Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down out-of-town work in Tokorozawa from firsthand experience.

Tokorozawa Out-of-Town Work (Dekasegi)

Today's topic: "out-of-town work (dekasegi) in Tokorozawa."

I'll lay it out using a mix of my own firsthand experience — over 20 years in the fuzoku world (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) — and what I've dug up through research.

The basics

Let me organize what you actually need to know about this corner of the business.

When you've watched this industry long enough, you learn that the same topic gets graded completely differently depending on whether you're looking at it from the customer's side or the girl's side.

What I can say from experience

I'll talk from what I've actually lived through.

ElonAfter getting circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I walk in feeling like I'm "fully prepped." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger difference is the psychological ease. To anyone agonizing over whether to get work done: I can tell you, no regrets.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. Especially in this business, it's a world where reps matter more than book knowledge.

My bottom line

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that the richest nightlife is the kind rooted in local culture. By that measure, I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a judgment made by comparison.

The place I keep coming back to in the end is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up over and over on this site is simple: it's the shop I actually repeat at. Take it as a reference.
