东京涩谷万圣节严阵以待：八公像围封、125名警戒员上街，62家商店停售酒类
东京——万圣节之夜，东京涩谷区以「GOODBYE BAD HALLOWEEN」（告别失序的万圣节）为口号严阵以待。涩谷区政府9月30日公布今年的应对措施：涩谷站前的八公像自10月30日清晨6时起围封，至11月1日早晨才撤除，避免人群在地标周边聚集。
区政府安排的警戒员10月30日约60人上街，10月31日当晚增至约125人；涩谷站周边的62家便利店等商店被要求在31日晚停止售卖酒类。按照2024年10月起施行的条例，涩谷站周边街道全年每日晚6时至次日凌晨5时禁止街头饮酒，虽无罚款，但有巡逻人员劝阻；今年6月1日起，全区乱扔垃圾可被现场罚款2,000日元。
警方31日下午4时左右起在涩谷站周边实施车辆交通管制。相邻的新宿区歌舞伎町一带，31日晚5时至11月1日凌晨5时也限制街头饮酒。涩谷区区长长谷部健呼吁民众不要专程为万圣节前往涩谷。
涩谷十字路口过去万圣节曾聚集大量变装人群并发生混乱；2022年韩国首尔梨泰院踩踏事故后，东京对大型人群聚集的防范逐年升级。与此同时，池袋的Cosplay节于10月30日至11月1日照常举行，成为变装爱好者的主要去处。

Tokyo's Shibuya Braces for Halloween: Hachiko Statue Fenced Off, 125 Wardens on Patrol, 62 Stores Asked to Halt Alcohol Sales
TOKYO — Shibuya Ward is bracing for Halloween night under the slogan "GOODBYE BAD HALLOWEEN." In measures announced on September 30, the ward fenced off the famous Hachiko statue outside Shibuya Station from 6 a.m. on October 30 until the morning of November 1, to keep crowds from gathering around the landmark.
About 60 ward security staff patrolled on October 30, rising to roughly 125 on the night of October 31, and 62 convenience stores and other shops near the station were asked to refrain from selling alcohol that evening. Street drinking near the station has been banned year-round between 6 p.m. and 5 a.m. since October 2024 — enforced by patrols rather than fines — and since June 1 this year, littering anywhere in the ward carries an on-the-spot fine of 2,000 yen.
Police began vehicle restrictions around Shibuya Station from about 4 p.m. on October 31. In neighboring Shinjuku Ward, street drinking around Kabukicho is restricted from 5 p.m. on October 31 to 5 a.m. on November 1. Shibuya Mayor Ken Hasebe has urged people not to come to Shibuya specifically for Halloween.
Shibuya's scramble crossing once drew huge costumed crowds and disorder on Halloween. After the 2022 Itaewon crowd crush in Seoul, Tokyo has tightened crowd precautions year by year. Meanwhile, Ikebukuro's cosplay festival runs as scheduled from October 30 to November 1, offering costume fans a planned alternative.
