Tokyo Strip Clubs: Kawasaki soapland masquerade fails to rekindle innocence of youth

The Horinouchi district of Kawasaki City, just across the Tama River from Tokyo, is well known for its cut-rate soaplands (erotic bathhouses). One particular establishment, reports Nikkan Gendai (Feb. 11), appeals to men with yen by offering costume play to go with its other delights.
The reporter first attempted to enter a shop, referred to in this review only as “E,” that is well known as a gyaru-kei, i.e., specializing in masseuses who are on the young side, or who at least can pass for less than their actual age.
E’s other attraction is its low price: just 5,000 yen for a 45-minute session, with charges for extra services to be negotiated.
But it seems that “E” requires reservations and an encounter with one particular sweet young thing requires a 3-hour wait. Since the reporter describes himself as feeling akin to ueta ookami (a hungry wolf), he’s in no mood to wait. He goes off in search of another establishment and stumbles upon “R,” a kosupure specialty shop that charges 24,000 yen, all-inclusive, for 90 minutes. This actually makes it, on a per-minute basis, cheaper than “E.” And there’s no extra charges for costume changes!
