Nova Akashi Brothel ❤️

About Kawasaki

Here’s the kicker – brothels been round forever, yo. Ancient Rome had ‘em, called lupanars, means “wolf den” – howl at that! Funny as hell, picturin’ toga dudes stumblin’ out, broke and smilin’. I’d break that scene, tho – “I must break you,” smashin’ tables, demandin’ respect for the crafty ones stuck there. Ain’t all glitz, man, some stories gut ya – girls traded like violins at a pawn shop. Makes me wanna scream, bust shit up!

Indulge Me (Akashi x Kuroko)

Looking for a bit of seedy Japan? Kaukicho in Tokyo's Shijuku Ward will get just close enough to feeling uncomfortable while staying safe.

After the rain, the streets are all shiny and fresh. We decide to walk around, and I’m just soaking in the sights. The Akashi Park is beautiful, especially after the rain. The cherry blossoms are still hanging on, and I’m like, “This is why I love this city.”
