INTEREST: Tokyo Akiba Shop Lets Visitors Sleep (Platonically) With a Woman

You could get a prostitute for less (depending on how long) and get more than just a nap.

Anyway, who (besides me) sleeps 10 hours?

Lest people start going on about "Oh Japan!"...

There are actually people who do this for a living in North America. They do make money.

Personally, I think the Tokyo shop's cost-per-routines bit is better.

Now I have heard it all! Laughing

3 minutes of patting a girl on the head? Probably the oddest thing on the menu. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius.

So where's the add-on option where the girl calls the customer "Onii-chan"? Razz

This is weird; a very Japanese kind of weird. It also seems deeply sad, but it became hilarious as I read the list of services that guests can buy ,"to increase the pleasure of their stay." I certainly understand why the man in the video was wearing what appeared to be a cheap, Chinese knockoff of a Luchador mask.

Lying next to each other for hours on end, giving tokens of affection only at a cost? It's almost like they've created a failed marriage simulator.

How strict are they about this. Do they charge after the fact for an errant pat on the head? If you stare intently into her eyes for a minute and ten seconds, are you charged extra on a pro rata basis? Does she have to change her whole outfit? Could, for example, have her change just her socks for ¥200? Furthermore, the video clearly shows her slapping him, but the article omits the price for that. I can't imagine that they're giving such a valuable service away for free. Will she hit harder if I pay extra?

Curious how there's no listing for paying to have the girl pat the customer on the head in praise.

we have those in US already. Go to las vegas brothels, they you can give you happy ending service too.

For some reason I'm reminded of "Nelly Bleuth" from Arrested Developement...

Anybody who actually uses this "service" needs to be registered as a sex offender.

wish someone would pay me to pat my head, its been a long day....

forever alone!

This is pretty creepy at first blush, but I guess it's technically harmless. More sad than creepy, really. Like Megiddo said, compensated dating is a much bigger concern.

"Customer can pat girl's head in praise". Whuh? Praise for what?

how much do you have to pay for them not to call the police when your hand accidentally wanders away?
