Saitama Soaplands and Credit Cards

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down Saitama soaplands and credit cards from firsthand experience.

Saitama Soaplands and Credit Cards

I'll give you the bottom line first: Saitama soaplands and credit cards.

Let me walk through it step by step.

My experience and this topic

From my twenties into my forties, I've walked this world the whole way. And today's topic is a problem I've faced again and again along the way.

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "nightlife rooted in local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a judgment made by comparison.

Points worth knowing

  • Nailing the basics comes first — the advanced stuff only stands on top of the fundamentals
  • Stacking up experiences is the best teacher — you don't internalize it just from reading
  • Find a shop you can trust — to cut down the time you spend agonizing

ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I'd had the pearls put in. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the fun parts. The conversations with a girl who asks "what is this?" turn out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

The option I'm pushing right now

ElonI don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of each region's "signature soaplands." My conclusion: "service quality and cleanliness don't correlate." Even a budget place can have godlike hospitality.

My conclusion is that I recommend a visit to First Class Ruby. The service quality, the ease of booking, and the overall quality are all consistently solid.
