Hello everyone, I’m a Veteran! In Japan, there are hardly any establishments where you can directly choose a lady to meet. While this is common in other countries, it’s not the case in Japan. Instead, in Japanese customs, customers typically select ladies based on their photos. However, there’s a significant risk of being deceived, as there are many cases where the lady in person looks completely different from her photos.
So, to help everyone avoid being deceived when selecting ladies based on photos and profiles, I’m here to introduce how to choose ladies in Japanese customs! The following are experiences of being deceived by photos and tips on how to avoid pitfalls, which will hopefully allow you to enjoy the customs more confidently.
Methods for Judging Ladies from Photos!
Don’t expect too much from photos. The most important thing is to see through malicious photo fraud tactics.
There’s a term in Japanese called “パネマジ (panel magic),” which means “photo deception in customs.” It refers to photos that make the ladies look cute and beautiful, but they turn out to be completely different in person. This term is also used to criticize customs establishments that deceive customers by creating a negative contrast through photos.

However, if you think about it, customs are businesses, and from the establishment’s perspective, presenting ladies as attractive as possible is natural. This isn’t limited to customs; girls in general like to make themselves look prettier in photos. They often use photo editing software like Photoshop to enhance their photos, and customs establishments do the same. So here’s a tip: don’t get too excited when you see photos initially. Imagine that the actual lady is 30% less attractive than in the photo. Thinking this way might surprisingly ease your mind. But the most important thing is to learn to see through “malicious photo fraud tactics.” Below are some methods for identifying them.
Avoid establishments where the backgrounds in the ladies’ photos are inconsistent!
The background in the photos of the ladies is completely different.
Firstly, pay attention not to the ladies themselves but to the “background” of the photos! Even though it’s the same establishment, if the background in the photos of the ladies is completely different, be cautious. This is one of the worst fraud tactics, and the lady who comes to meet you may be completely different from the one in the photo. Why do I say that? Even though it’s the same establishment, if the background in the photos is completely different, it means that the photos might have been simply taken from the internet, or perhaps they’re of ladies from other customs establishments, or even magazine models, etc. Using photos of “other people” directly like this is quite shady, but there are still establishments that do this, so be aware.
Additionally, even if it’s the same background, if there are signs of editing or blurring, it’s best to avoid such establishments! Since these photos are meant to show the appearance of the ladies, there’s no need to deliberately hide the background. This suggests that they may have used photos from other establishments and edited them to remove the logos of those establishments. This is also one of the lousy methods of using others’ photos.
Be cautious of establishments with blank backgrounds in the photos.
On the other hand, if the photos of the ladies are all taken against the same background of the establishment, it’s likely a reputable establishment. Some establishments have the ladies photographed in a studio, while others use a plain background setup directly. However, if the background in the photos is blank or plain, be cautious because such backgrounds can be easily created using photo editing software. Therefore, it’s possible that it’s not an actual studio background but a result of editing.
Common old tactics! Using poses to conceal body shape!
It’s quite common for ladies to use various poses to hide their body shape. For example, ladies with a little bit of fat might arch their bodies or pose sideways to hide their belly fat. There are also poses where they cross their arms to lift their breasts or squeeze their breasts together with both hands, indicating that the lady in the photo may have small breasts. But in the end, these are just little tricks girls use to make themselves look prettier, so let’s forgive them haha.
Column: Many ladies who only have their eyes blurred are actually quite beautiful!?
In most Japanese customs, the faces of the ladies in the photos are blurred, but based on my experience, some ladies only have their eyes blurred. Usually, these ladies are more attractive. For those who value faces more than body shape, remember this little tip.
Judging Ladies from Their Measurements
The measurements provided by customs are just rough estimates.
Measurements refer to bust, waist, and hip sizes, written as B, W, H in English. Most customs establishments also include these measurements in the photos of the ladies, so you can judge their measurements. However, don’t be too careless; the measurements provided by customs are usually just rough estimates and haven’t been accurately measured. They’re simply based on the impression of the ladies, so the measurements in the photos are not the actual numbers but rather rough estimates.
The waist measurement is more important. Pay attention to 60 cm!
Among the measurements, pay attention to the “waist” measurement. If you actually look into it, you’ll find that “many ladies with a waist measurement of 60 cm or above are actually quite overweight.” In Japanese customs, a waist measurement of 60 cm is considered the upper limit. If the waist measurement is above 60 cm, many male customers may not specify that lady. To prevent this situation, regardless of how overweight a lady is, the establishment will usually write her waist measurement as 60 cm. When you see this number, pay attention. For those who prefer a slightly chubby body type, selecting a lady with a waist measurement of 59 cm should be sufficient. Additionally, I’ve hardly seen any ladies with a waist measurement of 61 cm or above. As mentioned earlier, regardless of how much a lady’s waist measurement exceeds 60 cm, the establishment will still claim it’s 60 cm
Column: In fact, the average bust size of ordinary people is generally larger than you imagine!?
Do you know your girlfriend’s waist measurement? Actually, if you measure a girl’s waist, you’ll find that even those with a waist measurement of 65 cm or more look quite slim. The average waist measurement of Japanese people is 69 cm, and even girls with a waist measurement of 70 cm are rarely considered overweight. However, in the world of customs, if a waist measurement of 60 cm is mentioned, it’s very likely the lady is overweight. This should give you an idea of how arbitrary the measurements are in customs, right?
Conclusion
While it’s natural for businesses to package their products well to increase sales, the customs industry goes too far. Many photos or information in profiles are almost entirely different from the ladies themselves. Therefore, be mentally prepared that the actual lady may be 20% to 30% less attractive than in the photos, and pay attention to ladies with a waist measurement of 60 cm or above. By following these two principles, you can usually avoid pitfalls. Even I, a seasoned driver in Japan, have encountered photo fraud before. Customs isn’t a cheap expense, and the moment you enter the room and find that the lady receiving you is completely different from what you expected, it’s nothing but disappointment. Therefore, everyone must refer to the content of this article. I hope everyone won’t step on landmines when enjoying customs!
