[4K] Wandering The Dodgy Alleys Of Kabukicho, Tokyo (歌舞伎町、東京) – September 2021

Walking in an area considered most dangerous in all of Tokyo – Kabuki-cho, trying not to get scammed along the way.

Kabuki-chō (歌舞伎町) is an entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Kabuki-chō is the location of many host and hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the “Sleepless Town” (眠らない街).
The district’s name comes from late-1940s plans to build a kabuki theater; although the theater was never built, the name stuck.

The area has many movie theaters, and is located near Shinjuku Station, Seibu Shinjuku Station, and several other major railway and subway stations.
In the 60s and 70s, students frequented the area as a place to drink and catch late-night showings at the CinemaScope movie theater. Game centers and discos also sprung up making the area known for its popular night scene. However, in the late 80s, with a revision to some laws restricting nighttime entertainment, many of the more wholesome establishments in the area shut down, and adult-centered businesses such as host and hostess clubs soon began to spring up in their place.
These new businesses did well enough to establish a new identity in Kabukicho, one which it embraces to this day.
