Yes, I'm on Island now and it is as you say. I'm trying my hardest to be the stereotype that the Okinawans see us as. But, even still I do want me a little ladyboy, and that is just way too hard to find.

If you don't speak Japanese and don't have Japanese friends, it is a hard scene to crack into.

Have you tried social media and dating sites?

[LikelySpecial]

I've tried dating sites, social media is a little different. I'm not sure where to start there.

You can use social media to get a feel of the landscape and where some of the bars and clubs are. Almost all of them have a presence on the web these days.

Twitter and FB are good, plus there are a few Japanese ones too, but you are going to have to be able to read Japanese.

Another thing you can try is taking a Japanese girl with you to some of these places, especially the mix clubs. Be a good customer, and friendly, let them get to know your face, then return alone a few nights later and you'll have a better chance of getting in.

Take some Japanese classes too, if you aren't already.

What types of searches do you do on social media to find locations?

Just try typing in keywords in Japanese, Okinawa and Newhalf gets you a few hits.

沖縄ニューハーフ

From there, try narrowing it down with more keywords. It will be a little frustrating if you can't read Japanese, but you should be able to get a small list of places to try.

Thanks a ton for the help. I can't tell you, how helpful you truly have been.

Good luck!

Let us know how it goes.

Let us know how it goes in Okinawa, I've found a few more newhalf bars in the nichome area.  I haven't been to them yet, but I went to Dragon Men the other night and it was a slim crowd but a mixed crowd for sure.  There were men and one trans.  Also Arty Farty seems to be an international grey zone, male female and in between

How did you go getting into the Propaganda club a few weeks back?

 

Was it difficult getting in?

 

Hi, I joined specifically for this thread, I travel to Japan every so often, next trip is in July.

 

Have really found it hard to find any new halfs in a city of 35 mill or so, and had a bad experience last time I was there due to the lake of info out there.

It certainly is a hard nut to crack

But this info in this thread is a treasure trove, thanks to all those who contribute.

 

Info on the net is very scarce and outdate badly.

 

Once again.

 

Cheers.

The Propaganda Party isn't a club, it is a monthly event held on the last Saturday of the month at Christon Cafe.

You won't have any trouble as a gaijin getting in, just buy a ticket and in you go.

Eibkyo's idea of checking out gay and mix bars in the Nichome section of Shinjuku might be a something you want to try.

On page 2 of this thread I posted some tips on navigating the Tokyo gay scene. I realize you might not be looking for full-on dudes but you'll see the occasional newhalf in gay bars and especially mix bars.

Read page 2 if you haven't already, because the gay scene is rather intricate in Tokyo.

The last time I was in Tokyo was the summer of 2012, so my Intel on specific places is a bit dated. I've been trying to post advice that isn't perishable, and common sense type stuff.

Having Eibkyo posting now on specific clubs and his recent experiences should help out a lot.

So, just wanted to share some info because it's been forever.  I went to the April Propaganda Party, so much more fun than the March one.  I would say the head count was doubled.  The live show was almost identical to February which was a bit dissapointing, BUT it was a lot more fun.  The model from Shemale Japan, Miran, was there, as well as a Tokyo news camera crew.  Quite a fun experience, I met a lot of new people and made new friends.

 

Then I was out of the country for a few weeks, but I also found a couple insider only Trans/Cross groups from the people I met there so I've been going to a couple exclusive events.  Really, knowing Japanese is the key to get in the door.  I also found a new place in Shinjuku's Ni-chome district called Sarado.  I believe it's a Filipino bar, but when I go I'll report back!
