Is Tokyo Safe for Women? Crime in Tokyo

Probably one of the safest places in the world to be a girl and alone. I never fear walking alone at night. I think sexual harassment can happen at clubs or bars but that’s normal probably in most places.

tokyo is a very safe city! i moved here last year and have yet to experience a scanrio where i didn’t feel safe. either alone or in a group and at all hours. the suburb where i stay is very well lit, which helps a lot.

Japan is one of the safest country in the world. You can leave your phone, wallet or anything in a restaurants no one would steal it. Apart from, I happened to accidentally dropped my scarf in a huge theme park. I inquired about it to the staff, filled out a form detailing the color and brand of the scarf. After five days it was mailed to my home. Another incident was, I left my back pack in the toilet. Fortunately, I was able to get it back. There is low number of crime in Tokyo and people are very polite. Customer service and customer experience is excellent.

I think it’s the safest place in the world. There are some areas that are thought less safe, but there is no problem if you avoid those area. Japanese people tend to be kind to foreigners and since not many people can speak English, they are not aggressively trying to speak or get involved with them. That means your safer than Japanese people.

Tokyo is the busiest city in Japan but very safe. People are nice and polite. If you’re in trouble, someone definitely helps you. You can come to Japan without worrying about anything!! Transportations are usually punctual. Summer is Tokyo is very hot and humid so I recommend you should visit spring, autumn, or winter seasons!

Japan is generally a safe place, but there are the occasional strange person. Most people are generally kind, so if you feel uneasy, ask for help. Not many people can speak English, though. They will make an effort to understand you, though.

It’s generally a very safe place even after dark. It is pretty common to see a girl walking in the dark alone at the night. Although sometimes women should still choose to walk where the light is on and where people is around just so to prevent gripping from pervert. Especially be careful during rush hour train in Tokyo.

Super safe city. I never had any problem walking alone at night for some km (even when I was drunk). Difficult to find a city more safe for female than Tokyo. Considering the harassment in the street, there is none. Some men can ask you to go out with them (pretty rare and only in busy area) but if you say no, they immediately leave you alone. It’s my experience after living there for 6 months, the risk 0 doesn’t exist, but it’s super safe and nothing never happened to me.

Tokyo is probably the safest city I know. I've been living here for 20 years and never had anything bad happen to me. People are polite, respectful and have good boundaries. The streets are safe and clean. You can lose or leave your belongings and surely enough you'll find them again.

Solo travel

Tokyo is a place very safe, good food and all experience is very nice and elegant. The whole Japan is good. Very good for people to travel alone. It’s a little expensive, but you still can find nice and cheap food.

Solo travel

Despite Japan being known as a safe country, I travelled alone at a very young age and I was not sure if it was still as safe as a woman. Because I missed the last train/bus to Tokyo, I slept at the airport for one night but it was very safe as others were sleeping there too. Although the chair felt a bit uncomfortable. To avoid that, I recommend figuring out how to get to the central city beforehand and exchange some money and figure out if you want to get a sim card. Make a list of these thinggs as soon as you land to avoid complications and smooth travel. Also check if your card works in the international ATMs or call your bank

Solo travel

When you finish a wonderful trip, everything goes back in your mind. I love this trip, I'm solo traveler so i can enjoy and spend a lot of time with another travellers. I love everything in Tokyo, Japan. But i only two things i hate are that No trash bin in the street and No eating outside.

Group travel

I loved Tokyo and Osaka, Tokyo has fantastic character cafes, animal cafes, and regular cafes! Be aware that there’s nowhere to sit down/benches on the street, so if it’s really hot in summer you’ll have to duck into a store or buy a drink at a coffee shop. Check out Akihabara and my favorite, Takeshita Street in Harajuku! They have incredible dollar stores (my favorite is called 3COINS, you can personalize things like aprons, makeup bags, and chopsticks!)
