Saitama, Soapland, At-Home Service

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Saitama, soapland, at-home service."

I'll explain it by blending my own firsthand experience—over 20 years in fuzoku—with what I've picked up from research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this area.

ElonHaving surveyed nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love—it's a judgment based on comparison.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that even on the same topic, the "customer's view" and the "girl's view" can rate it completely differently.

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'll talk based on what I've actually been through myself.

ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at 25. Back then I hadn't gotten the pearl implant yet. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the pleasures. Conversations with a girl who asks "what is this?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. This industry especially is a world where "reps" matter more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

ElonI don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've been through the "signature soaplands" in each region. My conclusion: "service quality and cleanliness don't correlate." Even a bargain spot can have godlike service.

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