In Shibuya Ward, a strengthened regulation on street drinking will come into effect in October 2024, introducing a year-round ban. Previously, restrictions were only in place during specific times like Halloween and the New Year, but rising issues related to noise and littering, as well as an increase in tourists, led to the decision for a comprehensive ban.

Under the new ordinance, drinking will be prohibited in designated areas around Shibuya Station from 6 PM to 5 AM the following morning. Although there will be no penalties for violations, security personnel will patrol the area to provide warnings to those who do not comply
