That night I had no particular urge to do anything. I was lying in the hotel room staring at the ceiling, and something pulled me to call out into the Kyoto small hours. Puru Puru Office Diva — I'd known the name for a while, but this was my first time using it.
I picked the 50-minute course for ¥6,000. Puru Puru Office Diva runs 9:00–23:59, so it has the late-night demand well covered. Behind the old capital's face, there's a night all its own around Kiyamachi and Gion.
When the 50 Minutes End
You could tell the end was near because the girl slowly began easing off the pace. Not an abrupt "all right then," but a natural drift into the afterglow. Few girls can pull off that kind of "designed ending." In most cases the end comes out of nowhere. More often than not, that's the disappointing part.
The cleanup time felt natural too. The girl didn't rush me. Once I started to move, she fell in step naturally and helped me get ready. That "how a girl carries herself at the close" also reveals the quality of her work.
The parting words stuck with me. "If you ever get the chance to come back to Kyoto, please do" — a stock line, but the delivery wasn't stock. She left a small pause before saying it, and that pause felt natural. Whether the wish behind "please come again" is real, I've learned to tell over 18 years. Tonight was close to real.
While I was putting my shoes on, the girl didn't say anything unnecessary. The "quiet" of the wait until the elevator came was comfortable. She didn't try to fill it more than needed. That "grace in knowing when to step back" is another gauge of a girl's quality.
After I stepped outside, I walked a bit and then stopped. The Kyoto night was still moving. My head was quiet. Tonight's 50 minutes at Puru Puru Office Diva — I could honestly call it a good night. ¥6,000 is a price that includes this quiet afterglow.
On the Facilities
A health experience is directly affected by the quality of the facilities. The hotel room Puru Puru Office Diva had set up was above passing on cleanliness. Bed size, condition of the bathroom, room temperature — when these are in order, you can focus on the service itself.
About the Girl Who Came
As Kyoto health, ¥6,000 for 50 minutes. When the girl arrived, the first thing she did was check the room. People used to hotel health (hoteheru) tend to get a read on the room's layout before they make a move.
The fact that she did that check at all is the sign of "someone who's done this many times."
About Puru Puru Office Diva
The Gion / Kiyomizu-dera / Higashiyama area, open 9:00–23:59. From the directions to the hotel to the girl's arrival, the flow was smooth. Having both the facilities and the quality of the girl come together is harder than you'd think, and a shop that manages it is worth repeating.
