Torture Garden is probably Tokyo's best-known fetish club, having an older-sister club in London, and was brought over to Japan by club organiser Sota, who also DJs and runs a record label and rubber-clothing shop. There is more action here than at the other clubs, and despite the not-too-strict dresscode, many of the patrons seem to be getting into the heady atmosphere.

The lounge room is intimate, like someone's house, and by the end of the night, naked Japanese men are rolling around the floor writhing in pleasure while numerous mistresses are whipping them and squashing their crown jewels with pin-heeled stilettos.
