Crimes targeting foreigners are on the rise in entertainment and nightlife districts. You see some examples here. Use caution and stay out of such crimes.
Rip-offs in entertainment and nightlife districts
In nightlife districts, you often find non-Japanese touts or women seducing men, who solicit passersby to enter a particular establishment. Some people use SNS or dating service websites to lure customers.
They may pull you to a bar they conspire with, and you may become a victim of rip-offs, which frequently occur. In many cases, the victim becomes dazed after drinking hard liquor, and he/she is charged exorbitant bar tabs or his/her credit card is used for large purchases.
Don't go with the touts or anyone who tries to take you to somewhere.
Keep an eye on your belongings.
