A 43-year-old man has been arrested at a hot spring facility in the Mie city of Kuwana for entering the women-only bathing area.
The man, who is described in media reports as unemployed, is from Kasugai in Aichi.
According to police, the man is suspected of sneaking into the women's baths at around 8:30 pm on November 13.
A female customer alerted a member of staff, who confirmed that a man was washing himself in the female bathing area, and then called the cops.
However, the story then becomes complicated because the man told police: "I'm a woman inside, so I can't understand at all ...
We recently wrote about the frankly shocking papakatsu compensated dating fraud perpetuated by a woman to fund her trips to host clubs.
It shows many things, not least the extraordinary lengths some women will go to to feed their addiction to host clubs.
This issue has drawn attention of late, with host clubs seen as more exploitative than hostess clubs. Host clubs have developed an image as an ecosystem that preys on vulnerable women and with a financial structure that leads to debt, whereby women are encouraged to rack up huge bills that they pay later.
Many of the women who go to host ...
The gentrification of Kabukicho, which has turned the main strip and square into a cleaner, more tourist-friendly place, has not changed the fundamental nature of the district. Just turn a corner and you'll find blowjob parlors and host or hostess clubs galore, not to mention Shinjuku's massive love hotel area right behind.
The dark side of Kabukicho, which gets its name from an unfulfilled plan in the postwar years to build a kabuki theater in the neighborhood, reared its head over the weekend -- in two very unpleasant scenes.
A few weeks ago, someone was thankfully prevented from jumping ...
Papakatsu is the new "sugar daddy" genre of compensated dating. For some, it's an easy way for guys who are middle aged or older with some money to have sex with younger women.
For others, it's a way to fall victim to crime.
In May, a man was almost murdered by woman who looked in reality very different from the cute lady in the pictures she put online.
Now comes a fresh cautionary tale. A 25-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. According to media reports, the host-addicted Mai Watanabe is accused of swindling three men out of ¥156 million through a romance scam.
She ...
The crackdown on happening bars and clubs in Tokyo sadly continues. Even, as in this case, if they have been around for years.
Such venues are places for swinging and tend to be members-only, though this is usually bypassed by making people members when they pay a fee at the entrance.
The legal issue comes with public indecency, since people are engaged in sexual activities in a place accessible to the public like a bar or club. A way to circumvent the law against indecent exposure is to have private playrooms.
The happening bar was 9259 in Shinjuku, which made a nominal claim at being a ...
If you ever worry that your kink is weird or a problem, or might land you in trouble one day, spare a thought for this guy.
A 32-year-old man from Kobe was arrested recently for trying to abduct a female junior high school student. Why? It's perhaps not what you expect: the company employee wanted her to step on his body.
Atsushi Yamamoto and the student met in a local park. "I'll pay you several thousand yen for stepping on my body," he told her. They got in his car and he paid her in cash. The act then allegedly took place in a parking lot near a train station between around midnight on ...
We frequently report on cases of men sneaking into schools and other places to steal underwear or watch women. The most recent was the man who ended up seriously injuring himself after he attempted to climb down from a rope to spy on residents of an apartment building.
But what's rarer, or seems to get reported more rarely, are men who do these things to spy on other guys.
Well, here's a recent case that might somewhat redress the balance.
A German engineer, Ulrich Distelhorst (if we are transliterating the katakana correctly), was arrested by police for sneaking into the changing room of ...
When someone is hurt, you should always help them out, right? It's a universal human law.
But not everyone who is hurt is 100% a victim, as this cautionary tale reveals.
A man fell down onto an apartment balcony, seriously injuring himself. His bloody body was found on the ground by a resident. He had fallen several floors while trying to lower himself from the roof with a rope.
Though it happened back in May, the incident was only reported in the Japanese media last week. This is because he has now been referred to the prosecutors following his physical recovery.
Wearing tabi shoes, ...
Tokyo police have arrested a 25-year-old man for ejaculating onto a teenager's skirt on a morning train.
The arrest was recently announced but the actual incident allegedly took place on November 19, 2021, on a train traveling on the Seibu Ikebukuro line between Shakujii-koen and Ikebukuro stations some time after seven o'clock.
The man is suspected of ejaculating onto the female teenager's skirt, which others noticed when the girl got off the train. A member of staff at the train station then alerted the police.
The man was caught and identified almost two years later because he is ...
Just when you thought it was safe to walk by a drain in a skirt, the drain pervert is back!
If you live in Kobe, be sure to check the drains before walking over them.
Police in the West Japan city have arrested the 36-year-old Yasuomi Hirai for setting up a phone in a roadside drain in order to take videos of schoolgirls.
He was caught when the camera was filming an 18-year-old school student at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 8. And he was found out because the girl was a Good Samaritan. She noticed the phone in the drain and took it to a police substation, believing it was ...
