According to the Metropolitan Police Department, waiting for prostitutes has become a problem around Okubo Park in Kabukicho, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, and many complaints have been received from nearby residents.
In response to this, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department conducted intensive crackdowns and arrested 35 people over the past month on charges of waiting for customers for the purpose of prostitution.
Approximately 70% of the 35 people were in their 20s, and the purpose of waiting for customers was to pay off food and drinks at the host club and spend money to hang out at men’s underground idol shops, making up 40% of the total. Some people were said to have incurred large amounts of debt.
The Metropolitan Police Department has been strengthening its countermeasures, including distributing leaflets to nearby host clubs and restaurants to warn them, as troubles related to fee collection have been occurring frequently.
Additionally, it is illegal to approach women who are waiting for customers and use them as prostitutes, so we are calling for caution and caution in the area.
