The Shibuya Ward assembly has passed a bill to extend a street drinking ban to year-round, addressing issues such as excessive noise and traffic obstruction around Shibuya Station. This ordinance will take effect in October and has received positive feedback from local residents and business owners. In a similar move, the assembly of Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward has unanimously enacted an ordinance to ban street drinking at night in certain entertainment districts during the Halloween period. This decision follows last year's events when revelers, displaced by Shibuya's ban, caused chaos in Kabukicho.
