Scams to watch for in Japan
- Street touts and inflated bar billsSomeone on the street urges you to enter a bar or club. Once inside, you may face very high entry charges or drink prices. Tokyo's Roppongi and Kabukichō have specific warnings about this. Some hostess bars in Hiroshima's Nagarekawa may also overcharge. Staff also approach visitors outside host and hostess bars around Kyoto's Kiyamachi, though overcharging there is not specifically described.
- Pickpocketing in crowdsSomeone takes money or valuables from your pocket or bag in a crowd. It happens sometimes despite Japan's low crime rate.
- Theft in traveller bars and hangoutsBelongings can be stolen in traveller bars and hangouts. The exact theft method is not specified.
