Shibuya Mayor Ken Hasebe has implored people to stay away from the popular district, citing safety concerns.
TOKYO — Tight security was in place in Tokyo's vibrant Shibuya district on Saturday, just days before Halloween, with the famous Hachiko dog statue covered with a white curtain bearing the message that the area is "not a venue" for events.
On Sunday, meanwhile, South Korea will mark the one-year anniversary of the crowd crush that killed more than 150 people in Seoul's Itaewon entertainment district after tens of thousands gathered to take part in Halloween celebrations. In an attempt to prevent young people and foreign visitors from engaging in vandalism and drunken behavior, convenience stores and supermarkets near the station have been asked by Shibuya Ward to suspend alcohol sales during the Halloween season.
