Saitama might well have a reputation as a boring suburb of Tokyo but some places aren’t as dull as they sound.
Japan might also be a nation with 25% older population but the seniors can’t be accused of being anything but active.
One man was recently arrested for being a little too vigorous, in fact. 64-year-old Yoshio Shimazaki of Utsunomiya in Tochigi had some urges and knew where to do go to sort it out. He went to Saitama.
In November 2011 at a love hotel in Kawaguchi City he gave a female high school student ¥20,000 and then had her perform bondage play with him. At the time the girl was a mere 16.
He got to know the girl through a BDSM internet site and met her over a year at hotels for bondage sessions.
But something went wrong or the girl got bored. They stopped meeting and Shimazaki’s mails grew more urgent. “Master, I want to meet you!” After receiving lots of these mails the girl finally got annoyed and went to the police.
Shimazaki was arrested on charges of child prostitution and committing indecent acts. He acknowledges the charges with the simple excuse of “I was turned on.”
