If you typed “call girl Japan” into a search bar, here is the short answer: Japan has no legal “call girl” business. In English, a call girl is a woman who sells sex by appointment, and in Japan, paid sex is prostitution, which the law prohibits. What does exist legally is デリヘル (deriheru), short for “delivery health”: A companion who works for a shop is sent to your hotel room, and the service does not include intercourse.
You may also come across women taking bookings directly on social media. This does happen, but it is not how most of the industry works, and it carries risks for you. In practice, companions in Japan work through a shop that has filed a notification with the authorities. MIRAI TOKYO, a delivery health service based in Roppongi, is one of these shops, and it does not describe itself as a call girl service.
Is there a call girl business in Japan?
No. The Cambridge Dictionary defines a call girl as a female prostitute who arranges her meetings with men over the phone. Whether the booking is made by phone or online, the core meaning of the word is selling sex.
In Japan, that is prostitution. The Anti-Prostitution Act (売春防止法) defines it as intercourse in exchange for payment and prohibits it. Soliciting customers, arranging prostitution, and running it as a business are criminal offenses. A business that openly sells what the English word describes therefore cannot legally exist here, and you will not find one listed under that name. Japanese has borrowed the word as コールガール (kōru gāru), but it is not a business category, and no legal business can describe itself that way.
What Japan has instead is a regulated adult-service industry that stops short of intercourse. In the industry, intercourse (penetrative, vaginal sex) is called 本番 (honban), and it is not part of a legal deriheru service. In other words, searching for a “call girl” in Tokyo means looking for something the legal market does not offer.

What about women taking bookings on social media?
Some individuals do advertise on social media or messaging apps and take bookings directly. This exists, but for a visitor it is the least predictable way to arrange anything:
- If intercourse is offered, it is prostitution. Advertising to find customers for it is itself an offense for the person doing it, and the arrangement is illegal regardless of who set it up.
- Even without intercourse, it is still a business. Sending a person to a hotel to provide adult services is a regulated business that must notify the authorities, whether it is run by one person or by a company.
- You cannot verify who you are dealing with. There is no business behind the account to confirm age or identity, no published rules or prices, and no one to turn to if a deposit disappears or the person who arrives is not the one in the photos.
That is why the normal pattern in Japan is a companion who works for a shop. The shop files a notification with the authorities, confirms the age of the women it works with, publishes its prices and rules, and handles bookings. If you have seen “independent” companions advertised and wonder how they fit in, registration is the place to start:

So what is the Japanese word for “call girl”?
There is no exact equivalent, so it helps to split the question: Are you asking about the service or the person? Japanese pages use different words for each, as well as a few others that describe how the business operates.
| You will see | Reading | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| デリヘル | Deriheru | The service format closest to what people searching for “call girl” are looking for: A companion comes to your hotel room. |
| デリバリーヘルス | Deribarī herusu / delivery health | The full name of デリヘル. It means the same thing, just spelled out in full. It has nothing to do with healthcare. |
| キャスト | Kyasuto | “Cast”: the usual industry word for the women, used on MIRAI TOKYO’s Japanese site. |
| コンパニオン | Konpanion / companion | The word MIRAI TOKYO’s English site uses for the same people. |
| 派遣型 | Haken-gata | “Dispatch-type”: someone is sent to you, rather than you going to a venue. |
| 出張型 | Shutchō-gata | “Visiting” or “mobile.” This is also used for ordinary services such as massage or repairs, so on its own it does not mean an adult service. |
| コールガール | Kōru gāru | The English loanword. It is recognizable, but not an everyday word and not a business category. |
So if you mean the service, the word to look for is デリヘル. If you mean the person, it is キャスト in Japanese and “companion” in English. Casual speech has blunter words such as 風俗嬢 (fūzoku-jō), but they are colloquial and not words you would want to use when contacting a business.
Delivery health is also easy to confuse with fashion health and hotel health, two formats with similar names that work differently. This comparison sets the three side by side:

Deriheru, fashion health, hotel health: three Tokyo adult-service formats that look alike but work very differently. History, legal frames, pricing, and foreign-visitor fit explained.
What deriheru looks like from your hotel room
The defining feature of delivery health is direction: The business comes to you. There is no venue to visit. You contact the business, choose a companion, and she visits the room where you are staying. English pages often call this “outcall.”
MIRAI TOKYO is a concrete example. Its English site describes it as a “licensed delivery health service,” and its Japanese site calls the same business a デリヘル. It has no storefront, lounge, or reception desk. Companions are dispatched to customers’ rooms at upscale hotels in Roppongi, Ginza, Shibuya, Akasaka, and elsewhere in central Tokyo.
For visitors, the practical questions are language and timing. MIRAI TOKYO has an English-speaking concierge, who can be reached through LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, KakaoTalk, or an English web form. It operates from 10:00 to 06:00 the next morning; booking two to three hours in advance is recommended, though same-day requests can be discussed. It is not a service only for tourists. Many of its customers are Japanese, and international customers book through the same concierge.

Learn what “Delivery Health (Deriheru)” in Tokyo really means, the hidden risks around quality, hygiene, privacy and pricing, and how to choose a safer, professional outcall alternative as an international traveler.
Is deriheru legal in Japan?
Delivery health operates within its own legal category. It is regulated under the Act on Control and Improvement of Amusement Business, etc., usually shortened to 風営法 (Fūeihō). The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department lists 派遣型ファッションヘルス等 under Type 1 of 無店舗型性風俗特殊営業, a non-store-based sex-related business category, described as dispatching a person, at a customer’s request, to provide services involving physical contact at a residence or accommodation. A business in this category must file a notification with the Public Safety Commission in order to operate.
Prostitution is covered by a different law, the Anti-Prostitution Act. The two fit together simply: Deriheru is legal because it does not include honban. A shop that offers or allows intercourse goes outside its legal category and into prostitution.
MIRAI TOKYO puts this in writing. The rules on its English How to Use page state “NO FULL SERVICE,” meaning intercourse is not part of the service. Its Japanese pricing page adds that if a customer negotiates for it or presses for it, the session will be ended without a refund. Knowing this in advance helps you avoid an awkward evening.
What to check before you contact a business
A label, whether “call girl,” “delivery health,” or anything else, tells you little on its own. What a business publishes about itself tells you much more. These are the points worth confirming, along with how MIRAI TOKYO addresses each one:
- What is and is not included: Look for written rules rather than hints. MIRAI TOKYO publishes its rules, including “NO FULL SERVICE,” on its How to Use page.
- Age and consent: MIRAI TOKYO confirms that every companion is 20 or older and works by her own choice.
- Pricing you can read before you call: MIRAI TOKYO lists its companion ranks (SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM, and DIAMOND, plus an unlisted ASK rank) on its Pricing page.
- Travel fees: Where you are staying may affect the total. MIRAI TOKYO charges no travel fee within Minato City and lists its fees for other wards on the pricing page; areas outside the 23 wards and in neighboring prefectures are handled case by case.
- Language: If you do not speak Japanese, make sure someone can answer you clearly. MIRAI TOKYO’s concierge handles inquiries in English.
None of this requires the word “call girl.” What you are looking for in Japan is a デリヘル: a shop that files a notification with the authorities, sends a companion to your hotel, and tells you in writing what is and is not included.
