Is Tokyo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

It's a safe clean city with lots of visitors. Even though sometimes people don't speak English, they try their best to communicate or find the connection with you. I found it's a good city for female travellers

Hii☀️ I was in Tokyo from 03/21 to 03/26 and I loved it! The accommodation is the most expensive I think, the rest was pretty cheap. The food is soo good and it's really practical to have stores open 24/7! There's a lot of things to do, I went to temples, disney sea, an onsen(or baths at least) and teamlab! Parks are great too !! Japanese people are the kindest! It was my first time traveling alone so I was scared but they honestly made each day so much better💞 I really recommend it, I will definitely go back again!!

Tokyo is a beautiful and big city. There is so much to see and you always feel like you dont have enough time because its so big. The food is inceredible and inexpensive. I stayed a bit outside the main city but everything is really accesible and not that expensive in my opinion.

Family travel

I travelled with my two teenage kids in Tokyo and we never felt unsafe. People are friendly and helpful too (just some language barrier since we don’t speak Japanese) but they are very willing to help. Love the food!!!

Tokyo is a very big city and the experience was amazing. There are many activities to do like miniature museums, parks, restaurants, I was in a host family during all the stay and that was super great I can upgrade my Japanese level.

Japan was very nice nothing happened I feel comfortable here I went to a restaurant and they are very nice The landscape is wonderful I like being there everyone is very nice there is also free wifi

felt completely safe everywhere and never at risk of even pickpocketing. one of the best places to be a solo female traveler in. if you have internet you wont need any help to get by but even if you do the locals are wonderful and will try to help you despite the language barrier

1.Safety: I stayed in Tokyo metropolitan area for most of the time so I feel completely safe 2. Travel: I bought a Suica and saved it on my apple wallet for the subway which works fine, but dir a US resident, pls be aware that they only take Amex card, chase cards was not accepted, not sure why… as for the maps and stops, as a Chinese, I struggled reading the map in either Chinese/Japanese character or English bc I felt like either way only helped me a little lol. Maybe bc my short term memory is bad. 3. Food: I hate to go to those internet famous restaurants so I found a few local ones with good reviews. But I know they are not really local local bc I’m in Tokyo. But the idea is, don’t waste your time waiting in lines for those famous ones. 4. Interesting places: I went to a lot of shrines bc I want to collect the stamps, if you like to take pics, those are good places with less ppl. Overall, Tokyo is a great place to solo female to travel, but pls avoid Aug bc it’s waaayyyy to hot

Tokyo is a place very safe, good food and all experience is very nice and elegant. The whole Japan is good. Very good for people to travel alone. It’s a little expensive, but you still can find nice and cheap food.

Despite Japan being known as a safe country, I travelled alone at a very young age and I was not sure if it was still as safe as a woman. Because I missed the last train/bus to Tokyo, I slept at the airport for one night but it was very safe as others were sleeping there too. Although the chair felt a bit uncomfortable. To avoid that, I recommend figuring out how to get to the central city beforehand and exchange some money and figure out if you want to get a sim card. Make a list of these thinggs as soon as you land to avoid complications and smooth travel. Also check if your card works in the international ATMs or call your bank

Japan is the safest place on Earth. I have walked by myself on multiple occasions during nighttime and I have never experienced anything but calmness of mind. I consider Japan to be the best country in the world to solo travel as a woman (I did my first solo trip ever in Japan last year).

Tokyo is a huge prefecture and consists of many regions. Depending where are you staying, the experience might change. The most unsafe areas are Shibuya, Shinjuku, Yotsuya and surrounding areas. Many tourists, dirty streets, and very noisy.
