Was a nice experience, I stayed in Nakatsu it was very nice there,not to loud but still can find food in the middle of the night. It was scary at first because of the language barrier, but once I gotten used to it, I tried to communicate with translator and it worked out smoothly. If u are up yo shopping then Osaka is the place to go.

I travelled to Osaka in April 2024 with family. It was an amazing experience. The city felt very culturally rich. The foods were amazing. The local people were very friendly. The city was very clean. In total, I really love the city.
Posted: June 11, 2025I 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.

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.

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.
