And, this is true, to an extent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s true that it\u2019s the most \u2018dangerous\u2019 part of Tokyo, this <strong>doesn\u2019t mean <\/strong>that Kabukicho is an area full of crime that takes place on a daily.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tokyo is in fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/wanna-travel-safe-worlds-20-safest-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>safest city in the world<\/strong><\/a>, claimed by many travel blogs and companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the most dangerous area in Tokyo is actually<strong> a lot safer<\/strong> than most places <strong>around the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, although Kabukicho can be a fairly dangerous area, that <strong>doesn\u2019t <\/strong>mean you will run into trouble on your visit. Kabikucho may very well be much safer than where you live!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it is still <strong>very important<\/strong> to take caution, as with <em>any <\/em>new area that you visit. Kabukicho has many host\/hostess clubs, rip-off restaurants and bars, prostitution and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/yakuza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Yakuza<\/a>(Japanese Mafia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, if you\u2019ve ever played the famous <strong>critically acclaimed<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yakuza.sega.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Yakuza game series<\/a>, then Kabukicho will look <strong>very similar<\/strong> to the Kamurocho district in the game. The developers had actually recreated a fictional version of Kabukicho as the setting for the series, and to say it fits well would be an understatement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the district is very expertly recreated, there are still some differences. You <strong>do not<\/strong> need to worry about thugs and Yakuza members waiting around every corner on your visit to Kabukicho, thank god!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/kabukicho-the-ultimate-guide\/\">guide that covers everything about Kabukicho<\/a>, check out this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_99d369-d3\"><strong>How To Stay Safe When Visiting Kabukicho<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As spoken about already, there are some <strong>safety precautions<\/strong> that you definitely want to take when visiting Tokyo\u2019s red-light district. Ensuring that you are safe should <strong><em>always <\/em><\/strong>be the very first priority for any tourist or visitor. I\u2019ve done some thorough research about the dangers of Kabukicho and how you can avoid them. The list below is the perfect guide to staying safe when visiting the area. <strong>It is extremely important to follow this list of tips very closely if you are going to Kabukicho!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/s864828342.websitehome.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KabukichoSafe.jpg\" alt=\"Is Kabukicho Safe??\" class=\"wp-image-2953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KabukichoSafe.jpg 337w, https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KabukichoSafe-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_01b0a7-d2\"><strong>Don\u2019t Visit Too Late In The Evening<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with anywhere else that you are visiting for the first time, avoiding going late at night should be your <strong>first <\/strong>obvious <strong>safety measure<\/strong>. Although Kabikucho is known as the <strong>night district<\/strong>, I would highly avoid going after midnight hours, <strong><em>especially <\/em><\/strong>if it\u2019s your first time going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that the whole point of visiting Kabukicho is to witness the <strong>vivid neon lights<\/strong> light up the roads and pavements. You can still check out the district at night, just either make sure you visit <strong>earlier<\/strong>, or that you go with a <strong>large group<\/strong> of people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are visiting the area <strong>solo <\/strong>then you should visit around <strong>6 pm-11 pm<\/strong>, depending on the time of year and how early it gets dark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a larger group of you going, I would recommend 4 at least, then you would <strong>most likely<\/strong> be fine leaving at whatever time you please. I am not by any means saying that just because you have a larger group, you won\u2019t face any trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can <strong>still be risky<\/strong> staying in the area during the early hours of the morning, as this is when most crimes occur.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_781519-c9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_781519-c9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_781519-c9\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_781519-c9 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_781519-c9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_781519-c9\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading2949_781519-c9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_781519-c9\"><strong>Avoid Restaurants &amp; Bars With Active Promoters Outside<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This precaution may seem <strong><em>strange<\/em><\/strong>. If you have visited any country in Europe, or in the world for that matter; then you will know that bar &amp; restaurant promoters are extremely common.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not aware of what these are, to put it simply, they are just employees that pull people up on the street to persuade them to have a drink or a meal at their establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the harm in that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in most places, there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with it! However, in Kabukicho it is very well known for these touts to draw people into sketchy and untrustworthy establishments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be told one price by the tout, and then as you ask for the bill, you suddenly receive many <strong>hidden charges<\/strong> that you had absolutely <strong>no idea<\/strong> about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to be clear, this is <strong>NOT <\/strong>the type of neighbourhood that you want to start arguments or disagree with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid this whole situation <strong><em>completely, <\/em><\/strong>by politely turning down the promoters and just sticking to the bars that appear popular and trustworthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular restaurants &amp; bars in the area such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/shinjuku-robot.com\/sp\/\"><strong>Robot Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>, sometimes have promoters outside, but due to the popularity, you can rest assured that these are legit businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attractions-g14133667-Activities-c20-t99-Kabukicho_Shinjuku_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html\"><strong>Click Here To Check Out The Best &amp; Safest Bars &amp; Clubs In Kabukicho<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurants-g14133667-Kabukicho_Shinjuku_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html\"><strong>Click Here To Check Out The Restaurants in Kabukicho<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_fd7b73-54\"><strong>Don\u2019t Become Overly Intoxicated<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one should be pretty obvious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting any area and proceeding to become intoxicated can be dangerous for many reasons. Especially when it is somewhere you\u2019ve never been before\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I understand that spending time in an area full of bars, clubs and restaurants can make it quite tempting to drink.

The bars in Golden Gai are <strong>tiny <\/strong>and <strong>only sit around 8 people<\/strong> in each, so this explains why a small number of them don\u2019t allow newcomers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So as mentioned before, I think <strong>you <em>should<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em>definitely check out Golden Gai, but just take a <strong>little more care<\/strong> and make sure you are alert <strong>at all times<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_b99740-02, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_b99740-02[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_b99740-02\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_b99740-02 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2949_b99740-02[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_b99740-02\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading2949_b99740-02 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2949_b99740-02\"><strong>Should You Visit Kabukicho?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>100%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This district is exactly what makes Japanese nightlife what it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buildings surrounded by neon lights, the never sleeping pavements full of people, the unique bars and restaurants that you couldn\u2019t find anywhere else; are all reasons you <strong>shouldn\u2019t hold back<\/strong> on <strong>visiting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are a fan of gaming, Japanese lifestyle or anime, Kabikucho holds pretty good inspiration for all of these.
