Tokyo Hostess Lounge Membership and Charges

This guide explains how to read Tokyo members' hostess lounge listings and prepare a first enquiry. The examples come from Japanese customer pages checked on 10 October 2026. Read the Tokyo hostess lounge directory for the individual venues; these examples do not establish a universal Tokyo policy. [1] [4] [6] [7]

What this category means

Here, 会員制ラウンジ means a members' hostess lounge. The category keeps these listings separate from dance nightclubs and generic hotel or cocktail lounges. The venue's own customer terms control entry and billing; the word "members" alone is not a full admission policy. [1] [4] [6] [7]

Membership is venue-specific

703 permits a first visit without an introduction and explains registration, including a business card. THE TOKYO LOUNGE publishes a yearly membership amount without explaining all eligibility conditions. Do not assume either arrangement applies elsewhere. [1] [6]

• Ask whether you can visit as a new guest and whether you need a member, employee or hostess to introduce you.
• Ask whether membership costs anything, how long it lasts, and whether each guest must register.
• If you do not have a business card, ask what alternative the venue accepts.
• Confirm visitor eligibility and language assistance directly; an English name or a tourist district does not establish either.

BEKKAN lists membership at JPY 10,000 per year and separate Member / Trial rates. Trial does not establish walk-in entry or registration eligibility. [10]

Read the rate labels before comparing prices

These labels are present in the reviewed schedules, but a label is not proof that drinks, requests or room use are included in the SET. Do not describe them as tips unless the operator explicitly does so. [4] [6] [7]

BEKKAN: an entrance amount is not an hourly SET

BEKKAN's First Lounge entrance is Member JPY 4,000 or Trial JPY 6,000, with separate Lounge / Counter seating amounts and no stated entrance or seating duration. Its Introduce line gives around 20 minutes; Stay and Request do not state periods. Attend is separately listed at JPY 10,000 per person without defining when it applies. Ask what each label means instead of turning them into an hourly package. [10]

Junior Suite and Suite Room have their own room periods and extension rates. First Lounge service differs for Member and Trial; both room sections list 30% service and 10% tax. Confirm the calculation bases and whether guest, drink and other charges are additional. [10]

Automatic extensions and time limits

703 and AJITO expressly use automatic extensions. Decide the intended length of your visit before sitting down and ask staff for the checkout deadline. THE TOKYO LOUNGE's "Midnight Charge" starts at 22:00, not 00:00. CIRCUS's private-room section charges a solo visitor for two people; that footnote is not a general main-floor rule. [2] [4] [6] [7]

BEKKAN also lists a 22:00 surcharge, despite calling it Midnight Charge. Its two operator sites agree on a 01:00 finish and published Sunday operation, but opening is listed as 19:00 on the customer site and 20:00 on the linked recruitment site. Treat the discrepancy as a question for the operator, rather than choosing the more convenient time. [10] [11]

Ask for a quote you can actually use

Request an estimate that separately names the initial timed charge, extension, guest count, membership, room, requests, accompaniment, solo or late-arrival extras, drinks, service charge and tax. Ask which items are optional and which are mandatory for your proposed visit. Keep the venue's reply for reference; a directory cannot guarantee a bill.

Do not add two percentage labels without knowing their bases. Do not present 703's extension fee as its initial SET: the initial price page remains in preparation. A price marked "from" is useful only when the inclusion and unit are clear. [3] [4] [6] [7]

A practical Japanese enquiry

The following is a proposed customer enquiry, not a statement that any lounge accepts the request:

初めて伺いたいのですが、紹介は必要でしょうか。〇月〇日〇時に〇名で、メインフロアを〇分利用したいです。会員登録料、セット料金、注文料金、指名料、同伴料、シングルチャージ、延長料金、サービス料、税金を含めた見積もりを教えてください。自動延長ですか。延長しない場合、いつまでに会計をお願いすればよいですか。

Meaning: "I would like to visit for the first time. Is an introduction required? We would like the main floor on [date] at [time], for [guests] and [minutes]. Please give an estimate including membership, SET, orders, requests, accompaniment, single charge, extensions, service and tax. Are extensions automatic, and when must we ask to pay to avoid extending?"

If relevant, add: 日本語が話せない外国人旅行者でも利用できますか。英語での対応は可能ですか。名刺がない場合、会員登録には何が必要ですか。 This asks about a non-Japanese-speaking foreign visitor, English assistance and registration without a business card. It does not predict the answer.

Which sources answer which questions

Use the customer System, membership, FAQ and Access pages for visitor terms. A recruitment page's hourly wage is not an admission price; its staff dress rule, staff age requirement or transport allowance is not a guest policy. An old website still being online is not proof of current operation. See Ichigoichie Roppongi's historical record for a documented example. [8] [9]

Before leaving for the venue

• Get a reply confirming the date, admission and party size.
• Save the Japanese address, floor and customer telephone number.
• Confirm payment, dress and photography rules if they matter to your visit.
• Save the written estimate and the planned checkout time.
• Compare alternatives in the Tokyo directory; keep dance events in the nightclub directory.
