The Over-60 "Chon-no-ma" Lady!
This is a story about my experience accompanying a travel tour for work, visiting Beppu in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu.
By the way, Beppu is renowned for its abundance of natural hot springs, boasting over 2,000 of them.
Aside from nutrient-rich hot springs, Beppu also offers unique experiences like mud and sand baths. The "Jigoku Meguri," or Hell Tour, is a popular attraction, showcasing the diverse and dramatic hot spring sources in the area.
The hot spring sources in Beppu have been given captivating names such as "Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell)," "Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk Stone Hell)," "Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Stove Hell)," "Oniyama Jigoku (Mountain Hell)," "Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell)," "Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell)," and "Tatsumaki Jigoku" (Tornado Hell). These names create a fascinating and memorable sightseeing journey.
The Secret Brothel: "Chon-no-Ma”
Well, well, the nights in Beppu sure are busy.
This is because a male customer I became friendly with during the day really wanted to go to a Japanese "Chon-no-Ma" (a type of brothel), and he asked me to take him there.
After dinner, when we had some free time starting from 8 p.m., the two of us met at the entrance and set out to explore the night.
Since I had done some research during the day, we decided to walk towards the red-light district first.
Upon arriving, we saw various signs for sex establishments.
I was impressed, as expected of Beppu.
There was a free "annai jo" (introduction/guidance place) visible from the public road, and there also seemed to be soaplands and health (sexual services) places.
This town still strongly retains its Showa-era ambiance. It must be a comfortable place for those who like a nostalgic atmosphere, and it surely looks fresh to today's city kids.
Well, well, as we were walking from Shingu Street into Ume Garden Street, there was an old woman standing there.
(This old woman's clothes are flashy. Should I just pass by...)
As I hesitated, thinking this, that moment...
Suddenly, the old woman spoke to us.
"Are you gentlemen looking for something?"
"Huh?"
"How about a girl?"
For a moment, I thought about ignoring her, but my companion stopped and listened.
The old woman tempted us with sweet words.
"How about a young, cute girl? I'll give you a discount."
"Huh? How much is it?"
"8,000 JPY for 20 minutes, 10,000 JPY for 30 minutes."
My companion and I looked at each other and whispered.
(What should we do? Should we give it a try? It's probably a "Chon-no-Ma"...)
And so, we said
"Then, we'll take the 20-minute course, please."
"All right. Follow me, then..."
We were led as she said, and we followed the old woman.
By the way, this 80-year-old woman used to run a soapland, but now she works as a tourist guide.
Along the way, we passed through a suspicious-looking neighborhood.
There were sleazy signs everywhere, indicating that this path was not a typical tourist route.
After walking for a while, we were guided to a "business ryokan inn" behind the Takegawara Onsen.
(So this is the secret sex establishment in Beppu...)
Takegawara Onsen is one of the "Beppu Hatto," and it's a historic building completed in 1938. It seems that it has now been certified as a modern industrial heritage site.
It's a wonderful onsen with a long history, but there are many sex establishments around the Ryokan, and the shady neon lights shine brightly. It's not the kind of place where families or couples can relax and stay.
Stepping into the Ryokan at Last
I stepped into a dubious business inn, quietly standing in an alley that only locals would know about.
After paying an elderly woman, presumably the owner's mother, I was led to a waiting room.
After a while, my male companion was called first.
He was instructed to go to Room 4 on the second floor and started climbing the stairs.
Then it was my turn.
(I hope it's a young and cute girl...)
As I was thinking this, the receptionist called out to me.
"Yes, please go up to Room 3 on the second floor and wait there."
"Understood," I replied, and immediately headed upstairs.
(3... Ah, here it is)
There were a total of six rooms on the second floor. When I entered Room 3, I found that the futons had already been laid out.
The room was dimly lit, with a damp atmosphere and a slight musty smell.
An orange lamp cast a soft glow over the entire room, creating a unique ambiance, but the space was quite narrow.
It was probably only about 3-tatami mats in size.
As I considered sitting down to wait, I heard a knock on the door, which then opened to reveal a woman.
She was an older woman in her 60s
"Good evening~" she greeted me.
I was stunned and probably had my mouth hanging open.
Because standing before me was undoubtedly a woman in her 60s.
"W-well... hello," I managed to stammer.
(What?! I thought they were supposed to introduce me to a young and cute girl?!)
The woman, sensing my hesitation, said, "We don't have much time," and directed me to lie down on the futon. Before I knew it, she had even taken off my pants.
My manhood was wiped with a wet tissue, stimulated to erection by hand, and then covered with a condom. She then proceeded to perform oral stimulation.
(I can't possibly get excited by a woman this old,) I thought to myself, but my body betrayed me as I became fully erect.
Resigning myself to the situation, I closed my eyes and imagined my favorite actress.
The woman assumed a riding position and straddled me.
(I'm with that actress right now...) I told myself, and somehow, I managed to reach completion.
The feeling of being wiped with a wet tissue afterward was utterly hollow.
When I asked about her age, she replied, "Somewhere between 40 and 50," but she was clearly well into her 60s.
Conclusion
In the countryside, "Chon-no-Ma" still exist.
But unlike Tobita Shinchi, you won't find young and attractive women there.
It was a learning experience, to say the least.
My friend's encounter was with a woman in her 50s, and it ended with manual stimulation as well.
Having stepped out, we were still in the mood for younger company, so we headed straight to a soapland in the vicinity.
