(29,257 posts)It is so extremely seedy that it doesn't feel like Japan at all. And I have had Japanese friends say exactly the same thing. It is beyong imagining frankly, like a cartoon version of what foreigners think of as Japan. But it has very little in common with the reality of Japan for most people.
It is a tourist spot that everyone goes to when they visit Osaka and as such has attracted an army of predatory hosts and hostesses who try to find horny older men and horny and sad women to drop some money on a night of fun.
It is as representative of Japan as the Las Vegas strip is representative of America. Would you think it appropriate to draw conclusions about America from visiting the seediest part of Las Vegas for one night and doing a documentary on it?
Would you conclude that Americans are like that, or that it shows how American relationships are?
