Chat: Tokyo’s Shibuya losing popularity as a place to go drinking, drops out of top 10 in survey SoraNews
A: Hey there! Did you catch the news about where people go for drinks in Tokyo?
B: No, what's up?
A: Well, for the sixth year in a row, Shinjuku is still number one. But guess who dropped out of the top 10 this year?
B: Hmm... I don't know. Shibuya maybe?
A: Exactly! It's been a popular spot for drinks for a long time, but it fell two places down to 12th place. Can you believe it even lost out to Omiya in Saitama?
B: Whoa, really? That's surprising! I thought Shibuya was still a good place for drinks.
A: Yeah, me too. Researchers say there are a couple of things that might be causing this. First, it doesn't have a well-developed underground entertainment center like Shinjuku and Tokyo Stations do. Plus, they think Shibuya lacks a defined atmosphere because it has so many different kinds of attractions all mixed together.
B: Oh, that makes sense. I guess it can be hard to find the perfect spot when there are so many options.
A: Exactly! And another thing is that many large corporations in Shibuya offer partial work-from-home options, which might mean fewer people go out for drinks after work. Plus, some people might think Shibuya's become too touristy and expensive.
B: Wow, I didn't know that. Maybe it's time to explore some new neighborhoods for a night out! Let me know if you find any good places. 😄
