soapland
Prostitution, as defined under modern Japanese law, is the illegal practice of sexual intercourse with an 'unspecified' (unacquainted) person in exchange for monetary compensation, which was criminalised in 1956 by the introduction of article 3 of the Anti-Prostitution Law (売春防止法, Baishun bōshi hō). However, the definition of prostitution made illegal under this law is strictly limited to sexual intercourse with an 'unspecified person', and does not criminalise the sale of numerous other acts performed by sex workers in exchange for compensation, such as oral sex, anal sex, mammary intercourse, and other non-coital sex acts; the Businesses Affecting Public Morals Regulation Law of 1948 (風俗営業取締法, Fūzoku eigyō torishimari hō), also known as the "Law to Regulate Adult Entertainment Businesses", amended in 1985, 1999 and 2005, regulates these businesses, making only one definition of prostitution in Japan illegal. Following the criminalisation of payment for sexual intercourse, the sex industry in Japan has developed into a number of varied businesses and offering services not prohibited under Japanese law. These fall into a number of categories known by various euphemistic names, such as soaplands, fashion health shops, and pink salons, with the term "health" commonly being a euphemism for sexual services. These businesses typically operate out of physical premises, either with their own employees or freelancers such as call girls, who may operate via Internet dating sites known as deai sites (Internet dating sites) or via delivery health services.

soapland
Soapland is a type of adult entertainment establishment, typically found in Japan, where customers can receive various sexual services from the staff. The services offered may include bathing, massages, and sexual intercourse. The term "soapland" originated from the use of soap during the bathing process, which is often central to the experience provided at these venues. It is important to note that while soaplands operate within legal boundaries in Japan, their services are restricted to adults and regulated by the government.

Soapland
Soapland or sōpu is a Japanglish word constructed from the two English words "soap" and "land" and is part of Japan's sex industry also known as Mizu shōbai. Since sexual intercourse for money is officially prohibited by the Japanese government, many different types of brothels in Japan have been developed. In Soapland, clients engage in non-penetrative sex with prostitutes to achieve orgasm. Typically, male clients are laid upon a waterproof mattress where they are then covered in personal lubricant and massaged to orgasm by the female prostitute's body. This avoids the technicalities of the law by officially stating that the clubs do business where the client is bathed. Although the main clientele for soaplands are male, there are also a few soaplands specifically for female clients. There are various kinds of soaplands, and they are usually located in complexes with varying numbers of soaplands. Well-known complexes are located in Susukino in Sapporo, Yoshiwara and Kabukicho in Tokyo, Kawasaki, Kanazuen in Gifu, Ogoto in Shiga and Fukuhara in Kobe and Sagaminumata in Odawara but there are many other areas, especially in onsen towns. Prices for a session at a soapland vary depending on location, time of day, and length of the session.
