Is Osaka Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Osaka

Never felt as safe as I do here! I frequently cycle or walk at night, and have never felt under threat. People are either very friendly, or are just doing their own business. I truly love it here and would recommend to anyone.

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

Osaka 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.

Solo travel

I could go on about Japan forever, but the jist of it is that I felt it was a safe haven. Never felt so comfortable and confident travelling solo anywhere else. The food is great, people are friendly and kind as long as you're respectful and show interest in their culture and way of life, and most importantly it is as safe as can be. Of course some caution is always to be taken in regard to your surroundings but for the most part I felt perfectly safe walking around all alone at night, going to the club by myself, and much more.

Solo travel

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.
