The RAA was created on August 28 , 1945 by the Japanese Home Ministry to contain the sexual urges of the occupation forces and protect the main Japanese populace from Rape . The RAA's own slogan was "For the country, a sexual breakwater to protect Japanese women" (お国のために日本女性を守る性の防波堤). In September, the system was extended to cover the entire country. GHQ commandeered these institutions (22 places of prostitution) on September 28 because rapes by the occupation army soldiers were frequent as real troubles.Tadasu, Nakanishi.

The japanese police (tokko) recorded crimes of the occupation army soldiers. But these official documents were confiscated by GHQ. GHQ censored japanese mass media for the reign of GHQ. There was a place of prostitution for high officer's exclusive use at mukoujima. Japanese war widows endured humiliation of ex-enemy to dead husband for a living. Unlike wartime ". The price for a sex act was 15 Yen ; soldiers paid beforehand and received a ticket and a Condom in return. In January 1946 , the RAA was terminated by an order to cease all "public" prostitution. The ban is traditionally attributed to the efforts of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt . General Douglas MacArthur declared all places of prostitution off limits on March 25, 1946, probably because of the high incidence of sexually transmitted diseases among American soldiers.
