Yakuza Headquarters.
I always try to alternate the routes I take to work.
One morning I was walking by this building and at first thought it was a limousene service because of the fleet of black cars outside.
But why all the cameras? The place is set up like a fortress, with those cameras covering every possible approach from the ground.
A "casual" glance through the open main door revealed an almost lifesize portrait of some long-dead Japanese guy in traditional wear.
The second floor seemed to be apartments.
I thought I was jumping to conclusions until I took a closer look at the younger guys washing the cars and noticed that they were all sporting oldschool yak tattoos, barely visible under their coveralls..

Dio Dildo.
Shin-Yokohama新横浜 has a Shinkansen station. As a result, there're many salarymen overnighting in the area at times for various conferences.
Salarymen need to be entertained, so there's a proliferation of pachinko, hostesses and, of cousre, love hotels.

I was passing through an area of especially high love-hotel density when I spied this, disposed of in some unfortunate person's moped basket..complete with unbelievably long, straggly pube still stuck on the tip. No doubt it was purchased,used once, then disposed of by a cautious salaryman before returning home to his family.
