Hokkaido has not only heavy snow, but also the warmth of red-light district sex shops

Susukino is located in the bustling area of ​​the central district of Sapporo, Hokkaido. It is the leading red-light district in Sapporo and even in the whole of Hokkaido. Every year, it attracts a large number of tourists from home and abroad to visit and consume.

A few days ago, a strong earthquake of about 6 magnitude occurred in Hokkaido. This earthquake caused most areas in the entire Hokkaido region to face the crisis of power outage and water shortage.

Since the epicenter is not far from Sapporo, this central city of Hokkaido has also suffered varying degrees of impact. Many foreign tourists who come to Hokkaido for tourism generally book hotels in Sapporo. Through Sapporo's convenient transportation, their travel routes can extend to nearby rural areas. It can be said that a large part of Sapporo's tourism industry income is due to foreign tourists.

However, after the magnitude 6 earthquake, many tourists who had booked hotels in advance canceled their reservations. On the one hand, tourists were worried that future aftershocks would bring more unsafe factors, and on the other hand, many hotels and restaurants were closed due to the earthquake. After all, personal safety is the first priority.

In such a background setting, there are still some commendable companies in Sapporo that have stepped forward to provide convenient services.

One of the stores has recently been all over the major SNS on the Japanese Internet.

On September 6, when the earthquake occurred, a sex shop in Susukino, Sapporo's red-light district, posted an announcement on Twitter: Our store has begun to provide public bath services.

The Warmth of Sex Customs Shop

The sex shop temporarily opened bathing facilities for those who had difficulty bathing due to the earthquake. This can be said to be a very humane and adaptable measure.

Due to the power outage, many electrical equipment in the store were unable to operate. In addition, almost all the employees in the store were female, and they returned home early because they were afraid that their families would worry.

Therefore, the entire store was out of operation. This store has 8 bathrooms, shampoo, towels and other utensils are all complete, and gas and sewerage are operating normally, so they simply use this time to open the facilities in the store to those who need help.



Red Light District Price List

In Japan, the sex industry is generally related to the underworld, and its reputation in society is not very good. According to the store manager, in this critical moment, even if there is a little help, we want to help. In terms of price, only a symbolic water and gas fee is charged.

In addition to the sex shop, a barbecue restaurant in the central district is also not idle.

Restaurants must have a large reserve of ingredients, especially barbecue restaurants, which have a rich reserve of meat. After the power outage, a large amount of barbecue ingredients in the refrigerator will face the risk of deterioration. So the store manager made up his mind, instead of throwing it away, it is better to make full use of it and use it to entertain those in need.
