Akabane Soapland: Flexible Scheduling

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Akabane soapland, flexible scheduling."

I'll explain it by mixing in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku with information I've gathered through research.

The basics

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

ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. Back then I hadn't gotten the pearls put in yet. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is this?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

When you've watched the industry for a long time, you find that on the same topic, the "customer's view" and the "girl's view" can lead to completely different assessments.

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'll talk based on what I've personally been through.

ElonI'm not trying to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've hit the "signature" soaplands in most regions. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't go hand in hand. Even the bargain spots can have downright divine service.

I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. This industry in particular is a world where "reps" count for more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your entire paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an "eye" for it. That's not a brag and it's not regret — I'm just stating it as fact.

The place I end up visiting most often is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simply that it's a shop I'm a repeat customer at. Use it as a reference.
