Today I'm writing on the theme of "Warabi soapland, 18 years old."
I'll mix in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku with information I've dug up.
The basics
Let me lay out the basics you should know about this area.
ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense, I think Japan's fuzoku is the highest standard on the planet. That's not blind love — it's a judgment based on comparison.
When you've watched the industry for a long time, you find that even on the same topic, the "customer's view" and the "girl's view" can rate it completely differently.
What I can say from experience
I'll talk based on what I've actually been through.
ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I had the pearls in. These days, the reaction I get when I go in with the pearls is one of the little joys. Conversations with a girl who actually asks "what is this?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.
I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. Especially in this industry, it's a world where "reps" beat "knowledge."
My takeaway
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 don't correlate." There are bargain joints with downright divine service.
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 a shop I repeat at. Take it as a reference.
