1. What is “Deriharu”?
“Delivery Health” is a type of licensed adult service in Japan without a physical storefront for customers.
Instead, a female companion (cast member) is sent to your location—typically a hotel room or, in some cases, your residence.
Key Points:
- No full intercourse: By law, penetration is prohibited.
- Private space: You enjoy the service in your own chosen location.
- Menu varies: Services may include massage, conversation, light sensual play, and themed experiences, depending on the shop.
