[/floatr]Police and Immigration officials carried out another raid on hostess clubs in Kinshicho last night. An army of around 160 police and officials split into groups and hit around 13 establishments from 9:30pm. The hawkers on the streets who spotted them early managed to call ahead and some clubs closed their doors for business. 4 people were arrested for visa violations and another 16 taken into custody. Police say that since they have cracked down on Roppongi and Shinjuku, a lot of operators have moved to Kinshicho which is in Sumida ward, Tokyo. Consequently, the area has seen a big increase in foreign hostesses and foreign hawkers on the streets. There's a short TBS real player video report in Japanese here (WMP version here) with pictures of the raid on Russian pub "Hajirai". This blogger has names and addresses of Russian pubs in Tokyo. While he counts only 5 in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Nakano, he has details for as many as 26 in Kinshicho.
