Genesis Shimabara Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Yokohama

Little fact for ya – ancient Rome had ‘em legal. Called ‘em lupanars – wolf dens. How’s that for gritty? Wolves, man! Cracks me up thinkin of some toga guy sneakin in, droppin coins. Bet he’d say, “Simin, don’t tell nobody” – yeah, that’s from the movie too. Secrets everywhere. Surprised me how deep it runs – like, even in Japan, old-school geisha spots doubled as brothels sometimes. Sneaky, huh? History’s wild.

prostitution quarter, Shimabara was the place to be. Shimabara opened for business in and closed in when prostitution was.

I finally make it inside the castle, and wow, the textures! The wood, the stone, the walls—everything is just screaming for attention. I’m snapping pics like a madman. I’m thinking, “This is gonna be epic for my portfolio.” But then, I overhear this couple arguing. Like, full-on shouting. I’m trying to enjoy my moment, and they’re ruining it! I mean, c’mon, take it outside!
