Quick question for the Japan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Is Japan worth visiting?

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $139/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
