    Wer hat Shibuya zu einer „langweiligen Stadt“ gemacht? Das entscheidende Ereignis, das die „Stadt der jungen Leute“ in einen Ort „voller Ladenketten und Ausländer“ verwandelte.

      Couldn’t agree more. I avoid Shibuya-ku almost entirely these days. Way better places to spend your free time in West Tokyo

      Correct translation; “Who turned Shibuya into a “boring town”? The decisive event that transformed the “town for young people“ into a place “filled with chain stores and foreigners only”.

      Like so many other places in Tokyo, it’s become a tourist circus. It’s a shame.

      The mayor did. Banned Halloween. Banned New Years. Closed all the good nightclubs (save for Womb) in the name of “urban renewal” and put endless expensive malls in their place. Shibuya is boring now.

      This makes me wonder what the fuck passes for thought inside the brains of the Cool Japan and the JNTO dudes.

      I mean, are they expecting tourists from gaikoku to all be Japanese, or something?

      Disclaimer: Haven’t been to Shibuya for about 5 years or so now.

      My Japanese girlfriend refuses to go anywhere near shibuya or shinjuku on account or her having worked in the former. She complains about how it’s nothing but foreigners who don’t understand japanese customs and a small percentage of Japanese people trying to market to said foreigners.

      Shibuya used to be my favorite place. It was buzzing. I absolutely loathe going now. Shinjuku is now closer to what Shibuya used to be (in a sense).

      Shibuya, Akihabara, Harajuku

      All 3 are a shadow of their former selves

      I mean, Tokyo’s government and whoever was in charge of the „redevelopment programs“, also tokkyuu invested a LOT to resevelop into a commercial center (essentially big companies that wanted to make money out of the population)

      But even the first time I came to Japan in 2008, Shibuya wasn’t really a „young people“ town in the sense fashionable, at the time it was harajuku for visual KEI and shimokita for sub culture.

      Both vibes ruined today.

      Japanese people?

      I assume those are the people who own the buildings and businesses in the area

      Koenji, Kichijoji, Nakano and Yoyogi are so much better than Shibuya.

      Shopping and people is all you have in Shibuya

      What’s wrong with a place „filled with chain stores and foreigners.“?… Japan is literally begging for more foreigners because of birth rate
