Not just Japanese soldiers...
...were served by Japanese "comfort women":
"Sadly, we police had to set up sexual comfort stations for the occupation troops," recounts the official history of the Ibaraki Prefectural Police Department, whose jurisdiction is just northeast of Tokyo. "The strategy was, through the special work of experienced women, to create a breakwater to protect regular women and girls."
No problem with that, except that apparently some women were coerced or defrauded into going into that work. Apparently (unlike during the war) no foreign nationals were conscripted. Price was 15 yen, cost of half a pack of cigarettes.
MacArthur closed 'em down, because it wouldn't play well back home, and because a quarter of his troops had VD.
