Queerness and gender fluidity permeate the landscape of Japanese culture, from BL manga to onnagata in Kabuki theater (male actors who play female roles). Additionally, sexual acts among males were frequent in ancient Japan and a major cultural feature in the Edo period. Japan was open-minded and even, in some cases, enthusiastic about same-sex relations up until Japan opened its borders in 1859, when Japan began to adopt repressive, Victorian-era attitudes towards sexuality in response to Western influence. Though Japan’s current political stance on queerness leaves much to be desired, Japan has a surprisingly rich history colored by a generally positive outlook on sex and sexuality.
From sex between male monks to 17th century erotica, Japan’s gay history might surprise you.
5. Buddhist Monks Tolerated Homosexual Relations
In general, attitudes in early Japan towards sexuality were free and permissive. As Louis Crompton notes in Homosexuality and Civilization, “Shintoism… had no special code of morals and seems to have regarded sex as a natural phenomenon to be enjoyed with scant inhibitions.” When Buddhism arrived in Japan in the seventh century, it did so against the

Tokyo’s famous homosexual district, Shinjuku Ni-Chome, has one of the world’s uppermost concentrations of LGBT-friendly businesses. For the most part, it’s a place where first-timers can display out without needing to worry too much about distinct customs or cultural knowledge.
Ni-Chome is used to tourists but, those who wish to sneak into smaller, more local LGBT bars might find some cultural practices surprising.

Osaka Gay Scene
I have lived in Japan for a few years now, and I can say with certainty that Osaka has one of the most unique gay scenes in Japan. Tokyo’s Nichome is large and receives many visitors, but Osaka’s Doyama is definitely special in its character and scope. Osaka’s night life, including its gay scene, can largely be divided into two areas: the Kita (north) side including Doyama near Umeda Station, and the Minami (south) side with Namba and the Dotonbori Canal.
Osaka is acknowledged for having a close yet diverse community, and there are a multitude of bars and spots to hang out at that are almost too numerous to count. However, my favorite bar where I always end up is Grand Slam because it is colorful and gaudy, everyone stops there, and is a fantastic place to run into friends and regulars. There is also Explosion just around the corner, a small club that gets very lively at their frequent events, with at least one almost every weekend. And travelers can't miss Eagle Osaka, the newest addition to Doyama's nightlife.
While these spots are a blast, there’s not much breathing space for chatting, so if I ever want a more l
