Japanese Sex Shops April 15, 2009
Posted by Martin in : japan, travel , add a commentThe Japanese don’t seem in the least embarrassed about sex shops and they are well advertised and very easy to find.
I definitely believe that the schoolboy legend of schoolgirl panty vending machines are real. I did spent time looking but decided it wasn’t one of my must-see’s in the city.
There is YouTube footage showing it really does exist though.
Maid Cafes April 15, 2009
Posted by Martin in : japan, travel , add a commentA nicely perverted phenomenon in Japan are the Maid Cafes. They are most prevalent in the Akhiabara area of Tokyo.
These cafes are hosted by pretty girls who dress up as french maids and speak with childish squeaky voices.
Customers (referred to by the staff as ‘Lords’ or ‘Masters’) are not allowed to touch these maids but can, at an extra fee, play a children’s card game with them. For your money you get expensive snacks, sloppy service and an earful of high-pitched giggling when your maid places your order at the table.
There was a seating fee of about 700 yen and the selection of food and drinks there was dull and really expensive.
Tik really was not impressed and neither of us really see the attraction of being pestered by squeaky adults so we didn’t venture any further.
Akihabara, Tokyo – Japan Day 10 April 15, 2009
Posted by Martin in : japan, travel , add a commentI’ve been excited to get to Akihabara for years. This is Tokyo’s electronics district and I was keen to see some of the fantastic robots that we so often see on TV.
