Vanessa Hamamatsu Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Fukuoka

I’m sittin’ here, munchin’ donuts, thinkin’, “Marge’d kill me if I went!” D’oh! But lemme tell ya, them places got stories. Like, in Nevada, legal brothels—yep, real deal, tax-payin’ joints! Got this one, Mustang Ranch, famous as heck, shut down, reopened, wild west vibes. Makes me happy—freedom, ya know? But angry too—why’s it still shady everywhere else? Ugh, dumb laws!

TIL Japan defines prostitution as "intercourse with an unspecified person in exchange for payment”; brothel owners circumvent this law by not.

Later, I’m wandering around the streets, and I stumble upon a little izakaya on Shizuoka Street. The vibe is perfect. I order some sake, and the owner, this old dude, starts telling me stories about the city. He’s like, “Hamamatsu is the birthplace of the harmonica!” I’m like, “What?!” Mind blown. I never knew that. He hands me a harmonica, and I’m trying to play it, but it sounds like a dying cat. Everyone’s laughing, and I’m just rolling with it.
