Tokyo was a very safe city. The street was very bright and there were many people on streets even in nights. And convenience store foods are really good. You must try those. I recommend egg sandwich and tuna triangle seaweed rice.
Posted: June 7, 2025Tokyo is a pretty safe city. Most employees in Tokyo can speak English especially in high end areas. In other areas, where communication can be confusing, staff may be rude from frustration. My favourite place I ate at was in Ginza- Kojiro the meal sets were amazing and affordable! Especially for such a high end street!

Tokyo was amazing!! A friend and I visited to celebrate graduation, and mostly stayed with my family as well as a couple nights in cheap hotels. As a big thrifting + vintage goods enthusiast, Shimo-Kitazawa was definitely my favorite neighborhood. My only two warnings would be to 1) be aware that upskirting is a problem (but mostly not a concern for foreigners) and 2) it’s easy to get separated on the trains during rush hour. Otherwise, Tokyo is incredibly safe and easy to get around, even as someone whose Japanese isn’t perfect.

Safety is on maximum There are lots of things to see, to do, to visit, in Japan they have a really good railway system, so it's easy to visit other smaller cities from Tokyo just by metro. Talking about food, it's pretty cheap, but there are lots of tasty spots. It's better to check ticktock recommendations, but everything with matcha is a must-have. However, it was uneasy to find more or less healthy food, thank God I brought buckwheat with me from Russia. Personally, I spent about 1500 for 2 weeks, including rent (4 people in one apartment), shopping, and everything else but airplane tickets.
Posted: May 25, 2025Experienced: October, 2024Overall I felt save. There are so many places to visit I was tired everyday from walking 20k+ steps everyday. Kind of regretting now that I only went for one week. Definitely take as least think as you can because there are so many cute souvenirs, yummy snacks and cute clothes!!
Posted: May 25, 2025The safeties city in the world, super clean, the most delicious food. Talking about the food, we had experience different types but the only that stay in my heart is sandwich with eggs from 7/12 and I am planning on going back this autumn to taste them again

Tokyo is one of the cleanest and safest city in the world while having transport system that is always on time and accessible. I’d say it’s safe to walk at night but do keep vigilant because there are creeps that take advantage of drunk people. Other than that my overall experience as a solo female traveller in this city was fantastic.

The safest place I have even been to. No place on earth is “risk 0” but here I don’t live in fear everyday. I do what I want to do when I want to without thinking too much about it ! The only bad experience I had was voyeurism.
