Original Note:
Contrary to popular belief, taking street photos is legal in Japan — as long as it isn't derogatory to subjects. The only prohibited public photography ban is to not allow pervs to take snapshots under women’s skirts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2023/01/30/issues/first-rule-street-photography-club-always-carry-camera-preferably-analog/#:~:text=Contrary%20to%20popular%20belief%2C%20taking,after%20the%20photo%20is%20shot.
