Tokio was very safe! Even late at night I never felt uncomfortable. The food was amazing, i loved it. The City is so incredible, i would love to go again some day. Transport was very easy, even thoug I thougt it would be hard.
Posted: August 21, 2025Experienced: April, 2025Felt safe, but I'm sure a big part of it is because I was with my partner. I hear bad stories about solo female travellers in Japan that make me shudder. Fortunately I've never experienced anything like it myself.
Posted: August 14, 2025My trip to Japan was amazing! I felt super safe the whole time. The food was incredible, and everything was reasonably priced. My hotel was in a great spot, it was in Ginza. The food and shopping were really affordable too!"

I went there with a friend for her birthday. We were a little bit disappointed because there weren't many things to see or visit but still happy we went there. We visited a magnificent temple but the way to get there was quite an adventure 😂. The view was amazing. We visited Shizuoka's castle but a bit sad because there wasn't much to see because almost everything was burnt in a fire long time ago. The fish in shizuoka is divine and so cheap compared to France!

I was in Takamatsu for 4 days which was more than enough to see the city and some nearby nature areas. I went to and recommend: - Takamatsu Castle Park - Ogijima (lsland) - Ritsurin Garden - Kotohiragu (shrine, hike up 800 stairs) - Sanuki Manno Park - Takaya Shrine (hike) - Chichibugahama Beach (great for sunset and there's an uncle who takes photos for you for free) I recommend Kotohiragu and Sanuki Manno Park the same day because it's just a short bus ride from near the bottom of the shrine to the bottom of the park. In the bus there's a phone number to call the park and have a car pick you up (for free) to bring you to the entrance of the park (pay for entrance fee). I didn't have a Japanese phone number but the bus driver kindlly told me about this and called for me! Otherwise I would've had to walk uphill for 30+ minutes just to get to the entrance. PSA for vegans: Few to no vegan options in the area. I went out for food twice and the rest was surviving off of grocery store food. Two bakeries in the main strip in Takamatsu had plain white baguettes and another bakery had big sliced bread that were all vegan (grocery store bread all has milk). Funnily enough Starbucks has several vegan desserts in Japan so I had some of those (although definitely more pricy so it's a treat)

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.
