# Tobita Shinchi

This is Japan's largest red-light district outside Tokyo, where ladies pose at genkan entrances Amsterdam-style to attract clientele, accompanied by an older woman (called a yarite-baba or mama-san) who serves as the pimp and collects money from customers.

## Why go

However, this place is arguably more interesting to walk through than its Amsterdam counterpart, and most of the brothels operate out historic buildings dating back to the Taisho era (1912-1926), giving visitors a rare glimpse into what Japanese red-light districts looked like before the prostitution ban came into effect in 1958.
