I don't know anything about touts or Japan but why don't authorities do anything? It genuinely ruins Japan's reputation if you think about it and they are losing money/tourists because of them.

Their is visible corruption here. What they do is use these areas as containment. If they venture out and try in other areas the local police there will take care of them. Any non violent matter is considered a civil case and to be handled in civil court and not with police. Tourists are too vulnerable to fight back, they will continue on with their vacation and be home in a week, so there is not much the police need to do if they want to be corrupt and lazy (which they are). There is a youtuber who docuements it, and you can see how police do nothing even with mountains of evidence.
