<h3><span class="strongInContent"> Questions about the September sauna bust</span></h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Sauna in Nishi-Kawaguchi suspected of offering sexual services / Saitama Prefecture.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Four women were arrested on suspicion of offering services in Nishi-Kawaguchi and operating a store in a prohibited area.</span></p>
<p> The news was published on September 5, 2013, about two months ago. Two Korean women were arrested for providing sexual services to an unspecified number of male customers in the private rooms of a public bathhouse &#8220;Green Sauna&#8221; in Nishi-Kawaguchi. They were reportedly suspected of violating the Entertainment Establishments Control Law by operating an adult entertainment establishment in an area where business is prohibited (prohibited zone business).</p>
<p> Green Sauna&#8221; in Nishi-Kawaguchi was famous in underground sex industry circles as a &#8220;sauna with sexual services. I, who has been uploading videos reporting on underground sex stores, have reported on this store twice in total.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> After sweating in the sauna, soaking in the bathtub, and having the scrubs removed from my body with an akasuri, I went to another room to receive a full-fledged massage, and confirmed that sexual services were provided as reported in the news. The service was performed by a small, beautiful Korean woman, estimated to be in her mid-40s, for a total of 9,000 yen. The restaurant was thriving and there was a 30-minute wait on both occasions.</p>
<p> Such a green sauna was exposed. The sauna was doing something it was not supposed to be doing, so it was inevitable that it was caught.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> One question came to mind. As those in the know may know, there is another sauna in Nishi-Kawaguchi called &#8220;X Sauna,&#8221; which is exactly the same style as the Green Sauna. I have reported on this one as well, and it is exactly the same in terms of price, system, and age range of female partners. However, we have not been able to find any information that this sauna has been caught. If they are in violation of the Entertainment Establishments Control Law, it would be strange if they are not also caught.</p>
<p> There must be something behind this. I went to Nishi-Kawaguchi at the beginning of November.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The current Green Sauna..."></div>
<h3><span class="strongInContent">I went undercover at &#8220;X Sauna.&#8221;</span></h3>
<p> First, I went to Green Sauna. It is 9:00 p.m., and it is about a three-minute walk from the ticket gate, where many Middle Eastern foreigners hang out. At first glance, the Green Sauna looks the same as before. However, the atmosphere is somewhat dark. The building where the sauna is located is lit, but the neon lights of the Green Sauna are not lit.</p>
<p> Still, thinking that the sauna <span class="strongInContent">was still going strong</span> (illegal massage parlors tend to come back soon after they are busted), I went up to the second floor where the sauna was located. However, the door was locked and tightly closed.</p>
<p> The green sauna was not open, after all. But this was to be expected. The problem was the X Sauna on the other side of the station.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> A 10-minute walk from the Green Sauna, a blue signboard comes into view. The blue signboard came into view. The sign in front of the sauna reads &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p> The sign in front of the shop says &#8220;.&#8221; I was surprised to see that the shop is open. I opened the side-opening door and found that the shop was open for business. It seemed as if they did not care about the bust on the other side of the station, and they were doing business as usual.</p>
<p> I paid 9,000 yen at the reception desk and headed for the bathroom. The women on staff were dressed in pink one-piece dresses or swimsuits, attracting the gazes of male customers. There are three customers in front of me, and it seems that there is a bit of a wait before it is my turn to have an akasuri.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> After about 15 minutes, my number is finally called.</p>
<p> After about 15 minutes, my number was finally called. I was given a scrubbing in a curtained off area in the bathroom, which was quite pleasant. It is a hand scrubbing type of scrubbing. Even though I bathe and wash my body every day, a considerable amount of dirt comes out. At this point, of course, I was completely naked.</p>
<p> The woman who performs the scrubbing is quite cute and smiling. She is a Korean woman in her mid-40s. If you like young people, she may not be enough for you, but if you like mature women, she will probably appeal to you. When I told her that I <span class="strongInContent">prefer a massage by an older lady</span>, she said, <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;Akasuri and massage may not be the same (person).</span> （It <span class="strongInContent">depends on the situation.</span><span class="strongInContent">She said, &#8220;Next time, you have to nominate a person. Her name is 00.</span> The <span class="strongInContent">nomination fee is 500 yen.</span></p>
<p> It seems that it is not possible to add 500 yen to the nomination fee during the massage, so the person in charge of the massage was another woman. She was a pretty woman (probably Korean) in her mid-40s wearing a pink one-piece dress, and as she left the bathroom, she wrapped a towel around my waist and led me to another massage room. There were two massage rooms with pink lights and a lewd atmosphere. I, who have covered many illegal brothels, felt that it would be strange if there was nothing going on in this room.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Do illegal services exist?"></div>
<h3><span class="strongInContent">The staff told us what happened behind the scenes.</span></h3>
<p> First, the massage proceeds from the neck, shoulders, hands, and feet in a prone position. The massage is a full-fledged one, with the foot on my back. The rubbing is also strong. Even if there is no sexual service, I fall asleep thinking that 9,000 yen for this kind of massage is worth it.</p>
<p> As a result, the sexual service was the same as before. But in the end, why was only the green sauna with exactly the same services caught violating the Entertainment Establishments Control Law?　In fact, I somehow asked both the akasuri woman and the massage woman, but they said they did not know the reason.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> We dressed our smooth bodies and prepared to leave the store. There seemed to be a constant stream of visitors, and there were about three people waiting in the bathroom for their akasuri.</p>
<p> In conclusion, nothing had changed at X Sauna. Even though the green sauna had been exposed, none of the services had changed.</p>
<p> On my way home, I was able to have a brief conversation with a staff member who appeared to be the owner&#8217;s mother.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Green Sauna has been busted, hasn&#8217;t it? Is everything okay here?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> We&#8217;re fine here. We pay our taxes.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> What, Green Sauna didn&#8217;t pay taxes?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yes, that&#8217;s why we got busted. That&#8217;s why they got hit.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I didn&#8217;t realize that. &#8230;&#8230; I guess you got more customers here after Green was busted, didn&#8217;t you?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Yes, it did.</span></p>
<p> Shocking. The decisive reason for the bust was not only the violation of the Entertainment Establishments Control Law, as reported in the news article.</p>
<p> The X Sauna is a lively place, and the Green Sauna is a quiet place. It is not clear whether or not they were really deciding whether or not they were fulfilling their obligations in doing business in Japan, as the staff member who seemed to be the mother said. However, there is no doubt that the two stores across the station have become very different sides of the same coin.</p>
