Kabukicho is named after a kabuki theatre that was planned after the war and never built. What came instead was neon, host clubs, izakaya and, more recently, the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. Tours here run from ramen classes and cosplay to night walks, and the area is safe enough if you ignore the touts.
