Sugamo North Exit vs Nishi Kawaguchi
Based on the advice on this board, today tried the J-Building at Sugamo (North Exit). The building takes a little finding: it is hidden in a nook just in from the main road but very close to the station. Address is Sugamo 2-1-3. Once you find the building you know you're there, shops on all floors. 5th floor shop is now called Strawberry. Chinese mamasan, Y9000 for 40 mins. Women in their thirties. Once I worked out who my operator was going to be (she was first servicing a doddery and spluttering geeser in his late 70s or early 80's), I got my money back and caught the train straight to Nishi Kawaguchi where I had a very GFE 60 minutes for Y8000 with a 23 year old who had arrived from Harbin 2 weeks ago. NK manager and manageress were most enthusiastic to see me, manager suggesting I try the new girl this time. They provided 2 stamina drinks and a new discount card, as I had lost the last one. Manageress chatted me up in the waiting room and I thought for a while that she wanted to do me too. To my mind there is no comparison between SNE and NK...
Ueno does have an entertainment area
[QUOTE=Bigpolack]Is there one in Ueno? I have never seen one, but it could be hidden away. Can anybody offer map instructions, if indeed, there is one?[/QUOTE]The red light district you may be thinking of is Yoshiwara, which is near but not in Ueno. There is an entertainment area near the Keisei station, across from the McDonalds, just past the Sunkus Convenience store. Down that lane are a number of hostess bars, and a few massage places like New York New York. You can't miss these areas in any of the towns, because they usually have a number of bars and the overhead signage fronting the main lane.AT2
Sugamo 0 Nishi-Kawaguchi 2
[QUOTE=Lubricate It]Based on the advice on this board, today tried the J-Building at Sugamo (North Exit)[/QUOTE]I'm glad someone else tried it out. As I wrote before, I used to be a regular at J-Building and was always very satisfied (FS, cheap, nice girls) until earlier this year. Thanks, you've probably saved me a wasted trip back ;-)[QUOTE=Lubricate It]To my mind there is no comparison between SNE and NK..[/QUOTE]I completely agree with you. I was just saying that Sugamo was the cheapest FS place I'd found in Tokyo. But Nishi-Kawaguchi isn't in Tokyo, it's in Saitama.BTW, as Lubricate It mentioned here before, "Nishi-Kawaguchi" has long been a common euphemism for "full service" in the Kanto sex trade. I think that says it all about Nishi-Kawaguchi's reputation among Japanese punters.One more thing about Nishi-Kawaguchi - I witnessed a police raid on my last visit there in the early part of this year. Hurrying to my favorite shop, I turned a corner and nearly walked into dozens of policemen as they trooped out of their vans and into a building full of assorted massage parlours. I hung around to rubberneck a little, but the sight of the law so close to my intended destination made me nervous so I gave Junior the evening off.
