  • A Private Concierge Experience for Privacy-Conscious Women

    A Private Concierge Experience for Privacy-Conscious Women

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Work, family and other responsibilities can make life feel full of expectations. During a visit to Japan, you might want a little time that belongs only to you.

    A moment away from titles and roles

    You need no elaborate explanation for wanting a private experience. OPUS does not ask for your real name or a separate phone number in an initial inquiry. We focus on the atmosphere you want, not unnecessary details about your life.

    Perhaps you prefer no photographs, communication by message or a quiet setting. Tell us, and we will explain which arrangements are possible.

    Quiet preferences matter, too

    Some guests do not know how to describe what they want. Others feel shy about meeting someone new. We want to listen rather than expect you to entertain or impress anyone.

    External communications, payment transactions and hotel systems may retain their own records. We will explain what we can establish rather than promise complete erasure.

    A space for your own time

    You may rediscover a different, more relaxed side of yourself while travelling. We hope to welcome that possibility with care.

  • Why OPUS Requests Only Essential Personal Information

    Why OPUS Requests Only Essential Personal Information

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Thoughtful service does not begin by finding out everything about a guest. Sometimes it begins by not asking questions that are unnecessary.

    We begin with what you hope for

    For an initial inquiry, we focus on your dates, area, number of guests, preferred course and questions. We do not require a real name or separate phone number at that stage. You do not need to explain where you live or who shares your home.

    A woman writes on a document at the hotel counter at a polished hotel reception desk beside a landscaped Japanese courtyard; a dark folder lies open on the desk.

    Travelling internationally already involves providing documents to airlines and hotels. Contacting OPUS should not mean preparing another bundle of personal paperwork.

    When information is needed, the reason matters

    Certain hotels and payment services may have their own identity checks. These are distinct from OPUS’s initial inquiry. If a detail is needed for a particular procedure, it should be clear who needs it and why. You are welcome to ask.

    Limited collection is not the same as no records

    Actual storage and data practices should be explained through the applicable privacy policy. We do not want “we ask for little” to be mistaken for a promise that nothing will be recorded.

    Respect includes knowing when not to ask

    We value what you choose to share—and respect what you prefer to keep private.


  • Keeping Your Time Together Private in Japan

    Keeping Your Time Together Private in Japan

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    A special evening during your trip may be something you would rather keep to yourself. We understand that your time belongs to you.

    We respect the boundaries of your personal life

    We focus on the practical information needed for the service and on your preferences. You need not explain your professional or family circumstances. If you prefer messages rather than calls, or discreet communication, tell us and we will explain the options available.

    A seated woman smiles while holding a sparkling-wine glass in a warmly lit guest suite beside a landscaped Japanese garden; a tall glass and small flowers are arranged on the table.

    We cannot promise that no record will ever exist. Messaging services, payment providers and hotels keep information according to their own systems and policies. We will distinguish what OPUS can explain from what external organizations control.

    It is reasonable to ask which records may remain

    A payment statement, a phone notification and a hotel’s guest records are different matters. Tell us what concerns you so we can answer the relevant question clearly. We will not offer an ungrounded “absolute guarantee.”

    You do not owe us an explanation

    You have a life outside this experience. Handling the time you choose to spend privately with respect is part of our idea of hospitality.

    Can You Inquire Without Giving Your Real Name?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    You may be curious about a private experience in Japan yet hesitant to share your real name at the very beginning. OPUS understands that feeling.

    No real name or separate phone number for the first inquiry

    “I’m thinking about a 120-minute booking in Tokyo next month.” A message like that is enough to begin. You do not need to decide how much of your personal life you wish to share. If your trip is still tentative, you may simply ask how the process works.

    We separate privacy from necessary procedures

    A hotel or payment provider may require personal details for its own legitimate process. That does not mean OPUS requires all of that information when you first contact us. We aim to explain who is requesting information, why it is needed and at what stage.

    If Japanese service customs are unfamiliar, ask us. You deserve understandable answers before choosing what to share.

    We are interested in your wishes, not interrogating your life

    You do not have to discuss your work, family or living situation simply to explore a booking. What matters to us is how you would like to spend your time and what arrangements are possible.

    Trust can develop gradually

    There is no need to disclose everything to someone you have never met. Begin with what feels comfortable.


  • Can You Book OPUS Without a Passport?

