19.00 Evening excursion to the entertainment area for men Yoshiwara in the city. Tokyo on personal transport with a Russian guide. You will learn about the history of the Yoshiwara quarter - the place where the brothels of old Tokyo (Edo) were located, get acquainted with the classification of brothels, what were the duties of geisha, how much their services cost, what Japanese courtesans dressed in, what hairstyles they wore and much, much more. The neighborhood is still legal, although prostitution is banned in Japan. “Viciousness is like a disease in the air,” and despite persistent efforts to eradicate prostitution in all countries and at all times, it continues to exist — unbridled and unstoppable. In its efforts to solve the problem of prostitution, Japan has not remained isolated from the rest of the world, and the current system of state control over all aspects of this activity was established about three hundred years ago. Taking the existence of Yoshiwar as a fact even at the present time, one realizes that a system which has been tested for three hundred years must have some positive features, and that in three centuries many interesting, good and bad, customs have developed around this phenomenon. As long as mankind exists, as long as human needs demand satisfaction at all costs, as long as blood flows through the veins, as long as men are overwhelmed by passions and women are weak, as long as base pleasures are attractive to confused and sin-ridden humanity, as long as the lust of the “brute animal” grows on earth, debauchery and dissoluteness will undoubtedly continue to need thousands of unfortunate victims. The neighborhood, located in the Taito district on the outskirts of Tokyo, is known for the largest number of erotic washing rooms for men called “soap country”. There are now about 1,000 such establishments in Japan, and about 100 of them are in Yoshiwara, an ancient red-light district. The history of the red light district in Japan begins in 1598, when the powerful military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi opened the first establishment of this type in Kyoto. Yoshiwara has existed since 1618 and has not lost its appeal to this day. At the peak of popularity, about 3,000 priestesses of love worked here. It is believed that neighborhoods of pleasure are necessary for men, as only here they can vent sexual tension and unleash vices, and then ... return to a respectable society. If we look back in history, we learn that the red light districts in Japan have always been strictly controlled by the government and a licensing system for both prostitutes and geisha was introduced. Such areas were closed by borders and had only one guarded gate so that unwanted “priestess of love from the outside” could not enter. Soap Country is a sex cabinet where women wash men while giving erotic massages to their naked bodies. Thus, they circumvent the law prohibiting prostitution - after all, the man allegedly pays only for the wash. But no one prevents the couple from falling in love with each other and completing the massage with an act of love. A small selection of photos of Yoshiwar from the last century here.
