Tokyo’s Akihabara, or ‘Akiba’, is known for being a hub of otaku culture, famous for its electronic stores, game centres, and maid cafes, among other things.
A lesser-known type of cafe in Akiba is the ‘cuddle cafe’, or ‘soineya’ [literally ‘shared-sleep shop’], where lonely men, and sometimes women, can go and sleep with a partner of their choice. The experience is strictly non-sexual, more to do with human contact than sexual contact. Now one Akihabara cuddle cafe, also called ‘Soneiya’ has introduced a service where a man can rest his head on a girl’s ass for a mere 1,000 yen per minute. Netizens have their own opinions about the service, but what do you think? Bargain booty? Or rip-off rear?

コーニッシュレック(やわらか銀行)：
So expensive
キジ白(宮城県)：
All I can say is why don’t these guys just accept things and go to a sex worker.
マンチカン(芋)：
I wonder if they have a farting service?
ヒョウ(神奈川県)：
Do they have a face-down version?
イリオモテヤマネコ(dion軍)：
What about a boob pillow?
マンチカン(四国地方)：
1000 yen per minute? That’s more expensive that a high-class soapland. Even rip-off bars don’t rip you off that much wwwwwwwwwww.
白黒(東京都)：
If you’re spending that kind of money then go to a brothel, sleep in a bed, get wanked off while kissing with tongues.
マンチカン(庭)：
Right, I’m setting up a gay version.
サイベリアン(東京都)：
Though I think I’m an idiot, I reckon I’d pay for this w
オリエンタル(関東・甲信越)：
I mean, is the girl in the picture getting a wage for this? Die.
ぬこ(catv?)：
Doesn’t this involve the
fueiho? [You can see more about the fueiho law here].
サイベリアン(東京都)：
So, this means that sales in this shop are 1000 yen a minute? The shop will take a cut, and if you think that there will also be times when there are no customers, then the hourly wage is at the most probably the same as hostesses in that area
シャルトリュー(関西・東海)：
Enkō is cheaper.
トラ(山口県)：
If you think that for 1000 yen you can caress a young girl’s ass, then it’s cheap. Just smell and caress and get your minute’s worth.
ハバナブラウン(dion軍)：
This half-way stuff is the kind of thing that develops into a crime.
エジプシャン・マウ(やわらか銀行)：
Just get your girlfriend to do it for free wwwww
カナダオオヤマネコ(大阪府)：
How much is a crotch pillow?
アビシニアン(大阪府)：
If you pay 720,000 yen ($8204) then will they let you stay there for 12 hours? Maybe I’ll go there now.
サイベリアン(東京都)：
Designated fees, the options, and the system are exactly like the sex industry.
コラット(茸)：
This is an excellent business.
アメリカンショートヘア(大阪府)：
It’s stupid.
縞三毛(岩手県)：
Just go to an image club [a club where the sex workers will dress/act according to common male fantasies, ie nurse, schoolgirl, etc. in themed rooms]
ジャガランディ(中国地方)：
I think that you’d be soothed more if you paid the money to a cat cafe rather than this.
ジャングルキャット(関東・甲信越)：
If this made you horny you’d be done for.
ボブキャット(東京都)：
If I was told something was 1000 yen per minute then I reckon I’d think it was way expensive, but if I think of it as being able to fondle a young girl’s ass as much as I want in one minute for 1000 yen, then it’s actually a very cheap price.
ウンピョウ(東日本)：[in response to above]
Umm, I don’t think it means you can touch their asses as much as you want.
ツシマヤマネコ(茸)：
I laughed my ass off at the picture on the left, where the woman’s expression is one of obvious disgust w
コドコド(栃木県)：
If you’re lying like that you’ll be badly balanced and your neck will start to hurt. You’d have to go between her legs, and put your head along her ass crack.
バリニーズ(大阪府)：
Looks stinky.
シャルトリュー(神奈川県)：
One minute ass monopoly! But I guess that if you did anything sexual you’d be banned from the shop. You’d just be discontent.
シャルトリュー(神奈川県)：
If my girlfriend sold her ass in such a place I’d cry.
カナダオオヤマネコ(千葉県)：
They can make a lot of money from this, so they’ll have high hopes for a marriage partner.
ユキヒョウ(やわらか銀行)：
At least do it through panties or with stockings, not with pajamas!
マンチカン(東京都)：
Sicko otakus love this kind of stuff ～and then they’ll really fall hard for the girls. That’s how it goes.
オセロット(愛知県)：
What kind of level of woman do they line up to make this kind of business…
スミロドン(神奈川県)：
It’s cheaper to call a deriheru service to your house.
ボンベイ(愛媛県)：
If for an additional 500 yen they’d do a farting service, then hell, I’d go every day.
