How to make booking without a Japan phone number?

[Captaincoolz]

Can somebody explain

I'm looking to book a mature escorts at an agency called K-banana and they say I can't book without a Japanese phone number. I was wondering if there is any way around this? On their booking page won't even let you book without the phone number, I've emailed them and tried LINE, but to no success.

I've also tried this with few other agencies hoping that I can use LINE communication verification but still no success. Any advice?

Many (most?) legitimate shops will not book with you if you do not have a Japanese phone number.

Phone numbers in Japan are tied to actual identities, so the phone number requirement gives the police a way to track you down if something untoward happens to the girl.

If you're resident in Japan, then go get an MVNO number, it's not expensive.

If you're a tourist, then stick to the services that cater to tourists.

Shops that allow booking through LINE are out there, I listed a couple in this thread (including one specializing in mature):

Another one is (specializing in mature minor AV actresses): https://www.regolith-ebisu.com/ebisu/girl/

I think some places in place of a Japanese #, will take your name and hotel and call you there. Maybe if your Japanese is good you can suggest that?

Generally data only - various providers try the rental SIM model, but are usually shut down by the cops. B-mobile recently got a stern lecture and withdrew from that market.

FWIW, rental PHONES seem to still be flying under the radar.

You can rent a sim with number, did that previously, 110 yen per day + fees. They also rent phones at 330 yen or 550 yen depending on the model.

Yeah pretty sure you can rent a sim with a valid number it just requires proper ID?

Due to the enactment of the "Act for the Prevention of Illegal Mobile Phone Use", customers are requested to submit a valid ID at the time of pick-up.

[Acceptable forms of Identification]
Residents of Japan
1) Japanese Passport (Photo page and back page (INFORMATION ON BEARER))
2) Japanese Driver's License (Front and back)
3) Residence Card (Front and back)

Non-Residents of Japan
1) Passport

Sometimes - all the providers keep dropping the service after a visit from the police. There've been at least 10 of them start and stop so far.
