Dirt-Cheap Saitama Soaplands

Today I'm writing on the topic of "dirt-cheap Saitama soaplands."

I'll mix in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) along with what I've turned up researching.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals worth knowing about this area.

Elon (editor)There've been months where my fuzoku spending blew past my rent. That's where being 42, single, and living alone gets you. No regrets. But it's a fact that if you don't set a "spending ceiling," you'll sink into the swamp.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the very same topic gets judged completely differently from the "customer's side" versus the "girl's side."

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'll talk from what I've actually lived through.

Elon (editor)The first time I went to a Yoshiwara soapland I was 25 — back before I'd put the pearls in. These days the reaction when I go in with them is one of the little thrills. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. In this business especially, reps in the field count for more than book knowledge.

Wrap-up and my bottom line

Elon (editor)I don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've hit the "signature" shops in each region. My takeaway: "service quality and cleanliness don't track together." Even a bargain joint can deliver god-tier service.

The place I end up visiting most is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's the shop I keep going back to. Take it as a reference.
