I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

This matches my experience. Japan is one of my favorites.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
