Arrested at a Pinsaro in Ueno!?

This is a story about my friend Tatsuya almost getting arrested by the police at a pinsaro (a type of sex parlor in Japan).

Tatsuya is a big fan of sexual services, especially pinsaros.

The reason, he says, is that they are cheap and quick, and he can easily "get serviced" and "be satisfied."

Even at a place without shower facilities, he doesn't seem to mind having his private parts wiped with a wet towel or wet tissue.

By the way, pinsaro is short for pink salon, a type of sex parlor where women provide services such as fellatio.

At the usual pinsaro in Ueno

One day, at a drinking party, Tatsuya told me about what happened.

"I was so lucky," he said.

"Huh? What happened? What's wrong?"

"Well, the other day I went to a pinsaro in Ueno..."

"Oh, a pinsaro, nice!"

"Haha, yeah."

"So, as usual, I requested Maria-chan, and paid 3,000 JPY at the reception."

"Is the girl you're nominating called Maria?"

"Yeah, she's cute, 20 years old, and her service is perfect."

"Wow, nice."

"I know, right? So, I finished the alcohol disinfection, temperature check, and gargling, and was guided to the floor."

"I see..."

"There were about eight box seats on the floor, four on the right and four on the left. I was guided to the very back seat on the left."

"I see."

"There were already two groups of customers on the right, receiving services."

"I see."

"Then, after a while, Maria-chan came and we started chatting."

"Uh-huh."

"Suddenly, a loud voice shouted, 'Don't move!' and about five or six men entered the shop."

"Huh? What?"

"They started taking pictures of everything."

"Pictures? Of the customers and women too?"

"Yeah, like, 'Don't move there!' and they were snapping photos."

"Wow... So, who were those people...?"

"Then, one of them came to my seat, took a picture, and then took out a police badge from his pocket."

"So, they were cops."

"Yes, I was surprised."

"Was there some problem at the shop?"

Two groups arrested for public indecency

"Yeah, that's what happened. I also found out at that time that there were no partitions between the customer seats in this shop."

"Partitions?"

"Yeah, there were no curtains or walls separating the customer seats."

"I see. So, you were seen by others and accused of 'public indecency', right?"

"That's what it seemed like. The detective asked me a lot of questions, like where I came from and if I often visited this shop."

"That must've been tough. Were you not arrested?"

"No, I was still chatting and had my pants on, so I was let go soon after."

"That's good."

"But the two groups who were in the middle of the play with their lower bodies exposed were taken away in a patrol car, so I assume they were arrested on the spot."

"Ugh, that's the worst."

"Yeah, I was really lucky. If I had been exposed, I might've been arrested too."

"Hearing this story, I'm too scared to go to a pinsaro now!"

"I know, right? It's scary."

"Yeah, me too, I won't go anymore."

"In the end, after the detective's questions were over, I was let go without any punishment. At the exit, a staff member returned my 3,000 JPY, saying, 'We're returning your money from earlier.'"

"That must've been a frightening experience."

"Yeah, from now on, I'm not going to pinsaros without partitions...”

"I guess not..."

Conclusion

Being caught for public indecency can result in punishment, including imprisonment for up to six months, a fine of up to 300,000 JPY, or detention. Be cautious.

If you do go to a pinsaro, make sure to choose one with proper partitions. If you insist on going to one without partitions, you must be prepared to take the risk of being arrested by the police.
