Located in Kitashinjuku, there's a fantastic Tokyo gay sauna known as Muscular Haven. It's a place where the muscular hunks can feel right at home. While the crowd tends to be more selective, especially on weekends with young hunks, it's important to note that they prioritize a certain physique. If you don't fit that criteria, don't worry, there are plenty of other great places to explore. Inside, you'll find a dark zone featuring large rooms, private rooms, and even a room with a swing for some interesting fun. If you're planning to visit, Saturdays or Sundays before 6 p.m. are the best times to drop by and enjoy the experience.

Shibuya Street is a popular cruising spot in Shibuya known for its vibrant gay sauna in Tokyo. It primarily appeals to a younger crowd with a slim fit and often hosts the swimwear event. typically up to 38 years old, and restricts entry to those who are overweight or have long hair. Notably, they do not require passport checks for entry. which means you have a chance if you are young or good-looking. An interesting thing is that they have a special area that you cannot even reject from somebody whatever they do. It's my first time hearing that from a gay sauna.
