Dal boom del turismo sessuale all'allarme upskirting: perché in Giappone si accendono le "luci rosse

The article discusses two growing concerns in Japan: the rise of sexual tourism and the alarming increase in upskirting incidents. It highlights how the weaker yen has made Japan more attractive to foreign tourists seeking sexual services, particularly in areas like Tokyo’s Kabukicho district. This trend has sparked controversy over the regulation of prostitution and the disparity in legal enforcement, where women are often arrested while clients rarely face consequences. Additionally, the article reports on a surge in upskirting cases, with over 9,000 arrests recorded by 2025. Experts note that perpetrators are increasingly younger, often imitating online content, despite stricter laws and technological measures such as audible camera shutters on smartphones.
