Kobe in the rain has an air all its own. It's one of Kansai's premier nightlife districts, centered on Motomachi and Sannomiya. I folded up my umbrella, stepped into the hotel lobby, and called Princess Himeji-ten.
The 90-minute course, ¥15,999. Right inside the budget I'd set for the night. Dispatch area: Hyogo, departing from the Himeji area; open 14:00 to 3:00.
When the 90 Minutes End
I could tell the end was getting close because she started slowing the pace down gradually. Not a sudden "well then," but a natural drift into a stretch of afterglow. Few girls can pull off this kind of "designed ending." Most of the time the end comes abruptly, and more often than not that's the disappointing part.
The cleanup time was natural, too. She didn't rush me. Once I started to move, she fell in step naturally and helped me get ready. The quality of a person's work shows up in this "how they move at the end," too.
Her parting words stuck with me. "If you ever get the chance to come back to Kobe, please do" — a stock line, but the delivery wasn't stock. She said it after a slight pause, and the pause was natural. After nineteen years, I can tell whether the urge to say "please come again" is real. Tonight it was close to real.
While I was putting my shoes on, she didn't say anything unnecessary. The "quiet" in the stretch before the elevator arrived felt good. She didn't try to fill it more than it needed. This "grace in stepping back" is one more gauge of a girl's quality.
I walked a bit after stepping outside, then stopped. The Kobe night was still moving. My head was quiet. The 90 minutes at Princess Himeji-ten tonight — I could honestly call it a good night. The ¥15,999 includes this quiet afterglow in the price.
On the Setup
A delivery health (deriheru) experience is directly affected by the quality of the setup. The hotel room Princess Himeji-ten arranged was better than passing grade on cleanliness. The bed size, the state of the bathroom, the room temperature — when those are in order, you can focus on the service itself.
About the Girl Who Came
As a Kobe delivery health booking, ¥15,999 for 90 minutes. When the girl arrived, the first thing she did was check the room. People who are used to hotel health (hoteheru) often map out the room's flow before they start moving.
The fact that this checking step happens at all is the sign of someone who's "done it many times."
About Princess Himeji-ten
Dispatch area: Hyogo, departing from the Himeji area; open 14:00 to 3:00. From the hotel directions to the girl's arrival, the flow was smooth. Having both the setup and the girl's quality lined up is harder than you'd think, and a shop that pulls it off is worth repeating.
