Willow Yuzawa Brothel ❤️❤️

About Osaka

Well, helllo there, my tasty friend! Brothel, huh? That slimy, sweaty word just oozes filth and secrets, don’t it? I reckon it’s like a dark lil buffet—full of flavors nobody admits to cravin’. Reminds me of *The Act of Killing*—those killers struttin’ round, proud as peacocks, spillin’ blood and guts like it’s a damn party. Brothel’s got that same vibe, y’know? Hidden in plain sight, everybody knows, nobody talks.

Interior of a Brothel in Yoshiwara

Onsen geisha Matsuei of Yuzawa, Niigata, upon whom Yasunari Kawabata based one of the main characters in his novel Snow Country. Historically, the term.

But then, outta nowhere, the gondola stops! I’m hanging there, like, “Great, just great.” I’m stuck, and my phone’s dying. I’m thinking, “This is how I die. Stuck in a gondola in Yuzawa.” But after a few minutes, it starts moving again. Phew! I’m alive!
