A walk around - One of Namba's many "sexy" areas

As we came down the back side of the hill into the "South" area of main Osaka we were still sticking to little side streets.  It is very surprising how much is not visible from the main roads.  We stumbled upon a few blocks of love hotels, sex shops, and other ....sexy things. 

Laundry AND herb shop!  Great!

In Japan, when you see a hotel that says "HOTEL" it is most likely a love hotel.  Screwy huh?

Here you can see that this love hotel has 222 movies, welcome desserts and drinks for members, jet bathtub, breakfast, massage chairs, karaoke, video games, plasma TV, shampoo and skin care rental, and .....costumes for sexy time.  

Lots of different prices-

Yukino and I definitely saw a guy walk out of here with a hooker.  I believe this to be the hooker building.  

A man and hooker.  

Hookers really aren't hookers here.  Those are illegal.  That is why only non-Japanese gals do that.  Sorta.  There are plenty of deli-heru (delivery health) services that provide a girl to be delivered to a hotel to meet a man.  We saw plenty of drivers waiting for their lady coworker to finish in her job in the hotel .  There also plenty of places where a guy can go to get that or other certain deeds done. 

So, hookers they aren't.  In the eyes of the law they are more like healthcare workers.
