Japan's Adult Shops

[Sherry]

Love Merci
AKIHABARA
M’s isn’t the only adult shop in Akihabara. Otaku enjoy sex too, people. Love Merci is another shop found in Electric Town and is located right on the main street. It’s nearly as big as M’s, but it feels a bit less touristy.
The first two floors cater to women with costumes, lingerie, and vibrators. It makes it easier for ladies to browse without having to go near the extreme stuff like tentacle-inspired onaholes (literally woman holes…you can probably guess what these are used for).

• Recommended for: Men (women are allowed on the first floor)

Tenga Store
YURAKUCHO
Tenga is the Apple of masturbation toys. They make the most innovative sex toys on the market—both for men and women. Seriously, once you try Tenga’s “Air-Tech” your hands will be regulated to all the boring duties such as…holding stuff. There are a couple of small dedicated Tenga stores found inside the Don Quijote shops of Akihabara and Ikebukuro. The latest is located in the Hankyu Men’s department store near Tokyo Station.

• Recommended for: Mostly men, but there are items for women

Affix Parapara
KICHIJOJI
Affix Parapara is a small store found near Kichijoji Station that specializes in BDSM gear and fashion. It’s very well known within Japan’s fetish scene. If you follow any BDSM scenesters in Tokyo, there’s a good chance they got their gear from here.

• Recommended for: Men and women into latex, BDSM, and fetish fashion

M's

​

The creativity involved in Japan's porn industry is on full display at this seven-floor sex goods shop next to Akihabara Station, and the best way to peruse their wares is slowly, from the top down.


The top three floors are given over to DVDs. Hop out of the lift at the seventh, walk past the posters of porn stars, and you're immediately confronted with hundreds of transgender skin flicks and shelves packed with 'mature' content. It's here, too, that you'll find what are billed as used panties, offered as part of a 'gachapon' game costing ¥1,000 a hit. 'Normal' and used DVDs take up the remainder of these floors.

On the fourth floor you'll find all you need to host a rollicking cosplay event, with gym slips and tartan schoolgirl uniforms being the order of the day (tartan miniskirts start at ¥3,500). Things are ever-so-slightly more upmarket on the third floor, where you'll find two rooms of women's lingerie. It's not exactly Agent Provocateur, but it's a little more tasteful than the French maid stuff being flogged upstairs.

​

Things take a turn for the hardcore on floor two, where whips, masks, ball gags, vibrators and dildos are all present and correct. The most fiercesome looking item we saw was the Robotech Reviber (¥7,800), a frightening amalgamation or dildo, catapult, and the throttle from the cockpit of a Boeing 747 – more an instrument of torture than a pleasurable treat for a loved one.

The store is most most riveting on the first floor, where it's all about fake vaginas and anuses, each promising the most realistic experience imaginable. At the time of writing, the Tenga products were grabbing all the attention (fake throats and vulvas in what look like deodorant bottles; a 'Deep Throat Cup' will set you back a mere ¥850). However, the products that really stood out claimed to be accurate recreations of the orifices of some of Japan's best-loved porn actresses. Why Madame Tussauds didn't think that up first, we'll never know.

One of the most interesting things about a trip around M's is just how normal it feels. Sure, you'll find the occasional lurking man, but it seems to be particularly popular with young married couples. If it weren't for the corkscrew butt plugs on floor two, you might just as easily be in Uniqlo.

For Your Pleasure

​

Rather than displaying run-of-the-mill bullets and lubricants, this cheeky shop in the backstreets of Omotesando caters to a more particular crowd. For Your Pleasure sources its merchandise from the top fetish fashion brands abroad and displays labels by the likes of Demask and Dead Lotus along with some local designer brands.

​

Expect to pay a steep price for leather collars and corsets – they’re not just repurposed halloween costumes. Even if you’re not planning to squeeze into a latex catsuit anytime soon, some of the store’s accessories including nipple tassels are more tasteful than you’ll find elsewhere.

C'est Bien

https://www.cestbien.jp/​

Specialising in S&M toys, C’est Bien covers all fronts from whips and chains to paddles and even chastity belts. For those looking to perfect the art of shibari (a Japanese rope bondage technique), you’ll find cords of hemp rope of different lengths and colours as well as medical-grade knee and elbow support wraps to protect your nerves (safety first!).


At any given time, the store stocks roughly 7,000 items for your perusal. Don’t be scared off by the more extreme metal restraints – if you need a breather, simply ask the staff to direct you to the hot wax section and come away with a lovely brightly coloured candle.

Condomania (Harajuku branch)

The iconic cheeky sex toy shop, perched in an impossible-to-miss position on the intersection of Omotesando and Meiji-dori, has relocated to a back street nearby. While the original Condomania in New York has since moved entirely online, its prominently placed Harajuku outpost continues to do a roaring trade. There's a good range of prophylactics on offer, though most customers appear to be more interested in novelty goods like the Orange Juice condom carton and chocolate flavoured rubbers. It can be a perfect funny gift.
