Toda Soapland: Can You Make Good Money?

"Toda soapland — can you make good money?" Some people hear that and instantly know what it's about; others don't.

I'm 42 and still out there walking the floor of this world, so I'll lay it out from a real-world point of view.

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend not to even know where to start looking.

ElonI'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 go hand in hand. Even a bargain joint can have godlike service.

What that actually means

In a word: knowing or not knowing changes the quality of the experience.
