Back in October 2012, while studying in Fukuoka, we took a trip down to Kagoshima for a long weekend. The area was gorgeous, especially the great views of the sea from the “Herushi Lando” (i.e. Healthy Land in Japanese) stunning hot spring… What a treat it was to bathe in that hot spring!
Kagoshima was surprisingly animated and the two nights out we had were good fun! A lot of “salary men” on the street, gone for a few drinks after work… and obviously where there are lots of “salary men” there are hostesses… Hostess clubs are quite a strange cultural aspect of Japan, but I guess many countries have their equivalent of an hostess club. However, the concept of host club (a host is the male version of hostess) is quite weird and the definition of a sexy man in Japan is … not mine.
