Koshigaya Soapland: Top-Shelf

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku scene, breaks down top-shelf Koshigaya soapland from firsthand experience.

Koshigaya Soapland: Top-Shelf

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Koshigaya soapland, top-shelf."

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

The basics

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

ElonI'm not out 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 always go hand in hand. There are dirt-cheap shops with damn near miraculous service.

When you've watched this industry for a long time, the same topic can get judged completely differently from "the customer's side" versus "the girl's side."

What I can tell you from experience

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

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

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon
ElonAfter phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I've got the confidence that I'm "ready for anything." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger shift is the psychological ease. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: I can say "no regrets."

The place I end up visiting most is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simply that it's the shop I keep returning to. Use it as a reference.
