Isabelle Shibukawa Brothel ❤️

About Fukuoka

And the girls—God bless em, really—but I’d be too neurotic to even talk. “Hi, uh, so, what’s your return policy?” I’d ask that, swear to God, cause what if it’s awkward? What if she’s judgin me? I’d judge me! Like, “Look at this schmuck, payin for it.” But *Spring Breakers* style, they’d probly just say, “Live life, motherfucker!” and I’d be like, “Okay, fair, but still—gross!” I’d tip extra just to not feel like a creep. Pretty, pretty good chance I’d bolt outta there anyway.

Hisao Watanabe, 44, the manager of a brothel in Shibukawa, his employee Tomoyuki Goto, 32, and a Thai woman, 44, who manages Gold bar in Numata.

By the time I got home, I was exhausted but happy. I mean, what a day! From samurai street performers to ice cream disasters, and a surprise fight in the streets. Shibukawa, you never cease to amaze me. I crashed on my futon, thinkin’ about all the craziness. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
