options, and any late-night surcharge.
- Prepare ID if requested by hotel; keep phone reachable.
Eligibility and category compliance follow police rules; see Tokyo MPD. For tourists needing English assistance in Tokyo, the Ueno Metro tourist info desk is JNTO-certified: Tokyo Tourist Information (Ueno).
5-2 Etiquette (quiet, punctual, clear)
- Quiet lobbies: no filming, no loud voices; meet discreetly.
- Hygiene: shower when asked; it’s part of the script.
- Boundaries: requests outside agreed service are declined; respect “no” promptly.
- Cash: have exact cash unless otherwise instructed; some offices accept transfers.
5-3 Table: Reservation & Eligibility

6. Summary and Next Steps
Delivery Health is a dispatch-based, legally defined model. If you remember one thing: area + access + time window predict availability and price more than anything else. Use the official station and civic pages for reliable maps and hours, and always follow ID/eligibility rules from police category guidance.

SoapEmpire Recommendation: If you’re reading this, you probably face three hurdles: information overload, unclear legality, and language friction. Delivery Health is simple in structure but complex in practice: dozens of area choices, shifting last-train times, hotel rules that change by chain or staff, and booking scripts that assume local Japanese. A beginner can spend hours comparing sites and still miss the small but important details—like whether your hotel accepts visitors after midnight or how late-night surcharges stack with room fees.
The practical solution is to treat the experience like any urban service: define the logistics first, then fill in the details. Pick the district closest to your base (Kabukichō, Ikebukuro, Ueno, Namba, or Nakasu), decide your session window (for example, 60–90 minutes before the last train), and confirm the hotel name and room number ahead of time. From there, you can compare a small set of providers whose time bands and dispatch routes fit your plan. This approach keeps costs predictable and minimizes waiting.
SoapEmpire exists to compress that planning into minutes. We map areas by station exit and hotel cluster, translate the police category into plain English, and surface only the details you need: price bands, time windows, and access. Because we focus on Delivery Health in Japan and related sub-types, we understand how non-storefront operations really work at night—what tends to be available when rain slows taxis, which exits are fastest, and how to phrase simple requests that staff immediately understand. We don’t romanticize the scene; we optimize it for travelers and residents who want a straightforward, respectful experience.
With SoapEmpire, the benefits are clarity and calm: less wandering, fewer phone calls, and a smoother arrival at your room door. If you prefer, we can handle the booking entirely: you tell us the store name (or just area + time), and we confirm the rest. Our 24-hour booking support for only $10 is designed precisely for first-timers and short-stay visitors who don’t want to spend their nights troubleshooting logistics.
For reservations or inquiries, please contact us via the inquiry form. We’ll help you align area, access, and price—so your plan matches the city’s nighttime rhythm.
