Koshigaya Soapland: Petite Girls

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Koshigaya, soapland, petite girls."

I'll explain it by mixing in my own firsthand experience — over 20 years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) — with what I've turned up through research.

The basics

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

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

Watch the industry long enough and you'll see the same topic get judged completely differently depending on whether you're looking from the customer's side or the girl's side.

What I can tell you from experience

I'm speaking from what I've been through myself.

ElonThe first time I went to a soapland (a bath-style full-service format) in Yoshiwara I was 25 — back when I hadn't gotten the pearls put in yet. Now seeing the reaction when I go in with pearls is one of the little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what's this?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. In this industry especially, it's "reps" that talk, not "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

ElonI'm not trying to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've worked my way through the famous ones in each region. My conclusion: "service quality and cleanliness don't correlate." Even bargain-priced shops can have godlike hospitality.

In the end, the place I keep going back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up across this site is simple: it's a shop I repeat at. Use it as a reference.
