How safe is Osaka?
If you loose your belongings, most of Japanese people pick up and hand in to the police, stations, information center and so on. It is not 100％ safe waking alone at late night, but I think much safer than other big cities
Posted: September 1, 2024Osaka is very safe. People are more friendly than other sities in Japan and you can walk at night no problem. I think it’s the best destination for the female solo travelers. Just so crowded sometimes that’s the only concern.

I felt pretty safe, even though I wouldn't recommend walking in the streets at night. There's a lot of people, so you never know who'll be there, right? But Osaka stole my heart. It was such a nice experience, I love this city.

Downtown Osaka is very busy even in the midnight. there are a lot of commercial streets full of tourists, and during the day it's even less of a concern, so it's no problem at all for a girl to wonder around. Buy an Osaka Tourist Card, it's a great deal, you can go to a lot of attractions for free with this card, and take the subway for free. Universal Studios is very interesting, recommended Nintendo Park. It is very convenient to eat alone, if you want to economize, you can choose fast food or food for one, if you want to be extravagant, you can choose omakase.
