BBW Kinshicho: The ¥200 Minute, a Transport Fee Shaped Like a Train Line, and Why Every Discount Costs You Something Else
A field report on BBW Kinshicho, a plus-size specialist deriheru in Sumida-ku, read entirely through its published numbers: a marginal rate pinned at exactly ¥200 a minute from 85 minutes to 240, a transport ladder measured from a rail corridor rather than from the shop, an 11:00–23:00 clock that matches the last train, and a coupon sheet where the yen never actually moves for free.
