The sexual culture of Japan is unlike anywhere else. In everyday life, most people will be polite, modest, and introverted, but those same people may be highly kinky, comical, and outlandish when it comes to sex, especially when it comes to sex toys.
My Father is Japanese, and once I finished school in the USA, I moved to Japan to live and work as an English teacher. I spent my twenties enjoying wild times in the heart of Tokyo, with a growing appetite for kink and pleasure confirming that I was in the right place to expand my experiences. After that, I became a regular at some of Japan’s underground fetish clubs and swingers bars and gravitated toward people with similar lifestyles.
I would often spend hours inside Japanese sex toy megastores. Never leaving empty-handed, I would head home to test new toys, machines, and costumes. Nowhere else have I found as much variety of fetish, BDSM gear, sexual persuasions, crazy adult toys, and erotic devices as in Japan. A visit to one of these stores gives you a window into the weird and wonderful world of Japanese kinks.
Below, we bring you a tiny sample of what is available from the leading manufacturers. I hope it opens up a new world of discovery, just like it did when I moved to this beautiful land of sexual fantasies.

Onahole Masturbators
Onaholes (or Onacups) are male masturbators shaped to fit the penis and mimic the sensation of real sex. The name comes from the Japanese word onanie, meaning masturbation.
There are two main types of onahole; sealed versions that create a tight vacuum effect and open versions with a hole at both ends to allow air release and a smoother glide. Inside, different ribs, nubs, and folds work together to pleasure all parts of the penis.
Onaholes are one of the most famous sex toys from Japan, and the range available is massive. Entire isles of Japanese sex stores are dedicated to them, ranging from cheap, pocket-sized sleeves to silicone body parts that mimic the look and feel of actual body parts. Butts, mouths, earholes, belly buttons, mini toilet bowls, and cobs of corn are all created with holes to enter. There are models based on JAV stars, Hentai characters, and every other kink imaginable.
If you’re curious about Japanese onaholes and thinking about trying one, the Meiki ZXY from NPG is a good start. NPG’s Meiki Onaholes are famous for their high-quality materials and realistic feel.
Modeled from China’s most famous porn star – Zhang Xiao Yu (ZXY), the attention to detail makes this toy stand out:
- Double lip structure to imitate the outer and inner labia
- Softer outer material with a different sticky feel inside
- Inner G-spot simulation
- Special inner lining with realistic texture

Japanese Sex Dolls
Japanese women are adored for their beauty worldwide. The image of a submissive, shy, Geisha-like partner adds to the allure for many, but finding a Japanese partner is not always a simple task.
Many have found enjoyment in Japanese sex dolls, with more people now choosing to have a relationship with a realistic doll over a real-life partner.
Japan creates the highest quality sex dolls globally and caters to all budgets and desires.
1. Realistic Love Dolls
Made to look and feel like the real thing, the Orient Industry Real Love Doll Yasuragi is a life-sized doll that you can customize according to your taste. Features such as flexible fingers, nipple color, skin color, body size, and pubic hair are available from a simple drop-down menu.
The dolls are custom-made to an extremely high standard.
Some of the features include:
- Waterproof up to the shoulders for bathtime fun.
- A skeleton frame that allows to position her however you please.
- Realistic silicone rubber skin.
- Optional moveable eyes, blood vessels, and flexible fingers.
2. Plush Doll
While not quite as realistic as silicone love dolls, plush dolls are light, easy to maintain, and can often be customized with onaholes, breast enlargement, and facial features. They are a more affordable option which is excellent for those wanting to experiment with their first doll.
The Fairy Doll Emu is a premium, full-sized sex doll. She has a busty, curvy figure that will please all the anime fans.
With a well-designed, adjustable vaginal pocket to fit most masturbators, a super-plush fabric outer, and a firm filling – the Fairy Doll Emu is my favorite choice in plush dolls.
3. Blow Up Dolls
Blow-up dolls are an easy and affordable option when looking for a love doll. Simply blow up, insert your favorite onahole, and enjoy. They are also convenient for storage by merely deflating and packing away in the top drawer.
The Japanese-made Air Doll Moe Nagisa is a super cute anime-style blow-up doll that ticks all the boxes.
She has beautiful large breasts and a round butt with the highest quality materials, so you can squeeze her as hard as you like. The package also comes with its own onahole and a tube of lubricant, so she is ready to go straight out of the box.
Dakimakura Pillows
Dakimakura is a Japanese acronym. Daki means to embrace or cling, and Makura means pillow.
The Dakimakura is thus a large pillow from Japan, allowing you to relax your muscles while sleeping.
By hugging the pillow as you sleep and placing it between your knees, your body stays in proper alignment. And you won’t feel the need to twist because the pillow distributes your weight evenly.
Hug pillows date back to the 1990s when the Dakimakura began to intertwine with the Otaku culture, resulting in pillow covers engraved with images of bishōjo and bishōnen in lying poses from various bishōjo or anime games.
Many Japanese anime sex toys companies now make Dakimakura covers with sexy anime characters and other fetishes.
Kanojo Toys has one of the best selections of Damimakura pillows and covers to suit all types of bedtime fantasies.
Denma Vibrators
Often known as “massagers” or “wands,” Denma-style vibrators possibly came about through housewives discovering their neck and shoulder massagers to have more pleasurable benefits when used elsewhere on the body. It’s one of the best Japanese sex toys for women and is loved worldwide for its rumbling power and guaranteed leg-shaking orgasms.
My wife and I had fun testing a range of Denma vibrators inside an Osaka sex store recently, and the Fairy Mini was a stand-out. Even at low speed, the power is impressive, and the analog-style control switch was easier to use than some of the clunky push-button alternatives.
The Fairy Mini’s flexible head, compact size, and extreme power made it our number-one choice in this category.
Electric Masturbators
Japan is famous for its technology and gadgets, so it’s no surprise they have developed the best technology for masturbation devices.
Recently, the Japanese brand Tenga has led the way in electric Japanese sex toys for men. They have invested more time and money into developing excellent products, helping guys enjoy self-love.
Tenga Flip Zero EV has an intricate clear sleeve of soft plastic ribs that vibrate across five settings and a vacuum seal that increases sensation as you thrust harder. It’s easy to clean under running water, rechargeable, and looks like a modern piece of office tech.
Just a word of warning – after using a Tenga egg masturbator, you may never want to use your bare hand again!

Learning the art of Shibari is now easier than ever, with plenty of classes and tutorials available online and through Shibrai clubs.
Your most important purchase when beginning Shibari is the rope. Buying quality rope is essential, as it will be easier to work with and more comfortable for the person you’re tying.

Made from high-quality materials, it comes in generous 8m packs and is available in 3 colors.
Note: Black is only for advanced users as it’s harder to see details when tying.
Cosplay Crossdressing
Cosplay Crossdressing is a type of cosplay in which a person dresses up as a character of a different gender. The act is neutral as it only describes the act and not the intention.
There are numerous online stores selling cosplay costumes to meet the needs of people with this fetish.
Akihabara Idol Otoko no Ko has made a cross-dress outfit based on the uniform of the famous AKB48 Idol group from Akiba, Tokyo.
