A Wild First Night in Susukino
Seeking (Adult) Adventure

The neon-lit intersection of Susukino. A snapshot of the vibrant nightlife.

I arrived in Susukino, Sapporo’s famous nightlife district, excited and a little nervous. The streets were brimming with energy. Karaoke anthems, glittering neon signs, and every sign promised some kind of excitement. On my first night in Japan, I was ready to jump right in. Searching Sapporo escort services on my smartphone opened a Pandora’s box of possibilities.

Incall, outcall…what kind of call?

After some deliberation (and a beer or two), I decided to try out adult services. I found a website called “Japan Escort.” It prompted me to choose “incall” or “outcall.” It was like choosing between dine-in and takeout. I confidently chose “outcall.”

Expectations vs. Reality

I sprayed on cologne, hid my Pikachu souvenir, and waited like a nervous prom date. My imagination ran wild. Would she show up in cosplay? The reality was far more realistic—and far more entertaining. When my escort (we’ll call her Aiko) arrived, I was relieved to see her cheerful, professional, and incredibly friendly. She bowed and greeted me with a cheerful “Good evening!” I almost offered her tea. My “50 Shades of Sushi” fantasy ended there. We ended up laughing at my poor Japanese and debating whether 2 a.m. ramen is better in Sapporo or Tokyo. In the end, it was more of a quirky cultural exchange than an affair.

A slightly cheeky conclusion

My adventure in the adult playground of Susukino was complete, but not as I’d expected. There were no naughty details to frighten anyone back home, just hilarious memories of trying out a Japanese escort service, getting an impromptu language lesson (and learning the ropes of late-night soup curry), and more. (By the way, I fell asleep alone, smiling.) In a city full of neon and naughty possibilities, the biggest surprise was how unexpectedly wholesome this adventure turned out to be. Who would have thought that seeking a little adult excitement in Sapporo would become one of my favorite travel stories?
