About Tokyo

Sometimes I wonder—what’s it like inside their heads? The workers, I mean. Gotta be tough, but maybe fun too? Prolly both. Exaggeratin here, but I’d bet one’s secretly a ninja—kickin rude clients out with style! Ha! Anyway, brothels ain’t just sex—they’re stories, messy and real. It’s showtime, baby—dive in or don’t, your call!

Lisa Ling explores what it’s like to work at a place where prostitution is legal. “This is Life” airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Next stop, the Ube Art Museum. I’m an archivist, so art is kinda my jam. I thought I’d get lost in some paintings, you know? But nooo, there was a school trip. Like, a million kids running around, screaming. I swear, I almost lost it. I mean, can’t a person enjoy some art in peace? But then, I saw this kid staring at a painting of a mountain. He looked so mesmerized. It was kinda cute, not gonna lie. Made me smile, even with all the chaos.