    Can You Book OPUS Without a Passport?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    When you are abroad, being asked to send a photograph of your passport may feel unsettling. It is an important document, and you deserve to know why anyone needs it.

    OPUS does not request a passport for its booking process

    Our policy is not to require presentation of a passport for an OPUS reservation. You may begin by telling us the date, area and number of guests. There is no need to prepare a passport image for your initial message.

    A woman speaks face to face with hotel reception staff at an elegant marble hotel reception with large floral arrangements; a wheeled travel case is beside her. A pale tailored coat hangs from the woman's shoulders.

    A hotel’s requirements are separate

    Hotels in Japan may request identification from guests, depending on their nationality, residence status and other applicable rules. Those are hotel check-in procedures, not a requirement to send your passport photograph to OPUS.

    If a hotel asks for something you do not understand, you can ask us to explain the distinction. We cannot waive a hotel’s legal or administrative requirements, but we can help prevent confusion between the two processes.

    Personal information deserves care

    You do not need to provide your real name or a separate phone number for an initial OPUS inquiry either. If another service provider requires information at a later stage, its purpose and recipient should be made clear.

    Ask before sending

    Not knowing Japan’s procedures is nothing to apologize for. Please ask us when something is unclear, especially before sharing sensitive documents.


  • 120, 180 or 240 Minutes? Choosing Your OPUS Course

    120, 180 or 240 Minutes? Choosing Your OPUS Course

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    When you are meeting a Japanese companion for the first time, it can be difficult to imagine how long two hours will feel. OPUS offers three basic durations. The prices below are for one international female guest.

    120 minutes | Space for a first meeting

    ¥80,000. This is the starting course. Picture the first greeting, a little nervous laughter, and conversation gradually becoming easier. You do not have to fill every minute with a planned activity.

    180 minutes | Time to enjoy the atmosphere

    ¥140,000. If you are considering a meal or some travelling between locations, additional time may appeal to you. Whether meals, outings or particular venues are possible depends on the agreed service and circumstances. We can explain what can be arranged.

    240 minutes | A more leisurely Japanese evening

    ¥180,000. This may suit a woman who wants to enjoy the conversation and setting without continually checking the clock. More time is not automatically the best choice; your comfort matters most.

    Unsure? Ask us

    You can simply say, “It is my first time and I don’t know which to choose.” Tell us your travel dates and the mood you hope for, and we will explain the options. Separate prices apply when two international female guests book together. Applicable travel expenses and hotel charges will be identified separately.

    Your time, at your pace

    Whichever duration you consider, this is your experience. We can begin by talking through the possibilities.


  • How to Inquire About OPUS via WhatsApp

    How to Inquire About OPUS via WhatsApp

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Calling an unfamiliar number in Japan can feel daunting, especially if you do not speak Japanese. Using a familiar messaging app can make the first step gentler.

    You can begin with “Hello”

    Our official WhatsApp contact is https://wa.me/817023653390. You can ask questions even if you are not ready to book. “I’m visiting Japan,” “Could you explain the prices?” or “I don’t speak Japanese” are all fine. There is no need for a long introduction or personal documents.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone inside a bright Japanese café looking out onto traditional roofs and trees; a cup and saucer sit within reach.

    If you know the date, city and number of women, you might write: “Tokyo / November 12 / one woman / 120 minutes.” Leave undecided details undecided. We can explain what information is helpful next.

    There is no need to rush after our reply

    We may suggest dates, companions, fees and the terms required to confirm a reservation. If something is unclear, ask again. An exchange of WhatsApp messages is not itself a confirmed booking; you can simply say that you are still considering your options.

    Response times and the languages available with individual companions vary, so contacting us ahead of your trip is helpful.

    Your first message does not need sensitive information

    OPUS does not require your real name or a separate telephone number for the initial inquiry. You need not include a passport image or hotel room number. If a hotel or payment provider has its own information requirements, we will distinguish their purpose from our inquiry process.

    A message in your own words

    “I’m interested, but still thinking about it.” That is more than enough to open a conversation. We look forward to hearing from you.


  • Hotel Costs and Extra Fees: What to Confirm

    Hotel Costs and Extra Fees: What to Confirm

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Unexpected expenses can make any trip stressful. Japan’s short-stay hotel rates and different weekend prices are not always easy to understand from a travel guide.

