¥16,000 for a delivery health in Saitama. Whether that's high or low depends on what you compare it to. I've been in this world 14 years, so I have a decent feel for the going rates by region and by service type. I chose Kindan no Tsumatachi because I figured the "balance of price and expectation" lined up.
Asahikawa area, open 9:00–03:00, the 70-minute course. At ¥16,000 on those terms, it's worth a try.
On using a delivery health on a work trip
This was my third work trip to Saitama. On the first I didn't have the bandwidth to even think about adult entertainment, but from the second I started thinking about "how to use the nights on a work trip." This is a skill I'd say a 36-year-old picked up over a 14-year career.
When you pick a delivery health (deriheru) on a work trip, what matters is "how to judge with no feel for the place." In an area you use regularly, you've got experience and accumulated intel. In a first-time area, you don't. So the phone reception becomes the only thing to judge by. When I called Kindan no Tsumatachi, the courtesy of the desk told me "this won't miss."
When the girl arrived, I confirmed that read was right. A shop with this high a "phone-to-reality" match rate is proof of solid management. The photo, the phone description, the girl who actually shows up — when that chain is consistent, the shop is trustworthy.
The Saitama girl had a slightly different air than ones in the city. The Saitama area. I think this region's culture rubs off on the vibe of the people who work here. No rushing. There's room to breathe. Feeling that "local character" in your body is one of the reasons I use a delivery health on a work trip.
70 minutes, ¥16,000. I log it as an investment in myself, separate from travel expenses. Self-management so I don't carry the day's fatigue into the next — maybe that's putting on airs a bit, but half of that feeling is real. As a Saitama experience, tonight was worth recording.
About the town of Saitama
The Saitama area. This wasn't my first time coming to a delivery health in this town, but it was my first time choosing Kindan no Tsumatachi.
Each region has a different "customer atmosphere." In Saitama's case, the delivery health clientele feels relatively calm, and the service side seems to tune its hospitality to match.
The experience at Kindan no Tsumatachi
I called Kindan no Tsumatachi and picked the 70-minute course. ¥16,000. The wait until the girl arrived was within expectation, and she showed up on time.
That "on time" is, in this business, one index of trust.
Price and the feel of the area
As a Saitama-area delivery health, ¥16,000 felt fair. Value compared to the city center, service quality compared to the provinces — Saitama is, I think, a region where that balance holds.
