Safety guide for first-time visitors
The best way to reduce uncertainty is to confirm every condition before booking, keep a written record and stop if anything feels inconsistent. These practical checks apply from the first enquiry through the appointment day.
Use a contact linked from the official website and look for clear prices, service areas, reception hours and cancellation terms. Be cautious if an unofficial social account redirects you to a different contact midway through the conversation.
Ask separately about the course, nomination, travel, hotel and extension fees. Keep the expected total in the message history before the booking is final. Do not agree on the spot to an unexplained charge.
Do not send unnecessary ID images, banking credentials, passwords or verification codes. Stop and verify through the official contact if someone urgently requests gift cards, cryptocurrency, an unfamiliar link or payment to an unlisted personal account.
Share the hotel name, address, access procedure and district before confirmation. Do not accept instructions that breach hotel policy or a last-minute change to an unofficial or isolated location.
Every interaction must involve consenting adults. Respect stated boundaries, hygiene and wellbeing, and do not attend while heavily intoxicated. Stop if either person feels uncomfortable or unsafe.
If there is intimidation or an unexplained demand, create distance and seek help from hotel staff or a trusted person. For immediate danger in Japan call police on 110; for an ambulance or fire service call 119.
Base and optional fees are separated, and questions about the total receive a direct answer.
You are given time to ask questions and are not pushed into immediate payment or a decision.
Communication stays with a contact verifiable from the official website.
Age limits, location, cancellation terms and prohibited conduct are stated in advance.
The date, location, fees and final booking status can be saved in messages.
If the visitor or companion stops, the response prioritises boundaries and safety.
Ask about the course, nomination, travel, hotel, extension and cancellation fees. Not all will apply, but confirm the applicable conditions and expected total in writing.
Verify the reason, amount, cancellation or refund conditions and whether the recipient matches official information. If anything is unclear or rushed, do not pay until the official contact confirms it.
Keep the date, time, hotel or area, profile name, course, fee breakdown, expected total, cancellation terms and the message that confirms the booking.
Do not continue. Move to a staffed public area and ask hotel staff for help if needed. For emergencies in Japan call police on 110 or ambulance/fire on 119.
Read the booking flow and rules, then confirm the preferred time, area and fee conditions.
