'Sleep with handsome guys' shop in Japan

Lonely women in Japan can now find new solace with a cafe service where they sleep in the warm arms of handsome men at Soine-ya.

In Japan, there are many services that help lonely men escape from their boring lives, such as renting a girlfriend or a sleeping partner for about 40 USD, attracting many customers and making huge profits. Taking that idea but paying special attention to women, a coffee shop serving lonely women looking for a warm shoulder to comfort them to sleep was born, called Soine-ya.

Soine-ya means "sleeping cafe" in Japanese. This is a very "hot" service in Japan, through which female customers can pay to rent a handsome and healthy young man to sleep with. This service is simply renting a bed and is completely innocent, not including sex in any form.

Soine-ya officially opened in September 2015 in Akihabara - the center of Otaku culture, also the birthplace of the eccentric service like maid cafes in Tokyo. According to the restaurant manager, Soine-ya offers its customers "a relaxing and comfortable feeling of sleeping with someone".

If you come here without any request, the store will arrange a random hostess for you. However, the store also provides a list of hostesses including portrait photos, information about their names, body measurements (height, weight) and blood type. All of these hostesses are healthy young men, with very attractive appearances and good professional skills. Based on that list and information, customers can pay an additional fee to freely choose a guy that suits their criteria.

However, the "relaxing and comfortable" sleep that the handsome hostesses here bring is not cheap. Ladies have to pay an entrance fee of 3,000 yen (about 600,000 VND), 6,000 yen (1.2 million VND) for a 1-hour sleep and up to 50,000 yen (more than 10 million VND) for a 10-hour sleep.

To maintain this service, the restaurant also has a rule: customers are only allowed to hug, strictly forbidden to kiss or touch the sensitive areas of the male attendants. In addition, they are not allowed to contact the attendants without going through the restaurant's management because Soine-ya affirms that they want to bring relaxation and peace of mind to female customers, not prostitution services.

The store is open from 3pm to 10pm on weekdays, from 12pm to 10pm on weekends and holidays, with an age limit of 16 to 40.
