About
Club Sukhāvatī
A rare host club themed around Buddhism.
Welcoming you to the beautiful and glittering floor are: The man who accepts you gently, the man who sees through your desires, and the man who cuts through your hesitation.
During a night spent with them, you gradually begin to realize. —Is this shop really just a "concept"?
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. It's a Buddhist concept, but is it okay to drink and play around?
A. In Buddhism, there are five disciplines to follow called the "Five Precepts." A host club might risk falling under "sexual misconduct" or "intoxication," but it is generally considered acceptable as long as it does not "disturb the mind" in a way that harms oneself or others. In fact, there have been monks with families both past and present, and alcohol has been used as medicine or consumed secretly under the name "Prajna Water" (Hannyato) for ages. (^^)
Q. When I hear Buddhism, I have an image of it being serious or strict. Are there topics I shouldn't talk about...?
A. No. Any topic within the bounds of morality is fine. Please feel free to talk about relationship troubles, complaints, romance, obsessions, impulses, sexual concerns, or secrets you can't tell anyone else. Each cast member has a different perspective, so we hope they can provide some insight. We also look forward to funny stories and everyday small talk.
Q. Is this perhaps a suspicious cult? Will I be forced to buy expensive jars...?
A. No. Nothing of the sort. We are not affiliated with any religious organization and value freedom of faith. Like any other host club, it is a place to enjoy drinks and conversation. Please enjoy a wonderful time.
Q. All the hosts are so handsome I can't choose!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Unlike other host clubs, we do not have a "permanent nomination" system; you can choose your host based on your preference for that day. You can spend time with one cast member continuously or change every time. Please take your time to freely choose the way that suits you best.

Intro
Shinjuku While walking toward the station, you are approached by a persistent tout and run through the crowd to escape. You finally manage to lose them, but you've ended up in an unfamiliar alleyway. As you try to head back toward the station while checking your phone's GPS, a striking sign catches your eye.
Club Sukhāvatī
Since it says "Club," it's likely some kind of nightlife establishment, but for some reason, you are intensely curious. Hesitantly, you place your hand on the door and open it, only to be greeted by the heavy scent of incense and a glittering, heaven-like space.
