Is Fukuoka Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Fukuoka

I found Fukuoka is a safe city. Of course there might be a chance to get bad experience in any country. But I can walk at night time alone and I feel prtty safe to do it. I think most of places in Japan is like that and I really appreciate.

Fukuoka, Japan is a very safe city/prefecture. People are very kind and helpful and will go out of their way to help you. No one tries to take advantage of foreigners/travellers and even if there is a language barrier everyone always does their best to help. I’ve lost my phone and wallet numerous times and it was always turned in to the store or the police. Also, you don’t need to worry about pick pockets in Japan ☺️

The people are all nice and friendly. I wouldn't say that walking around at night is 100 percent safe, but I think it is safe. If you have any problems, ask the people around you and they will tell you. I think you will enjoy the good food and the nice cafes, as there are many wonderful places to eat :)

Solo travel

Japan is definitely an extremely safe country overall but it’s still a little surprising that that fact extends to the cities even when you’re a solo lady. I only stopped in Fukuoka city for one day while on a road trip but it was really easy to walk around even in the evening and just enjoy the vibe of the city. It was Golden Week so it was lively even though it was a weekday but I didn’t get any unwanted attention and I ended up staying out ridiculously late visiting the small bars and karaoke spots around! Oh, and eating too much gelato lol. I’m hoping I can go back and spend some more time there.
