  I'm stuck in Tokyo until January 13th, visiting
  family. Is there a place in Tokyo where I can meet
  Japanese girls under respectable circumstances? I
  went to Roppongi tonight but it was a traumatizing
  experience, as there were almost no Westerners,
  aggressive black pimps trying to pull you into shady
  clubs, and slimy Chinese prostitutes all over the
  place. I'd prefer some place where the music is not
  deafening and I can meet people who are not
  prostitutes or criminals.  I'm looking for
  constructive advice here, not accusations that I am
  naive or arrogant.

Why don't you simply ask your family to introduce you
to people?
