The "dangerous men" thread had me thinking. Are there any known bad neighborhoods in Tokyo? More crime, higher chance of something bad happening to you, etc.

A lot of times when I visited, I stayed in Shinjuku and had to walk through Kabukicho to get to my hotel. Outside of the generally shadiness of the businesses and such, I never felt like it was dangerous in any way.

I honestly have never felt this way ever in Tokyo except for once... but I don't remember where I was haha. I think I remember being stuck in Ikebukuro late after the trains stopped running and I had to make my way back to Shinjuku so I decided to walk it. I remember getting weird vibes and stares on the way back, but I can't pinpoint where. You know, weirder stares than the usual.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows of any areas to stay out of. Especially if you're gaijin.
