I’ve just returned from Japan and specifically Kabukicho area in Shinjuku (Sep 22-25). I am happy to have covered most spots in your video, which btw is very well done. I did inadvertently step into 3 different streets with Nigerian pimps, but successfully ignored and sidestepped each of them. Aside from that, l really liked the vibe and energy of the area, and am sure of visiting Shinjuku again. Japan is a great country with undoubtedly the most disciplined people on earth.
Thank you for your comment. The impact of the Olympics has led to significant improvements, but the crime rate in Kabukicho is still relatively high, around 45% (compared to 1% for all of Shinjuku Ward), and there are incidents targeting foreign tourists. Being aware of unsafe areas and having information beforehand can help you avoid them. I'm glad you enjoyed Shinjuku, and I hope you'll consider visiting Shinjuku and Japan again in the future!
