Claire Takahata Brothel ❤️

About Kyoto

“Holy Motors” vibes again—“Who were we? Who are we now?”—brothels got that mystery, yeah? Everyone’s playin’ a part—punters, girls, even the bloody madam. Ever met one? Madams, I mean—tough as nails, charm like a fox—met one once, swore she’d eat me alive, nearly did! Crikey, what a woman—had me in stitches, then scared stiff!

Mixed sentiments

Japan, a nation steeped in traditions dating back thousands of years, offers a unique juxtaposition of old and new. One of the most intriguing facets of its culture is its nightlife and entertainment .

Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a matador in Takahata is a wild ride. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window on Kōen-dōri. I’m like, “Today’s gonna be epic!” Spoiler alert: it was, but not in the way I thought.
