Couple travel

I really liked Tokyo. I did a lot of homework before coming here, the people here are kind and i didnt want to direspect them in any way. They have a lot of unwritten rules that are good to know (on the streets you must walk on the left side, arigato must be followed by gozaimasu etc etc). I feel like if you learn a little japanese beforehand your experience and more importantly their experience of you will be much better.

Solo travel

Family travel

Visiting Tokyo with my family was great, the food, the people, the clothes, the public transport.. honestly everything felt so clean and safe. I think anyone should visit Tokyo at least once in their lifetime, if they have the means to.

Just be careful around shibuya (takeshita street) there’s a lot of african people who are aggressive and will scam you. They usually come up to you at night so please if you see one get away immediately

It’s generally safe compared to most major cities in the world. Just be mindful when you’re in crowded spaces like trains (groping can happen), nightlife districts like Kabukicho and Roppongi. Just use basic common sense and you’ll be fine.

Honestly, Tokyo is one of the safest places ever. It’s clean and the locals are incredibly polite. Although there is a serious problem with assault towards woman, I don’t think it’s something tourists need to be very aware of as people tend to steer clear of foreigners.
