Is This Your Business?
 

A 'business hotel and sauna'. Costs between 1,800 yen and 2,200 yen depending on age. (Take proof if you want to pay the lower price). On the second floor there is the traditional Japanese bath, sauna, steam room, showers, and plunge pool. Also TV room. Upstairs various rooms with beds - some rooms open, some with low partitions. You can pick someone up in the sauna and take them to the steam room (dark) or upstairs to one of the many rooms (which can be booked for privacy). Or just wander around and watch - and join in!
and lube can be bought at reception, but beware - a lot of unsafe appears to go on.
Mixed range, plenty of younger men, and some older. there is also an area in the basement which appears to be for under 39 year-olds only.
