Nagoya branch staff, are you telling beginner papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) men that the Marriott is a good meeting spot?????
This content is machine-translated.
Every single time, we meet in the Marriott lobby, only to be made to walk around, and then we have dinner somewhere that isn’t the Marriott. I’m tired of people trying to show off by insisting on meeting at the Marriott.
Why can’t we just meet at the top of the escalators in front of the Gold Clock???? I really don’t understand the point of going all the way to the Marriott lobby.
I’m Fuu, a column writer.
There are so many people in front of the golden clock（笑）
You really attract a lot of attention there, don’t you?
I wonder if the person who asked the question is okay with that.
The Marriott lobby seems like it would attract less attention.
When I’ve received offers in Nagoya, the staff have never suggested meeting at the Marriott or anything like that.
I usually meet at the restaurant where we’ll be dining.
Since it can’t really be helped the first time, maybe you could say, “From the second meeting onward, would it be okay to meet directly at the restaurant?”

I’ve used the lobby at the Hilton Nagoya many times.
When I dine at the Marriott, we just meet at the Marriott restaurant. There’s no need to specifically designate the lobby.

Around Osaka-Umeda, the Hilton or in front of Don Quijote are the obvious meeting spots everyone knows.
If you want somewhere close to the station, then the Hilton.
I guess that’s what people mean… It’s supposed to be a club, after all… I’d never think of eating there. For the reasons Joe already mentioned.

It’s Joe here.
I’m not familiar with the Nagoya scene at all, but I don’t think the papas are trying to show off. The Marriott is easy to get to and easy to find, so they’re probably choosing it with the women’s convenience in mind. They may avoid dining at the hotel because it’s expensive, but perhaps also because the food isn’t very good. Hotel restaurants are generally overpriced for what you get. Please forgive them!
If Joe were to offer to meet a Nagoya woman, I’d probably still arrange to meet at the Marriott, but we’d dine at Niidome. It’s just hard to get a reservation before making the offer.

I’m Dai, a male member.
We’ve had this question before, haven’t we?
I don’t think the staff told you that meeting at the Marriott would be best.
At least, I’ve never heard them say that.
And I don’t think that man was trying to show off, either.
It’s simply meant to make the meeting point easy to find, so why not just put up with that much?
Personally, I don’t meet people in the Marriott lobby, though…
