Eine Gay Sauna in Tokio findest du vor allem in und um Shinjuku Ni-chome. Das bekannteste Haus ist das 24 Kaikan, das über mehrere Etagen geht und rund um die Uhr geöffnet hat. Daneben gibt es weitere Saunen und sogenannte Hattenba, also Cruising-Lokale, die teils auf ein bestimmtes Publikum ausgerichtet sind. Während manche Häuser eher auf Entspannung mit Bad und Ruhezonen setzen, geht es in anderen klar ums Cruising. Weil vieles zentral in Ni-chome liegt, lässt sich ein Saunabesuch gut mit einem Abend in den Bars verbinden.
Ein paar Dinge sind in Tokio anders als in Europa. Tätowierungen werden in manchen Häusern nicht gern gesehen, das hat historische Gründe und ist kein Werturteil, frag im Zweifel vorher nach. Englisch wird nicht überall gesprochen, in den Saunen rund um Ni-chome kommt man aber meist zurecht. Handtuch und Spind bekommst du in der Regel vor Ort. Je nach Haus und Tageszeit liegen die Preise unterschiedlich. Weil einige Saunen feste Tage mit besonderem Programm haben, lohnt der Blick auf Themenabende. Wer das erste Mal in Japan in eine Sauna geht, sollte sich kurz über die örtlichen Gepflogenheiten informieren, dann wird der Besuch entspannt. Die folgenden Adressen zeigen dir, welches Haus zu deinem Abend passt.