    Course fees and hotel fees are different

    For one international female guest, the basic OPUS courses cost ¥80,000 for 120 minutes, ¥140,000 for 180 minutes and ¥180,000 for 240 minutes. A room or hotel facility may charge separately, depending on its location, schedule and rules. We will explain what is included in our price and what may need to be paid elsewhere.

    If you are wondering what a Japanese love hotel’s “rest” rate means, or whether your current hotel allows a visitor, you are welcome to ask. Hotels do not all operate in the same way, and their individual terms remain under their control.

    We want to avoid unpleasant surprises

    A 120-minute OPUS course does not necessarily mean a hotel room can be booked for exactly 120 minutes: entering, preparing and leaving may take additional time. Some hotels charge for overstaying their own room-use period. We aim to explain such differences before they become a surprise.

    Tell us your intended date and area. We can distinguish the charges we can establish from amounts the hotel must confirm.

    You can ask before choosing a hotel

    You do not have to finish your accommodation search before contacting us. Knowing the area is enough to start discussing the practical steps.

    Asking twice is welcome

    A clear response about money is part of our responsibility. Please do not worry about asking another question.

    How Much Does a Male Companion Cost in Japan?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    It is hard to feel comfortable considering a special experience when the price is unclear. Asking about money is entirely reasonable. Here are our basic international guest rates.

    Basic course prices

    Duration One woman Two women total Per woman (two guests)
    120 minutes ¥80,000 ¥140,000 ¥70,000
    180 minutes ¥140,000 ¥260,000 ¥130,000
    240 minutes ¥180,000 ¥340,000 ¥170,000

    These are OPUS basic course prices for international female guests. The table shows the fee for one woman, the combined fee when two women share time with one OPUS male companion, and the equivalent per-person amount. Each woman pays ¥10,000 less than she would for an individual booking of the same duration.

    The basic course starts at 120 minutes. You do not have to decide on a longer duration before you have told us what kind of time you hope to enjoy. We can explain the options in a calm, straightforward way.

    Perhaps you would like a quiet conversation, an evening with some room to breathe, or a more leisurely itinerary. Tell us the atmosphere you have in mind and we can discuss the time options and the services available.

    We will distinguish additional costs

    Hotel room charges and travel or dispatch expenses outside Tokyo may be separate from the course fee. You should not have to calculate everything by searching several Japanese websites. Ask “What would the total be on this date, at this location?” and we will identify what OPUS can quote and what a hotel or another provider determines separately.

    Your questions about payment matter

    Payment methods, the stage at which payment is due, and change or cancellation terms should be clear before a formal booking. We will not treat something unexplained as something you should already know simply because you are in Japan.

    Clear prices are part of a warm welcome

    Your budget is a natural part of planning your time in Japan. We welcome questions and will explain what is covered by OPUS and what a hotel or another provider charges separately.

    Your First OPUS Booking: From Inquiry to Meeting

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    A first booking can be exciting and unfamiliar. You may wonder what will happen on the day. You need no special preparation or knowledge of Japanese etiquette to begin asking us.

    Tell us what you know so far

    “I’m going to Tokyo next week” or “This is my first time, and I’m a little nervous” is enough for an initial inquiry. We will help identify the practical details, including suitable times and the style of companion you would like, without expecting a finished plan.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone at an elegant marble hotel reception with large floral arrangements; a dark handbag is visible beside her.

    For one international female guest, our basic prices are ¥80,000 for 120 minutes, ¥140,000 for 180 minutes and ¥180,000 for 240 minutes. If travel or hotel charges apply separately, we will explain that distinction before you book.

    We will explain the arrangements before the day

    Once the date and place are agreed, we will explain how to meet and stay in contact. Japanese stations can have many exits, and hotels sometimes have several entrances. If a location is unfamiliar, please tell us; there is no reason to feel embarrassed.

    Hotels may have their own restrictions on visitors. We can explain what needs checking, while making clear which decisions belong to the hotel.

    You can be yourself when you meet

    You do not need an elaborate outfit, prepared conversation or a practiced manner. If you are nervous, you can say so. If you would rather take things slowly, that feeling deserves consideration.

    Hospitality starts before the meeting

    People using a service for the first time deserve especially thoughtful explanations. We do not want unfamiliar procedures left entirely for you to work out.
