Akihabara is rather crowed during the afternoon and early evening. Even when the streets got emptier, my friend and I felt comfortable walking around. I want to note that we were doing our best to stick to major streets.
Posted: August 6, 2025Pretty safe compared to other countries. You can walk around alone, you won’t get robbed. People even will bring lost things to the nearest police stations, so if you lose something there’s a high chance of getting it back. Of course you hear about sexual harassment cases on public transport etc. so it does exist. I personally never saw it happening though.

It's safe normally But I don't really wanna walk alone at night Woman walking alone at midnight could be dangerous. And It's not biased, but recently I feel scared of foreign guys being so loud at night and acting bit disrespectful.

A lot of Okinawa is very very safe. American soldiers statistically tend to be the least safe part of staying here. Always be vigilant, but safety in Okinawa feels very respectful. One Okinawa was drunk flirting with me recently and his guy friends told him not to touch me when he started tapping my shoulder—I felt looked out for.

Tokyo is one of the cleanest and safest city in the world while having transport system that is always on time and accessible. I’d say it’s safe to walk at night but do keep vigilant because there are creeps that take advantage of drunk people. Other than that my overall experience as a solo female traveller in this city was fantastic.
