Fashion health

nihongo|Fashion-health massage|ファッションヘルス|fashon herusu, or health for short, is a form of massage parlor that manages to avoid the anti-prostitution law by offering a range of services that stop short of vaginal intercourse.

Fashion-Health clubs can be found in all large cities in Japan and are easy to spot because of their bright flashing lights and garish decor. Often advertised as "Health Clubs", they are likely to confuse foreigners unfamiliar with the activities inside. These clubs usually post pictures of their "masseuses" near the entrance, however sometimes faces and eyes are censored with pixellation or black strips. Some club entrances feature caricatured depictions of services provided. Prices range from 6000 to 20,000 yen per hour, depending on the services utilized. Some of these fashion health clubs cater exclusively to native Japanese people, with signs in Chinese, Korean, English and Portuguese boldly displayed at the entrance prohibiting the entry of foreigners.
