@Picao84 You are not going to run into Yakuza. You are not running into the mob into your country either, right?
@Grall The 2d waifu/pillow thing is more of a social issue. As you said some of them don't have a lot of contact with women.
@orangpelupa Exactly what do you want to know?
If you're looking for sexual services you can go to Osaka's red light district in Tobita Shinchi. You'll see the girls and mama-san's sitting in front of the stores. If the mama-san ignores you, don't even bother. If she waves/talks to you, you might have a chance. If you don't speak Japanese this is the only place you might have a chance.
Might be fun even to just have a look around. The place is safe but the area around it is one of Japan's worst.
In Osaka if you walk around Umeda you might also notice a lot of empty looking stores with just a banner hanging above the entrance and maybe a guy standing in front located between the many restaurants/izakays. Those are basically "girl ordering" places. You go in and pick a girl from a picture and then you meet at a hotel or go there together. The last part I'm not sure about as I never tried.
For research purposes you can google soaplands (ソープランド）、Fuuzoku (sexual services) (風俗) and delivery health (escort service) (デリヘルス).
I'd say your chances at any of these places as a foreigner that doesn't speak Japanese are pretty slim. I've never made use of any of those services so own risk applies.
I'd say prostitution and adultery are more or less accepted in Japan. If I hear the stories from my co-workers it seems to be more a question of whether A) their wifes don't mind guys going to prostitutes because they pay so no love is involved or B) they think prostitutes are dirty and consider it insulting, they'd rather have their guy cheat on them with a cute girl because they could accept that.
The average Japanese relationship is very different from western relationships and love as we know it often doesn't appear to present or not as strong as in the west. A lot of couples don't even sleep in the same room or hardly ever have sex or no sex at all.
After childbirth in particular this happens a lot. The relationship changes from husband and wife to papa and mama and from there on the mother's focus is on the child.
A lot of relationships seem to end up in having to live together because getting a divorce is still a bit of a social no-no or because of other merits but with love being virtually non existent.
My GF's parents for example live together but have been sleeping apart from a long time and if I see them together there is pretty much nothing holding them together apart from maybe one of their kids still living at home. If I say something like my parents still walk hand in hand that shocks a lot of peoplel. My parents? no way they'd do that! is the usual response.
Marriage as much as anything is a social responsibly. In that sense it is not that strange that prostitution and adultery are common. Its not really considered a love thing either, just a physical urge.
Other people might have different experiences but this is the feeling I get from the Japanese around me.
