Managers of “Kadoebi” Soapland Arrested on Suspicion of Providing Venue for Prostitution
August 26, 2020
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has arrested five individuals, including the manager of the long-established soapland “Kadoebi Group,” Toshi Sakaguchi (48) of Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, and the store manager, Daisuke Sakamoto (39) of Aoto 4-chome, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of violating the Anti-Prostitution Law by providing a venue for prostitution. The announcement was made on the 26th.
Upon investigation, Sakaguchi allegedly stated, “It was the store’s business policy.” He is believed to have overseen the operations of several other stores within the group, and the police are investigating the actual management situation.
According to the Public Safety Division, Sakaguchi and others are suspected of knowingly providing a venue for female employees to engage in prostitution with unspecified clients at the “Kameari Kadoebi Store” in Kameari 5-chome, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, on June 20. A customer who had a dispute with the store had consulted the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
The Kadoebi Group operates 31 stores in the Kanto region. While prostitution is completely prohibited by the Anti-Prostitution Law, and those who provide a venue for it can face imprisonment, there are no penalties for the individuals engaged in the act of prostitution itself.

[Exclusive] Two Soaplands in Yoshiwara Face “Closure Orders” Despite Long-standing “Vested Rights” – Host Allegedly Forced Woman into Prostitution to Collect Debt – Tokyo Public Safety Commission
7/24/2023
In an incident where a male host allegedly forced a female customer to work at a soapland in the Yoshiwara district of Tokyo, it has been revealed that this soapland has received an administrative order to cease operations.
The case involves a man in his 20s, who was working at a host club in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. To collect a so-called “tab” or debt, he allegedly made a woman in her 20s work at a soapland in the Yoshiwara district of Taito Ward in December of the year before last. He was arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in January of this year and subsequently found guilty.
The soaplands where the woman worked, “Peppermint” and “Santa Fe”, saw their operators arrested on suspicion of providing a venue for prostitution. Further investigations revealed that on the 21st of this month, the Tokyo Public Safety Commission issued an administrative order to cease operations for these two establishments.
It is believed that the two establishments were given this severe “closure” penalty, rather than a mere “suspension of business”, due to their habitual provision of venues for prostitution and the severity of their actions.
This is the first time in eight years that a red-light establishment in Tokyo has received a “closure” order.
Both establishments have been operating for many years, since before 1985 when they were designated as prohibited business areas due to amendments to the Entertainment Businesses Act. They were allowed to operate under what is known as “vested rights”.
However, even establishments with “vested rights” can be ordered to cease operations if they engage in illegal activities, as stipulated by the Entertainment Businesses Act, leading to this recent decision.

Soapland Operator and Former Manager Arrested in Sendai for Violating Anti-Prostitution Law – Miyagi Prefectural Police Begin Investigation Due to Point Card
October 26, 2022
On the 26th, the Miyagi Prefectural Police’s Living Environment Division and Shiogama Police Station arrested two suspects on charges of violating the Anti-Prostitution Law by providing a venue for prostitution at the “President Club” soapland located in Ichibancho 4-chome, Aoba Ward, Sendai City. The suspects are a 65-year-old corporate executive from Wakabayashi Ward, Sendai City, and a 47-year-old construction worker from Aoba Ward. This is the first crackdown on a soapland by the prefectural police in 27 years.
The allegations state that between early January 2021 and early March of the same year, the two conspired to provide a venue for their female employees to engage in prostitution with unspecified clients, knowing full well what was taking place.
According to the prefectural police, the corporate executive is the representative of the company that operates the soapland, while the construction worker is the former manager.
The investigation began when the prefectural police questioned a minor under the age of 18 in Shiogama City in early January and found a point card from the soapland in his possession. The police confirmed the reality of prostitution with multiple clients and conducted a search of the establishment and other locations in early March. The fact that the minor had been served at the establishment was also taken into consideration in the crackdown.
According to the prefectural police, the establishment closed immediately after the search.

Two Arrested for Providing Private Rooms for Prostitution Purposes at Soapland
January 23, 2023
At the “Kamakura Goten Flower” soapland in Onahama, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, two individuals were arrested on suspicion of violating the Anti-Prostitution Law for allegedly providing private rooms in the establishment, knowing that female employees were engaging in prostitution. The suspects are Suzuki Shouichi (72), the person in charge on-site, and Nakagawa Mieko (49), the owner of the establishment. The prefectural police have not disclosed whether the two have admitted or denied the allegations, stating it would “hinder the investigation.”
The two are suspected of providing private rooms in the establishment on January 21, knowing that a female employee in her 30s was engaging in prostitution. In October 2022, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department received information from a woman who claimed she had been forced into prostitution at this establishment, prompting an investigation into the establishment’s operations.
The case came to light following an investigation by a joint task force comprising the Fukushima Prefectural Police Headquarters’ Living Environment Division, Iwaki Higashi Police Station, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Ehime Prefectural Police, Kumamoto Prefectural Police, Oita Prefectural Police, and Okinawa Prefectural Police. The investigation revealed that a former host from Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, had forced a woman in her 20s into prostitution to repay a debt of approximately 10 million yen.
Suzuki, the suspect, is the person in charge on-site at the establishment. The task force conducted a search of his residence after 3 pm on January 21, confiscating the establishment’s ledgers and other items. They are currently investigating whether other female employees were also provided with private rooms for the purpose of prostitution and the relationship between Suzuki, Nakagawa, and the former host.

World’s Largest “Sexual Contact Network” Analyzed from Soapland Review Site – Shizuoka University Professors Announce, Hope for Application in Infectious Disease Prevention
December 21, 2022
A group led by Professor Tomo Morita (52) of the Faculty of Engineering at Shizuoka University and Assistant Professor Kei Ito (34) of the Nagasaki University Institute of Tropical Medicine, who completed his doctoral course at Shizuoka University, has successfully analyzed a sexual contact network that represents “who had sexual contact with whom” at domestic sex service establishments. By examining a soapland review site, they revealed connections involving approximately 72,000 male customers and female staff, making it the largest such network in the world.
The research findings were published in the open-access international scientific journal “PLOS ONE”. Professor Morita believes that “this advances our understanding of social structures, and there’s potential for applications such as preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections.”
The team visualized connections formed through sexual contact, which is difficult to investigate from a privacy standpoint, by analyzing review sites. They examined a site covering about 66% of approximately 1,190 soaplands nationwide, including around 10 establishments in Shizuoka Prefecture. From over 120,000 reviews, they extracted connections between about 55,000 male customers and approximately 17,000 female staff.
Their analysis of the number of reviews by prefecture and establishment, as well as the frequency with which male customers used sex service establishments in various locations, revealed strong networks between major metropolitan areas like Tokyo and Kanagawa. Strong connections were also observed between distant locations like Hokkaido and Fukuoka. They also found that while many male customers had sexual contact with a limited number of people, some had contact with a very large number of female staff. The network structure connected everyone through an average of 9.87 intermediaries.
Professor Morita and Assistant Professor Ito commented, “Traditional surveys had their limitations, but we’ve been able to present vast scientific data. We hope this contributes to understanding social networks.”
[Note] Social Network: A network refers to a structure connecting points with common ties, such as computers worldwide or airports. A social network represents structures like friendships within a society or business relationships between companies. It’s known for the “small-world hypothesis”, which suggests that anyone in the world can be connected through just six acquaintances. Various network analyses are conducted to elucidate complex social structures like real-world organizations and economic activities.
