HE MENTIONED THE TRILATERAL PARTNERSHIP WITH SOUTH KOREA AND THE PHILIPPINES.
>>> ONE OF TOKYO’S MOST ICONIC DISTRICTS IS CRACKING DOWN ON BAD BEHAVIOR.
STARTING THIS WEEK, SHIBUYA HAS IMPOSED A YEAR-ROUND BAN ON PUBLIC DRINKING.
NHK WORLD’S TAKAO MINORI HAS THE DETAILS AND THE REACTION.
>> Reporter: SHIBUYA IS BUSY ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
FAMOUS FOR ITS BUSTLING CROSSING AND THE NIGHT LIFE, IT IS CONSIDERED A CULTURAL HAVEN.
IT HAS BECOME A HOT SPOT FOR PUBLIC DRINKING, DRAWING HUGE CROWD ON BIG NIGHTS LIKE HALLOWEEN.
BUT SUCH FESTIVITIES HAVE LED TO CONCERNS OVER PUBLIC SAFETY, LITTERING AND NOISE.
IN AN EFFORT TO RESTORE ORDER, OFFICIALS ADOPTED A BAN ON PUBLIC DRINKING IN 2019, LIMITED TO HALLOWEEN AND NEW YEAR’S HOLIDAYS.
BUT AMID A RECENT SWELL IN TOURISM, THEY’VE DECIDED TO EXTEND THAT BAN YEAR AROUND.
AS OF TUESDAY, DRINKING ON THE STREETS AND IN PARKS IS PROHIBITED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6:00 P.M. AND 5:00 A.M.
THE NO-DRINKING ZONE INCLUDES THE AREAS AROUND SHIBUYA STATION, THE WARD OFFICE AND MIASHITA PARK.
PATROL OFFICERS ARE BEING DEPLOYED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT, AND OFFICIALS ARE HANDING OUT LEAFLETS OUTLINING THE NEW RULES IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE.
BUT THERE IS A BIT OF A TWIST.
THERE ARE NO FINES OR PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS.
POLICE CAN CONFISCATE DRINKS FROM OFFENDERS.
STILL, SOME WONDER HOW EFFECTIVE THE BAN REALLY IS.
A RECENT SURVEY BY SHIBUYA WAR FOUND COMPARED TO LAST YEAR TWICE AS MANY FOREIGNERS ARE DRINKING IN THE STREETS. >> Translator: WHILE STREET DRINKING WAS NOT PROHIBITED, MANY FOREIGNERS IN PARTICULAR SAID IT IS NOT A RULE VIOLATION, IT IS NOT ILLEGAL.
SO IT IS SIGNIFICANT WE CAN SAY IT IS ACTUALLY BANNED NOW.
>> EVERYONE HERE IS DOING IT BECAUSE THEY CAN DO IT.
AS SOON AS THEY CAN’T DO IT, WE WILL JUST GO WHERE WE CAN DO IT.
THAT’S ALL IT IS.
>> ESPECIALLY FOR TOURISTS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE NOT DOING IT, TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL, DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THE COUNTRY. >> Translator: WE JAPANESE SHOULD STOP DOING IT FIRST.
I THINK THAT WAY THE SITUATION WOULD IMPROVE. >> Reporter: IT IS ESTIMATED THAT SHIBUYA WILL BE SPENDING NEARLY A MILLION U.S. DOLLARS PER YEAR TO ENFORCE THE NEW MEASURES.
OFFICIALS SAY IF THEIR WARNINGS DON’T SEEM TO BE WORKING THEY WILL CONSIDER IMPOSING PENALTIES AND GETTING THE TOKYO METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT INVOLVED.
FOR NOW THOUGH, THEY’RE RELYING ON PUBLIC COOPERATION AND THE FIRST BIG TEST WILL BE IN JUST A FEW WEEKS AS THE CITY ONCE AGAIN CELEBRATES HALLOWEEN.
NHK WORLD, TOKYO, TAKAO MINORI.
