Police step up patrols against prostitutes in Tokyo park

*The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has stepped up patrols at a park in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district which has become a popular spot for so-called “stand-up” prostitutes who wait for customers.*

Interesting direct translation.

Still seems a little hypocritical to target streetwalkers when there are so many fuzoku, soaps, and sex parlors around the neighborhood.

The authorities don't like it when the middleman is cut out.

That's an excellent point.

Maybe they can use social media like Insta or X to solicit clients?

Great. So now what are we supposed to do? There's no way I'm paying soapland prices.

"Stand up" is just the latest in a long line of euphemisms The sex industry has loads of them.

One problem appears to be YouTubers hassling the women to make edgy content.

Metropolitan Police Department said it will also focus on supporting the women to reintegrate into society, by referring them to welfare facilities.

So the government will supply welfare facilities to prostitutes but not to the elderly who are killing each other because they can't take care of themselves. Well done Jpn Govt!!!

i used to live a little way outside that area. It's on the way to Kabuki-cho. Sleazy as you can get.

More like they don't want it out in the street

The government provides welfare and government assisted housing

leave the hookers alone!

Do your homework and see what the government actually supplies to the elderly here and what support they get.

I would rather be dead than try survive on the support here. Why do you think in the news almost daily there is a story of one spouse murdering the otherwise because they got tired of taking care of them. The elderly support in this country is appalling!

In other words, the cops aren't getting a cut from certain people.

Better pay off your local "on the take" officer if you wanna keep working.

It's simple Dirty Cop 101 economics.

I've lived in Japan since 1988 and being of senior age, I know quite a few people who receive not only their pension (which admittedly is a pittance), but also welfare. Prior to moving in 2020, our family lived in government subsidised housing. One room apartments, not studio apartments, but one room apartments were for as little as 2万５千円 per month. The elderly are also allotted full health insurance coverage. For those interested here is the "homework". Cheers

If they need a woman get one, if they can’t improve themselves until a woman will have them.

That's easy for you to say as an able-bodied person.

Any man especially married who goes to prostitutes cannot be trusted in any aspect of his life.

They are not asking you to trust them with anything. They are asking to be left alone in what is a private matter.

The (overwhelmingly male) authorities do not want (overwhelmingly female) sex workers to be self-employed and keeping the money they earn. They want them to be employed by (male) yakuza, who will take a lion's share of their profits. Gender inequality in Japan in a nutshell.

Expanding poverty causes such situation. it's nothing but politics' fault after all.

What fantastic piffle this nonsense is!

Unfounded claim. Simple 101 watching too many Netflix dramas. Here's a tip...Tokyo Vice is fiction, despite what Jake Adelstein wants you to believe

On Thursday night, police went to the park and told the women to stop waiting for customers.

............ and to work on them asap! lol
