A large Halloween crowd was also held in Tokyo, Japan.
It was different from ours as the Japanese police had climbed directly into the command car and controlled the scene.

◀ Report ▶
Japan’s famous Halloween festival, Shibuya street in Tokyo.
That’s when the festival was held in Itaewon, Seoul.
In Tokyo, Japan, where cosplay culture is traditionally active, many people flocked to enjoy Halloween as well.
Hundreds of police officers are deployed at a glance.
In addition to maintaining traffic and order, a separate police force was established to prevent serious accidents.
What stands out are the police officers stationed all over the street.
The so-called DJ Police.
As a DJ at a concert, I climbed on top of a police command car and looked down on the crowd.
DJ Police’s job is to guide pedestrians and prevent mass accidents.

“Will you proceed slowly while watching the person in front of you. Do not stop at the intersection because it could cause an accident due to congestion.”
The reason that the control on the site has been strengthened in this way on the site of crowds
In 2001, there was a large scale crushing event.
More than 200,000 people flocked to the Akashi Fireworks Festival in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
After the incident, while moving to the railway station, a traffic jam occurred on the narrow pedestrian bridge and a crushing accident occurred.
Like the sloping lanes in Itaewon, I was pushed and fell all at once on a bridge where there was no way out.
11 deaths and 183 injuries.
Since then, hundreds of Japanese police have been deployed to prevent major accidents in Shibuya, Tokyo and other places where Christmas, Halloween and New Year events are held.
In addition, street drinking is prohibited in situations where there are many transients such as this time.
The United States also pays special attention to Halloween security incidents.
In New York, dangerous areas such as Manhattan and Brooklyn are closed on Halloween day, and Airbnb, a well-known accommodation brokerage, completely prohibits Halloween parties in accommodation.
