I'll cut to the chase: soapland, 18-year-olds, Warabi.
Let me walk through it step by step.
My history with this topic
From my twenties into my forties, I've walked this world the whole way. And in all that time, today's topic is a question I've had to face over and over.
Elon (Admin)After surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind favoritism — it's a judgment made by comparison.
Points worth knowing
- Nail the fundamentals first — the advanced stuff only stands on top of the basics
- Stacked experience is the best teacher — you won't get it just by reading
- Find a shop you can trust — to cut down the time spent waffling
Elon (Admin)The first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I'd gotten the pearl put in. These days the reaction when I show up with the pearl is one of the little joys. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.
The option I'm pushing right now
Elon (Admin)I'm not trying to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've hit the "signature" soaplands in just about every region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't correlate. Even the cheap joints can have downright miraculous service.
Bottom line, I'd point you to First Class Ruby. The service quality, the ease of booking, and the overall consistency are all solid.
