This is work in progress but hopefully we can all add to it for a useful resource:
VENUES
This is by no means exhaustive or any guarantee there will be shows on any given night. Mistress bars usually work on a ‘system’ charging men a high hourly fee, and women little or nothing, which includes drinks and entertainment (often involving ‘audience participation’), here’s an example. Shows in strip club’s work out a lot cheaper unless you are friends with the management 😉
Don’t expect every mistress to be a rope virtuoso. A lot are not much more expert in rope than our western mistresses. Unless you have good contacts or can read Japanese, it takes some digging to track down good kinbaku. You won’t find it on every street corner 🙂

KOBE
Idea: Run by Midori Idea who is an absolute sweetie and ties very nicely.
OSAKA
Witasextopia: Run by [Shiho Shinomiya], a stunning well-inked and vampire toothed mistress.
TOKYO
C’est Bien SM Bar in Roppongi/Shibuya sometimes has shows, they also have a fetish shop.
Club Indigo: Run by Kitigawa Shuhei reasonable prices in Roppongi on Mondays
Kun Kun: Kinoko’s new bar
Sugar-Heel: Sometimes frequented by Arisue Go and Osada Steve
Mode et Baroque: I visited this place with Osada Steve but I don’t recall if anyone was doing rope apart from us.
Sleeping Beauty: Run by Kinoko ‘Party Boy’ Hajime. Many a happy night passed there.
Studio 6: Run by Osada Steve.
Ubu: Run by Yoi San and Bingo San.
Here is a Tokyo SM bar map and a general list of SM bars. I have no idea how many of them have kinbaku shows, if any, but at least they are likely to be rope friendly.
Tokyo Kink Society run by Charm might be a good point of contact as he’s a student of Arisue Go.
NAGOYA
Club “H” Run by Mistress Hibiki offers kinbaku/shibari rope shows on Fridays and fetish get-together on Saturdays.
