Men's Jobs, Toda, Soapland

Today I'm writing on the theme of "men's jobs, Toda, soapland."

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

The basics

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

Elon (admin)The first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25 — back before I'd had the pearl put in. These days, with the pearl, the reaction it gets is one of my little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" is honestly more fun than you'd think.

When you've watched this industry long enough, you find that the same topic gets a completely different verdict depending on whether you take the customer's view or the girl's view.

What I can say from experience

I'll talk based on what I've actually lived through.

Elon (admin)I don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "famous" soaplands in each region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't go hand in hand. Even a bargain joint can have godlike service.

I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. This industry especially is a world where time in the trenches counts more than knowledge.

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon (admin)42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for it. That's not a brag or a regret — just a fact I'm putting on the record.

The place I end up visiting most is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's a shop I keep going back to. Take it as a recommendation.
