Night District

New Expressions & Buzzwords | 夜の街

Night District

This refers to an area in which there is a high density of hospitality-orientated businesses, such as clubs or bars. Tokyo’s Metropolitan Governor, KOIKE, asked people to refrain from visiting these districts so as not to become infected by Covid-19, and the media also used this term. However, some people complain that this is discriminatory against certain professions or is liable to cause confusion.
