As Halloween approaches this year, Tokyo's Shibuya district, known as Japan's fashion center, has issued a notice requesting that visitors refrain from coming during the holiday season. This announcement has raised concerns as Shibuya has always been a popular tourist destination, particularly among young Japanese and foreign visitors.
During a press conference on October 5th, Shibuya's administrative chief, Takeshi Yabu, declared that no public events would be held in the area this Halloween (October 31st). He cautioned tourists who were planning to celebrate in Shibuya that their experience "may not be as enjoyable." The reason for this notice stems from the tragic incident that occurred in Itaewon, South Korea last year. An altercation involving a US soldier resulted in the death of a Korean citizen. Consequently, Shibuya is apprehensive about potential similar incidents and aims to prevent any further tragedies.
The notice has generated mixed reactions from both locals and tourists. Some individuals acknowledge the necessity of taking precautions to avert potential tragedies, while others are disappointed that they will not be able to partake in the Halloween festivities in Shibuya this year.
Regardless of these diverse reactions, the notice serves as a reminder that safety should always be prioritized, especially during large gatherings and events. As the world grapples with the ongoing pandemic and other challenges, it is crucial to exercise caution and make responsible decisions to ensure the safety of ourselves and those around us.
