Chinese hooker club busted in Shibuya

TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Tuesday arrested the manager and three employees of a club in the Shibuya entertainment area for violating the Anti-Prostitution Law, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Jan. 27).

Officers from the peace preservation division took club manager Hiraki Sasaki, 63, into custody for offering customers sexual services from Chinese women inside a one-room apartment split into four sections by curtains.

TV Asahi reports that Sasaki has denied the allegations. “This is not prostitution,” said the suspect, who relied on a 29-year-old street tout to solicit customers.

According to police, since last February, the club has generated revenue of approximately 30 million yen.

At the time of the arrests, Chinese women were seen inside the apartment keeping company with male customers. The club is located in the Dogenzaka area of Shibuya.
