What does a bad neighborhood look like in a country where there's so little crime police are looking for things to do?



Run-down low-rent apartments, shady brothels and the sketchy pimps that run them, and occasional street violence between different yakuza groups.

What kind of bad neighborhood?

Kabukicho has a lot of very expensive girls bars, but that $600 you didn't realize you spent wasn't a crime… probably. Minami-senju looks more like the Tenderloin.


Honestly, Minami-senju is ugly and run down, but probably safer than Kabukicho.
