Of course, whether everyone will go to explore the gay cruising spots in Tokyo 🧐, please also keep a low profile 🤫 If you do go to visit, you also need to remain vigilant and respect the local culture, do not make illegal recordings, and maintain basic etiquette 🙏
1. Iwabuchi Watergate
Iwabuchi Water Gate is a popular gay cruising spot in Tokyo. Both during the day and at night, it is a hotspot for nude sunbathing and public nudity. It is also a frequented location for those who enjoy cross-dressing.
The blue gate next to the baseball stadium, along the bushes by the riverside, is a main gathering area for those engaged in public nudity and cruising. However, since the location is inaccessible and far from the train station, many people choose to arrive by bicycle.
Additionally, there have been some incidents of voyeurism reported in the past, so some prefer to visit in the evenings. Those exploring this area are advised to exercise caution.

2. Tsurushi Beach
Tsurihashi Beach is one of the three most famous gay beaches in Tokyo. Due to its extremely secluded geographical location, separated from the rest of the coast by cliffs, it is rarely visited by the general public. The beach is primarily frequented by gay men, making it a site of very open and uninhibited behavior.
That said, I do not recommend that people visit this location. Not only is it quite remote and difficult to access, but it also carries some degree of risk. If one must visit, it is advisable not to go alone and to leave before 4 pm.

3. Saikyō Line
"The JR Saikyo Line is one of the busiest commuter routes in Tokyo, with crowding levels reaching up to 200% during peak hours. This extreme crowding has made it a notorious target for gropers, earning it the local reputation as a 'chikan' (groping) train.
In addition to attracting some unsavory heterosexual men, this line also provides a chance for gay men to interact with one another in the packed train cars discreetly. They may take advantage of the crush to touch each other or even engage in more intimate acts.
However, it's important to be aware that some male livestreamers have been deliberately allowing themselves to be groped, and then attempting to extort money from the offenders. Everyone needs to be very careful on your artion.

The restroom on platform 13 of Ueno Station used to be a very famous gay cruising spot in Tokyo. Incidents of straight men being harassed were also common, so notices were put up warning against engaging in disruptive behavior. However, as platform 13 has now been renovated, the gay cruisier has dispersed. Platform 5 is now more commonly used, but there have been cases of people pretending to be gay cruisier and surreptitiously taking photos to upload them, so everyone needs to be very careful!

Before Exploring Tokyo's Gay Cruising spots, Please Be Aware Of The Following:
There have been some individuals who, perhaps in an effort to curb inappropriate public behavior, have been surreptitiously taking photos or videos and uploading them to platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Additionally, local security has increased patrols in these areas. To avoid affecting others, we hope that those who explore or visit will maintain a low profile. If you wish to gather more like-minded friends, please post on the bulletin board. If there are any other new spots you would like us to add, you can leave a message for us as well.
Additionally, we will soon be releasing information on gay cruising spots in other regions. If you don't want to miss it, remember to subscribe to our email newsletter!
