A district mayor in Japan’s biggest city<\/a> is banning annual Halloween celebrations in the area.<\/p>\n

Shibuya city Mayor Ken Hasebe held a news conference Thursday, when he discouraged Halloween party-goers<\/a> from coming to the ward, which is famous for its annual celebrations.<\/p>\n

“This year, we are making it clear to the world that Shibuya is not a venue for Halloween events,” Hasebe said. “Please, do not come to the Shibuya station area for Halloween.”<\/p>\n

Hasebe said the decision was made to prevent possible crowd-crushing disasters<\/a> caused by over-packed streets.<\/p>\n

“We have a strong sense of crisis that we may not be able to ensure the safety and security of residents and visitors,” he said.<\/p>\n

The mayor specifically referenced a tragedy that occurred in the Itaewon district of Seoul, South Korea,<\/a> last year, when over 150 people were killed in a massive crowd crush disaster.<\/p>\n

“A fatal accident like Itaewon can happen here any time,” he said.<\/p>\n

Shibuya \u2014 known for its massive, highly-trafficked crossing area near its station \u2014 has been the site of annual Halloween bloc parties in recent years.<\/p>\n

Past celebrations have brought thousands of Japanese and foreign partiers, clogging streets with elbow-to-elbow pedestrian traffic and widespread alcohol consumption.<\/a><\/p>\n

Halloween has seen a surge of interest in Japanese society in recent years, inspiring civil and corporate events themed around the foreign holiday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
