Tokyo Hostess Shares Experiences - 05-09-2007, 02:21 PM

Former hostess recalls a year spent hostessing at Roppongi club

Before arriving I did a quick Web search for "Tokyo hostess" to find out what the job entailed. Undaunted, I set off for Tokyo with the phone number of a hostess who had been living it up in Roppongi for eight years tucked in my pocket.

I saw a show about that on the AZN TV, and it's not somewhere I want to work for the rest of my life. The ladies seeem disrespected and from what I've read they are definatly overworked . Easy money always comes with a price!

Skanktastic! That's all I have to say about hostess clubs. Not exactly Japan's proudest cultural achievement.
