❓ FAQ
Can I bring a dominatrix to my regular hotel?
Most regular hotels do not allow outside guests. For sessions at your accommodation, love hotels are better. Or simply visit the SM club — they have properly equipped rooms.
Can I bring BDSM gear in my hotel luggage?
Yes. Japanese hotel staff are professional and discreet. They will not inspect or comment on your personal belongings.
