Japan’s Red Light District 1: Characteristics and origins of the Funabashi area

The first red-light district in Japan that we will introduce is Funabashi, which is located in Chiba Prefecture, the same area as Narita Airport. It is said to be a popular area in Chiba Prefecture with many commercial facilities.

One of the attractions is that you can enjoy public gambling such as horse racing, boat racing, bicycle racing, and auto racing. Of course, it is also a prosperous red-light district, and is one of the top red-light districts in Chiba Prefecture.

In addition to delivery health services, there are many hotel health services, in-store health services, erotic beauty salons, and soaplands. Therefore, you can choose the type of industry depending on the type of service you want to receive.

The south exit area of Funabashi once flourished as the Funabashi red light district. In the early Showa era, it was also known as “Kaijin Shinchi” and was a thriving area until the anti-prostitution law was enacted. As a result of its remains, it is now a Japanese red-light district where you can enjoy a retro atmosphere.

From Narita Airport to Funabashi

You can access Funabashi from Narita Airport by train. First, from Narita Airport Station, take the Keisei Narita Airport Line Skyliner, a paid limited express train on the Keisei Narita Airport Line and Hokuso Railway Line.

To reach Shin-Kamagaya Station in 2 stops, transfer here to the Tobu Noda Line’s Urban Park Line. If you take the Urban Park Line for 5 stations, you will arrive from Narita Airport Station to Funabashi Station in approximately 44 minutes.

Japan’s red-light district 2: Characteristics and origins of the Sakaemachi area

The second red-light district in Japan that we will introduce is Sakaemachi, which, like Funabashi, is located in Chiba Prefecture, the same area as Narita Airport. Sakaemachi has long flourished as a soap town, and now hotel health and delivery health services are also gaining popularity. However, Sakaemachi’s appeal is that it is rich in industries such as soaplands and health stores.

With over 40 soapland stores, it can be said to be one of the top red-light districts in the country. Also, because there are so many of them, the price range is also wide.

Sakaemachi is now famous as a soap district, but it used to be a prosperous shopping district rather than a red-light district. Later, in 1952, Akebono-cho became famous as an entertainment district within Sakae-cho.

In 1957, the Turkish bath industry began to develop and the city opened as a soap street. Initially, only Akebono-cho was an entertainment district, but now the entire Sakae-cho is flourishing.

From Narita Airport to Sakaemachi

You can access Sakaemachi from Narita Airport by train. First, from Narita Airport, take the limited express Narita Express on the JR Narita Line.

Japan’s red-light district 3: Characteristics and history of the Yoshiwara area

The third red-light district in Japan that we will introduce is Yoshiwara.

Yoshiwara has no delivery health or health stores, and only soaplands are open. Therefore, it can be said that it is a perfect red-light district for foreign tourists visiting Japan who want to visit soaplands. There are many soaplands in Yoshiwara, so the price range is wide.

When the Edo shogunate was established, many red-light districts were established in the city, but Yoshiwara red-light district was the first to gather these red-light districts in one place.

At that time, it was located near Nihonbashi, but as it became the center of the city, it was moved to near Asakusa. Starting in 1768, there were eight fires, but each time it was rebuilt and became the current Thorpe Street.

Japan’s red-light district 4: Characteristics and origins of the Omiya area

The fourth red-light district in Japan that we will introduce is Omiya, located in Saitama Prefecture.

Omiya is adjacent to Chiba Prefecture, where Narita Airport is located, and is one of the top-class downtown areas in Saitama Prefecture. Omiya has different charms in the south and north, and is divided into Minami Ginza and Kita Ginza. Minami Ginza is full of restaurants, while Kita Ginza is the red-light district with soaplands.

Omiya’s appeal is that you can enjoy services at reasonable prices. During the Edo period, Omiya flourished as a post town.

At the same time, it flourished as a red-light district. Although Saitama Prefecture declared the abolition of prostitution during the Meiji era, Omiya did not accept this and the business continued.

Therefore, in 1919, Saitama Prefecture implemented a prostitution policy, gathering prostitutes from all over the country to Omiya and allowing them to operate there. In 1927, the prefecture was closed to prostitution again, but it remained as a restaurant, and after the war it became a red light district to this day.

From Narita Airport to Omiya

You can access Omiya from Narita Airport by train. First, from Narita Airport Station, take the Keisei Main Line’s paid limited express Keisei Narita Airport Line Skyliner.

From Ueno Station, take the JR Joetsu Shinkansen or JR Tohoku Shinkansen for 18 minutes and you will arrive at Omiya Station. Therefore, it takes approximately 59 minutes to get from Narita Airport Station to Omiya Station.

Japan’s Red Light District 5: Characteristics and origins of the Yokohama area
