Shibuya Drinking Ban

Tokyo’s Shibuya neighborhood, known for its lively nightlife, is considering a major change: a year-round public drinking ban. Following successful Halloween and New Year’s Eve bans, Shibuya lawmakers are looking to curb unruly behavior and litter by extending the ban to all 365 days.

This would cover key areas like Shibuya Station, Center-gai, and Miyashita Park from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily. Meanwhile, Shinjuku is planning a Halloween-only ban to manage the spillover of partiers. If approved, Shibuya's would be the first continuous public drinking ban in Tokyo.
