I'm going to Japan for prostitution..."There are the most Chinese customers".

Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP)

Japan has emerged as a new 'gender tourism hub' in Asia, according to reports.

On the 16th (local time), Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported in an article titled "Tokyo, Asia's new sex tourism capital," that many foreigners are going sightseeing in Japan due to the recent weakening of the yen and increasing poverty in Japan.

In particular, young women are increasingly waiting for customers before sunset in Tokyo's parks, he added.

The media introduced the case of a 19-year-old woman, Lua (a pseudonym), who is engaged in illegal prostitution in Tokyo. "I left my house in February and came to Kabuki-cho to find a cafe job, and I owe it to the host (male hospitality) and started coming to the park in April," he said.

"I usually get five men a day, but it's twice as many on weekends," he said. "There are various men coming to the park, but about half of them are foreigners. There is a British man and regulars from Taiwan, China and Hong Kong," he added.

The number of violent incidents is also increasing rapidly, with an angry man suddenly using violence while bargaining for SCMP prices.

The Youth Protection Liaison Council, a Japanese youth protection organization, said in an interview with the media, "The foreign men who come to Japan for sex tourism are diverse, including white, Asian, and black, but most of them are Chinese."
