How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The main street into Kamurocho, entered under a red neon arch and lined with bars, restaurants and shops, where street fights break out constantly.
The real place
The red Ichibangai arch on Yasukuni-dori is Kabukicho's best-known entrance; it dates from 1969 and switched to LED lighting in 2013. The game puts its own red gate in the same spot.
Visiting
The gate photographs best at dusk from the south side of Yasukuni-dori. Friday and Saturday nights are packed, so go earlier in the evening for clearer shots.
