Real field reports and columns on Japan's adult-entertainment world
Field Diary
The name 'Hybrid' had been nagging at me. Was it some mix of in-shop health and delivery health, or did it mean something else? On a July night in Nishikawaguchi, I checked my answer.

Cosplay-themed shops carry a heavy 'for otaku only' reputation. I'm not a hardcore otaku, and when I tried the Cosplay Gakuen in Nishikawaguchi, I found that reputation was half right and half wrong.
Nishikawaguchi field reports — Kawaguchi, Saitama, an easy hop from Tokyo. Mostly delivery health, at a discount.
Delivery health about ¥10,000–20,000 for 60 minutes — noticeably cheaper than Tokyo, with quality shops in the mix.
JR Keihin-Tohoku line to Nishikawaguchi — about 20 minutes from Ikebukuro, 10 from Akabane.
