I felt completely safe in this city. People seem to live in their own world, and that’s the best feeling when you need some space as a solo traveler. But if you ever feel overwhelmed and want to chat with someone, just look around: you’ll notice that people are always open to talking. The city is super convenient: there’s always something to do at any hour, almost everything stays open, and you can find literally anything you can imagine. Food is cheap and delicious, and shopping is very satisfying for anyone who loves hunting for good deals: you can always find the same thing cheaper...
Posted: November 8, 2025Visiting 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.
Posted: October 14, 2025Experienced: July, 2016Tokio 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.

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
Posted: January 28, 2026It’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.
