Japan — Legal Help

Anti-Prostitution Law 1956 bans penetrative paid sex; the "fuzoku" industry of non-coital adult services operates legally in grey zone. Most fuzoku venues refuse foreigners ("gaijin okotowari") — a handful of foreigner-friendly venues exist.

Embassies & consular help

If you are detained, ask police to notify your embassy — they can provide a lawyer list and consular visits, but cannot pay fees or intervene in the case.

Locations from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), verified 2026-07-23. Confirm the emergency number on your embassy's official site before travelling.
