The clientele is no different from that of Tobita Shinchi. There are not only middle-aged men, but also young people and gray-haired seniors. There are also a variety of foreigners, from Asian to Caucasian, from individuals to groups. What is different is the number and density of foreigners. Tobita Shinchi is by far the most numerous and densely populated. Both stores and customers seem to be concentrated in one place.

What I strongly felt while touring Matsushima Shinchi was that most of the women were “sociable. Every girl smiled and waved at me with a big “nikkori” smile. This is not often seen in Tobita Shinchi. There are some girls who wave occasionally, but they are few in number.

In Matsushima Shinchi, there is little difference in the level of women. Overall, the women are all “cute amateurs. Tobita Shinchi has a larger difference in the level of women. There are young women with great beauty, and there are mature women. Of course, there are chubby mature women in Matsushima Shinchi as well, but they are not so conspicuous.

Also, many of the ryotei buildings in Matsushima Shinchi are newer than those in Matsushima Shinchi. The exteriors are elaborate, and some restaurants have colorfully painted walls in yellow, green, and pink. I have never seen colorful ryotei in Tobita-shinchi.

As the night deepened, my legs grew tired. It is hard to stay for a long time in Matsushima Shinchi because there is no place to sit and rest easily. There is no place for customers to gather here. All the customers are walking around in pieces. There are customers. But not many. It is like a “mini Tobita” where you can enjoy yourself in a spacious and relaxing atmosphere. Tobita Shinchi is superior in terms of “playability,” but Matsushima Shinchi is superior in terms of “seclusion. It is an “adult’s hideout” for those in the know.
