The river street beside Gion. A listing may be in-store or outcall. Kyoto has no soapland street. Read the card. We do not take the booking.
Beside Gion, along the canal. Shijo and Sanjo are not one walk.
Keyamachi is the street along the canal, one block east of Kawaramachi and west of the Kamo River. Gion is on the other side of the river. This page is the Keyamachi side. Kyoto has no soapland street. Fashion health means you go to the shop. Outcall (delivery health) means staff come to your hotel. The listing says which. Lanterns in a photo are not a shop list.
Ukiyo Nights lists a shop here only if it has filed the required adult-entertainment notification and follows the law. We show one total price on each listing. Street touts can be ignored; a registered shop does not need a catcher.
Hankyu Kyoto-Kawaramachi sits at the west end of Shijo. From there, the Shijo end of Keyamachi is a few minutes on foot, and the walk toward Sanjo is longer. Keihan Gion-Shijo is across Shijo Bridge. Allow about 5–15 minutes into Keyamachi, longer when Shijo is crowded. You cross the bridge; there is no underground link. Do not treat Gion as the destination. Kyoto-Shiyakusho-mae, on the Tozai Line, serves the north end: about 5–15 minutes into the street, and a listing at Shijo is the longer walk from this station. From JR Kyoto, ride the subway two stops toward Shijo, then one Hankyu stop to Kyoto-Kawaramachi. Allow about 15 minutes including the transfer. That reaches the Shijo end; the north end is a longer walk. JR Kyoto is not a short walk on its own. A taxi from Kyoto Station to the Shijo end is about 10–15 minutes. Show the driver the address on the listing. A listing north of Sanjo is not the same block.
Four steps. The shop handles the booking — not this site.
The card says in-store or outcall, plus the total, languages and payment. If a shop is on this page, it has filed the required notification. Empty listings mean we have not published a shop yet.
LINE, phone or the details on the listing. Ukiyo Nights does not make the reservation. The Contact Kit on a venue page can draft a Japanese message for you to send.
For fashion health, go to the shop. For outcall, be at the hotel you agreed. From Kyoto-Kawaramachi, the Shijo end is a few minutes and the Sanjo end is longer. Gion-Shijo is about 5–15 minutes across the bridge, longer when Shijo is crowded. Kyoto-Shiyakusho-mae is about 5–15 minutes, and a Shijo listing is the longer walk from there. From JR Kyoto, allow about 15 minutes including the transfer to Kyoto-Kawaramachi, or about 10–15 minutes by taxi to the Shijo end. Show the driver the address on the listing.
Pay the agreed amount. Do not haggle. A hotel’s own room charge is separate from the shop’s total. Ask anything unclear before you continue. Tattoos, language and ID rules are the shop’s to set.
Keyamachi, beside Gion. Schematic — not a street map.
At the west end of Shijo. The Shijo end of Keyamachi is a few minutes on foot. Toward Sanjo, the walk is longer.
Across Shijo Bridge. About 5–15 minutes into Keyamachi, longer when the bridge is crowded. Gion itself is not the address on a listing.
The station for the north end. About 5–15 minutes on foot. A listing at Shijo is the longer walk from this station.
From Kyoto Station to the Shijo end, about 10–15 minutes. Traffic on Shijo can be slow. Taxis run after the last train. North of Sanjo is a different block. Show the driver the address on the listing.
The listing total is the figure to confirm — not a bid.
Keyamachi courses are priced by the shop, the format and the length. Ukiyo Nights will show one total on each card when a shop is listed. Confirm that number before you set a time. For outcall, the hotel’s own charge is separate. Optional extras must be agreed in advance.
Cash is common. Cards and e-money depend on the shop. Do not haggle. Tips are not required.
Shop rules decide the rest. Ask if it matters.
Some shops can handle English, Korean or Chinese. Many cannot. Use the languages line on the listing, then confirm.
Some shops refuse visible tattoos. Covering them is the cautious default. Ask before you travel.
A shop may ask to see identification. Bring your passport. Age 18+ only.
Ignore street catchers. A registered shop does not need one. Use the address and the format on the listing.
Keyamachi-specific. The general visitor guide is separate.
