I still haven't went on one of these tours (and still haven't been to Japan) but plan to, really really want to.

It's probably not the type of loli you're thinking of, unless you find teenagers and/or adults dressing up as Victorian-style dolls as being creepy, which is also understandable I guess. Gothic lolita is a kind of fashion, it's not a sexualization of children (if that's what you were thinking).

Also if anyone is wondering, they are taking reservations for the Ninja tour even though the price isn't listed yet. They said that the price should be listed before the end of the year.

I was kind of stuck between that one and the Samurai and Snow tour, but I really don't care about looking at Ice Sculptures the whole final day so I chose the Ninja tour.

No, not Japanese gay bars, but Butler Cafes. They are cafes targeted specifically at female BL/yaoi/bishonen fans. Think of them as the female equivalant of a maid cafe.

I think I might go on either the yaoi or Goth Loli one. I'd love to buy yaoi stuff and go to Otome Road and meet Makoto Tateno, but I'm afraid that there will be tons of annoying 12 year old rabid fangirls squealing all of the time. The Goth Lolis might be a nicer, calmer bunch to hang with. But I like Boy's Love more than Goth Loli....hmmmm....first I have to see if I can financially do this though....
