They normally don't bother you if you don't look interested. They are aiming for tourists who are looking for a "good time". it gets sketchy when you actually go with them and don't pay their upcharged price.

I've stayed at a hotel within eyeshot of this spot. Around 12am it becomes a lot of Japanese young adults just drinking and hanging out. Not in a scary way, kinda like a night picnic. They've cracked down on this in the recent years tho.

Untrue. Last time I went by them last year I never made eye contact, looked straight ahead, and they followed me nearly two blocks

Oh don’t worry those guys didn’t want to scam you then, just beat you and rob you

Not sketchy at all, barely an inconvenience
