Tobita Shinchi – Osaka’s Hidden Red-Light District👄
Tobita Shinchi, located in Nishinari Ward, Osaka, is one of Japan’s most distinctive surviving red-light districts, known for its traditional Japanese teahouse-style buildings and unique business model.😍😍😍
In this area, “ryotei” (ostensibly traditional restaurants but in reality, brothels) line the streets, with young women dressed in kimono sitting at the entrance, while “mama-sans” (female managers) handle client negotiations.

Experiencing Labor Pain Becomes a Trend in China😮
In recent years, experiencing labor pain has become a trend in China. A woman in Henan Province wanted to test her fiancé’s sincerity before marriage and took him to a “simulated childbirth experience center” to undergo labor pain simulation. The man endured the highest level of pain for three hours, causing him to lose consciousness and suffer intestinal necrosis. As a result, not only was the marriage called off, but he might also sue the woman.😓😓😓
The woman, along with her mother and older sister, believed that a man must experience childbirth pain in order to truly appreciate his wife after marriage. Although the man initially resisted, he eventually agreed due to the firm stance of his future mother-in-law.😞😞😞

The Issue of Illegal Prostitution at Okubo Park🤱
Okubo Park, located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, near the bustling Kabukicho district, was once an ordinary public recreational space. However, in recent years, it has gradually become a hotspot for illegal prostitution, particularly involving foreign women from Southeast Asia, who solicit clients seeking street-based transactions.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Many of these women are undocumented migrants or sex workers under coercion, offering services at low prices around the park and sometimes completing transactions in nearby internet cafes or capsule hotels. Since these activities are illegal, the women face not only the risk of arrest or deportation but also the dangers of violence, exploitation, and control by criminal organizations.🎂🎂🎂
