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. 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.

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.
Address
One of Tokyo's most crowded commuter lines, with peak congestion reaching 200%. That crush has given the line a long-standing reputation, and the community knows it. Be aware that the same reputation attracts trouble: there have been cases of people deliberately provoking contact and then demanding money, and of filming for social media. Treat this as something to know about, not something to seek out.

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. Platform 13 has since been renovated and the old crowd dispersed. There have also been cases of people pretending to be cruisers 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.
Whether you encounter opportunities for encounters also depends on individual circumstances and luck. Many Japanese people may not be particularly interested in engaging with foreigners. So think carefully about whether exploring these gay cruising spots is the right choice for you.
