About this place 上野 cave

Ueno Cave is a gay men's sauna in Higashi-Ueno, Taito ward, a few minutes' walk from Ueno station. It has wet and dry sauna areas plus rest spaces, and it's cruisy. Ueno's gay scene leans toward bears, chubs and older men, and that crowd is common here. Google reviewers give it about 3.8 from around 40 reviews. Like many Japanese gay saunas, it may turn away foreigners or ask for some Japanese, so check the website before going. Follow the house rules on lockers and showers, and expect most guests not to talk.

The chubby staff member with glasses at the counter was so rude. Because I couldn’t clearly hear what he said, I asked him to respond in a polite way. He then slammed the door, came out from behind the counter, and told me to choose underwear with an angry voice and expression. After I chose the underwear, he went back behind the counter and slammed the door again.

🌈This was my first time at Ueno Cave, and I'm amazed at the variety of products they carry. It's packed on weekends, so I recommend it. 🐻It's geared toward GMPDs, so everyone is super cool. 👨🏻The manager at the front desk is equally stylish. 😘 🏳️‍⚧️The manager and staff are incredibly kind, politely guiding customers through the facilities. 🗓️The 2025 Cave calendar is free, so feel free to use it yourself. The air quality, clean floors, music🎵, condoms, and lube🧴 in the building are all top-notch. 👍🏼 With various events happening daily, the adventures might just get even more exciting. 👅 This was my first time here, and I'm truly grateful for all the help. 💕 🏳️‍🌈If you're ever in Ueno, be sure to stop by Ueno Cave!✨

Entry denied. They denied it entry because height (cms) minus my weight (in kgs) was above 100. I am not sure whether this is actually a policy or the front desk person didn’t want to allow a tourist who did not look bear. It’s not a very inclusive policy and doesn’t promote an open space.

Paid the entry fee, passed the looks/haircut test, and folks stonewalled me. Skip it if you’re a foreigner.

Safe. Clean. Compact. It's my first time to visit and I know that I will visit again and recommend this place to anyone. I feel safe and free right after I enter the place, appreciate the anonymous approach of the receptionist and how he guide me afterwards. There's a glow stick that you may wear based on your preference. Furthermore, I like how you can freely choose what to wear upstairs (towel, jockstrap, etc) and the generous supply of rubber, lube, tissue, and other hygiene products such as soap, toothbrush, mouthwash, etc. It was Saturday around 4 PM and it was amazing! All of them are sexy and hot! Of all places I visited, this is the best, so far. Even without sauna, steam room and such, I had the best 3 hours of June 29; straight and right into action! If you are/into GMPD, highly recommend it. Try, see, and experience for yourself. Enjoy.
