I'm still a rookie, earning around ¥10 million a year.
Do the women here only take men seriously if they meet at luxury hotels and places like that?
I'm not very comfortable with overly formal settings or high-end restaurants, so I'd like to meet at a reasonably good restaurant and stay at a fairly spacious business hotel.
Am I simply out of place here??
I’m Aya, a female member.
Even if it’s not ultra-luxurious, I think it would be nice to take her somewhere a little classy, like a nice restaurant or hotel. Personally, I’m also happy with places like a ramen shop or a neighborhood Chinese restaurant every once in a while.
As for hotels, I think a slightly nicer love hotel, like the ones everyone’s been mentioning, would be fine—not an old one in the middle of the nightlife district.
(Actually, if you’re with someone you click with, anything can be fun. The opposite is true too.)

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer as well.
Some women don’t like love hotels, but I don’t think there are that many.
So, if you’re single, I think a love hotel would be fine.
That said, even at a love hotel, choosing a nice place and upgrading the room during a short stay can get pretty expensive. (Haha)
So during the day, especially with the impact of COVID, a city hotel’s day-use plan can sometimes be cheaper.
> “Am I completely out of place in a club like this?”
You can’t judge that by annual income.
What matters is how much you’re able to spend on a woman.
If you’re willing to give an allowance of around ¥100,000 per meeting, you’ll be absolutely fine.
It’s really about your attitude—if you’re prepared to ask what she wants and pay that amount, I don’t think there will be any problem.
But if you’re looking to pay an allowance that’s as low as what you’d pay through an app, then you probably are out of place and might be better off looking elsewhere.

For a first meeting, I feel more comfortable at a restaurant with private rooms. When an older man and a young woman are meeting for the first time, you naturally become aware of people around you. These days, if you look around, you can find tasty restaurants with private rooms for two where the average spend is under ¥10,000 per person. Try searching on Tabelog.
Hotels are usually love hotels. When I’m traveling for work, I use a newer, spacious mid-range hotel because at business hotels, I tend to worry about noise and things like that. I sometimes go for a luxury hotel too, but I’d go bankrupt if I did that every time...

Since we usually meet during the day, and I’m just a little loud during those moments, haha, we often end up at a love hotel.
However, even reasonably nice love hotels in Tokyo can be quite expensive during the day. They may cost more than staying at a clean, decent business hotel.
As for meals, it might be best to avoid going somewhere ultra-luxurious right from the start. I think it’s better to begin with a place that’s stylish and fairly good without being overly expensive, so they don’t end up thinking, “Was that only for the first time?”

It probably depends on the woman’s preferences, but I don’t think a business hotel would be a problem.
I’ve heard that some men go from an izakaya to a love hotel, so I don’t think it’s an issue at all.
That said, some women may get upset because they feel they’re being treated cheaply.
Based on what I’ve heard from my partners, about 90% stay at luxury hotels, around 8% at nicer business hotels like Daiwa Roynet, and roughly 2% at love hotels.
