Chinese Tourists Visiting Japan Seeking Traditional Japanese ‘Windsor’ Shops are Refused Service!
When people mention Japan, many might think of it as a sparsely populated country with bizarre and unique cultural tourism. Japan is also perceived as a nation with a high degree of prostitution, and its industries are comprehensively developed. Today, this article will introduce Shinjuku's Kabukicho in Tokyo, a very famous street in Japan.
This street is also one of the most famous Kabukicho areas in Asia, with a history of several decades. Located at the east exit of Shinjuku Station, it gathers many cinemas, bars, and entertainment venues, including nightclubs and love hotels, and is often referred to as 'Midnight' – the streets remain brightly lit even into the late hours. The combination of legal and illegal activities creates the unique atmosphere of Kabukicho.
Entering Shinjuku's Kabukicho, you can see many lights and restaurants, and various services are operated here, including those for men and women. The staff can accompany guests for drinks and conversations, and provide other specialized services. However, many establishments primarily cater to male customers, and others are specifically designed for female customers.
In the past, some tourists have caused trouble by behaving recklessly, but this attracts many customers. However, if you don't speak the language, it's easy to cause misunderstandings, and the establishment generally doesn't serve foreigners.
The reason why Japanese windsor shops don't accept foreign customers is because they cannot communicate with foreigners, and the prices of windsor shops are not expensive, but the added cost is in the subsequent services. Language misunderstandings can lead to price disputes, which is something shop owners and staff don't want to see. In fact, windsor shops don't provide 'sexual services'; this is often misunderstood by foreigners who may misinterpret gestures and actions, which is why they are reluctant to serve foreigners.
Furthermore, conflicts have occurred between Chinese tourists and the establishment, leading to sensitivity among the Japanese. The issues of slow food service and high prices are the catalysts for these disagreements. Despite this, many people only see the surface's bustling activity, but some establishments also have traps. Moreover, Tokyo has taken tough measures against what is considered Asia's largest 'red-light district,' Kabukicho.
