* Japan:
** [https://www.tofugu.com/japan/nishinari/ Nishinari Ward] is considered the slum of Osaka and the most dangerous place in Japan. Multiple riots took place there, and even now it remains infamous for strong [[Yakuza]] presence and the largest [[Red Light District]] in the nation. It is almost literally on the [[Wrong Side of the Tracks]] from much more upmarket Namba to the north.
** Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo, which you may have heard of from ''[[Gintama]]'' or the [[No Communities Were Harmed]] "Kamurocho" in ''[[Ryu ga Gotoku|Yakuza]]'', has long had an unsavoury reputation for sleaze and crime.
* There are places in Singapore like Orchard Towers or certain parts of Geylang where it is an open secret that prostitution, which is officially illegal in the country, is quietly tolerated as long as no one rocks the boat.
