"Saitama soapland jobs" — I figure this phrase clicks for some people and means nothing to others.
At 42 I'm still out walking the floor of this world, so I'll lay it out from a real, on-the-ground angle.
Why this topic matters
Information about fuzoku is surprisingly poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonAfter studying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." By that measure, I think Japan's fuzoku is the best in the world. That's not blind love — it's a judgment based on comparison.
What this actually means
In a word: "knowing versus not knowing changes the quality of the experience."
ElonThe first time I went to a soapland (soap) in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back when I still didn't have the pearl in. Now, the reaction when I go in with the pearl is one of my little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is this?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.
I'm writing down here the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.
Finally
ElonI don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "signature soaplands" in each region. My conclusion: "service quality and cleanliness aren't proportional." There are dirt-cheap shops with downright godlike service.
