    Age of consent

    I guess I'm not the only person surprised by the recent debate about the age of consent in Japan. Apparently it's 13 according to a law from 1907. What's really going on? We all know that's not the case - or is 18 years only for sex work? Or are there local regulations? Or other laws in play? It...

    Minister Kono's press conference on the start of vaccination in Japan

    Isn’t the biggest story here a Japanese politician holding a press conference in perfectly good English?

    Even After X amount of years in Japan I'll never get used to____

    I always also bring OTC painkillers with me from my home country. I have always wondered if this is actually legal. I never imagined that a reasonable amount for personal use found in my luggage at Narita would be a major problem. But now I’m considering asking a friend to send me by mail. It’s...

    Half-width numbers only

    I think I have figured out what might be the issue. It’s a DH service I have used many times. I know they have my phone # in their system. The half-width message is information not an error message. The error message is: Validation Error: isUniqueMemberTelno

    Half-width numbers only

    Thanks. I thought so, but doesn’t work. Might be something else then. I’ll work on it

    Half-width numbers only

    Unexpected problem. I’m trying to register on a Japanese site. No problem until I came to the phone number. Received the above message. I know how to write kana on Line, etc. But I don’t understand what this means, or how to do it on an iPhone. I’m definitely not a Japanese language scholar. I...

    Love Hotels - More than 2 people

    To find a LH for a FFM 3P is no problem. Many, probably most are fine with that. MMF is trickier. I never understood why. But you can find several in Gotanda, Shibuya and in Shinjuku, that I’m aware of. The hotel will typically add 1500 to 2000 to the standard price. But then a lady will usually...

    Policewoman caught working in a fuzoku shop

    She was NOT fired, according to the original story. She got one month reduced salary. Seems fair enough to me. She decided to quit. The shame, I suppose. Wouldn’t you?

    Edo escorts

    In the early late Edo period – around year 1800 – the services of a prostitute at one of the post-stations along Tokaido or Nakasendo cost between 300 and 500 mon. Let’s make it 400 mon, for simplicity’s case. At the same time, a bowl of soba at an inn cost around 16 mon. Let’s put the cost for...

    Gold and bras

    I just read about the three Taiwanese women who have been sentenced to prison (suspended) in Hokkaido for attempting to smuggle gold hidden in their bras into Japan. What is the business model? How do you make money from bringing modest amounts of gold to Japan? And why is it illegal to bring...

    Completely Useless or Confusing Things in Tokyo

    There must be a video somewhere out there, but I haven't been able to locate it. Strange, as the sound of those punchers was everywhere. It was fascinating to watch the guys, hands shaking the punchers non-stop while they just navigated the stream of tickets with the other hand (sorry, awkward...

    Completely Useless or Confusing Things in Tokyo

    Talking about Tokyo sounds. Anybody remember the guys punching tickets at the train/subway stations in the 80s? The incredible sound is one of my strongest memories from my very first trip to Tokyo. Iconic. Just imagine the sound of Shinjuku Station during rush hour. Not sure when they...

    Love Hotels in Meguro

    I know those hotels, but have never used them. I would say that they are more like 5 minutes from the station.

    Best place in Tokyo for a book nerd?

    I love Tsutaya Daikanyama, but the English section is very limited. Maruzen or Kinokunya in Shinjuku is far more extensive.
