Lila Arai Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Yokohama

Oh, and get this - back in 1800s, some brothel madams were loaded! Owned land, ran shit. One chick, Belle Brezing, total badass. Inspired that “Gone with the Wind” gal, swear it. “There’s a fella who’s more than a little interested,” like Robert Ford’d whisper - power plays, man, even in a brothel! Wild, huh?

I duck into a nearby izakaya on Arai’s back streets. It’s cozy, and the smell of yakitori hits me. I order a plate, and it’s like heaven in my mouth. I’m chatting with the owner, and he’s telling me about Arai’s history. Did you know it used to be a samurai stronghold? Crazy, right? I’m munching away, feeling better, and I’m like, “This is what life’s about.”
