Today's topic: part-time soapland work in Kawagoe.
I've got more than 20 years in fuzoku, and I'll mix my own firsthand experience with what I've dug up through research.
The basics
Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this space.
ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "a night culture rooted in the local culture is the richest one." By that measure, I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a verdict reached by comparison.
Watch the industry long enough and you'll see the same topic 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'm speaking from what I've actually lived through.
ElonThe first time I went to a Yoshiwara soapland I was 25 — back before I'd had the pearls put in. These days, the reaction when I show up with them is one of the little joys. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is this?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.
I believe real experience beats theory. In this business especially, it's not "knowledge" but reps that talk.
My bottom line
ElonI'm not out to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've hit the "signature" soaplands in each region at least once. My takeaway: quality of service and cleanliness don't track together. Even a bargain joint can deliver downright divine hospitality.
The place I keep coming back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up again and again on this site is simple: it's the shop I actually repeat at. Take it as a reference.
