Authorities in Tokyo’s Shibuya district are seeking to curb street Halloween celebrations after they became a source of overcrowding, noise, litter and damage, with concerns heightened by the 2022 crowd crush in Seoul’s Itaewon district, which killed 154 people. The number of revelers fell from around 60,000 in previous years to 15,000 in 2023, then rose to about 20,000 in 2024. The mayor estimates that foreign tourists make up 70 to 80% of the crowds. Authorities have tightened measures, including setting up barriers, restricting alcohol sales, and increasing security and cleanup efforts, while the mayor is calling for celebrations to move off the streets and into indoor venues.
