I’d be confused too if I was holed up in a strip club and 10 non-stripper (and foreign!) girls just walked in. I guess that would be a pretty unusual occurrence…

I wish there had been more to this place to shoot, really only a few angles were left. Though the mosquitoes were so bad maybe just a few angles was best…

Back in the 90s (blurry) I went to a “regular” strip joint in Tokyo. It had a few foreigners in it. Was quite big. Though when I and 10 other foreign girls walked in everyone looked pretty confused and we were the main focus. Even the lone dancer was staring at us. This ruin is incredible. So nowhere.

Some nice atmospheric shots in this set, I like the 3rd from the top the most because it has interesting lighting.

Do you bring bug spray to all haikyo now? I wonder what they eat when they don’t have hobbit (people) to feast on?

There are two Rockza strip clubs in Tokyo, apparently they are pretty big and successful; Shinjuku and Asakusa in case you are interested. I’ve never been myself.

You’ll also find some hostess bar have a topless show — One Eyed Jacks, for instance.

Who had the great idea of building a strip club in the middle of nowhere?

I didn’t think there were any strip clubs in Japan (except maybe near some of the American military bases).

Oh, excellent! Glad to see that this is still standing. It piqued my interest when I read about it. Doesn’t look like a particularly breathtaking haikyo, but, like you say, the novelty value renders it worth a look.

Looking forward to the Marriage Hall pics – another one on my ever-growing list. So many haikyo, so few days off!

Dang – and not even a single G string left for a haikyoist. What a shame, Mikey!

I can see why it failed though – those mosquitos would wreak havoc on naked flesh.
