Is Shari safe for solo female travelers?

Shari is generally considered very safe for solo female travelers. The crime rates are low and locals are often helpful towards tourists. Yet, like any location, it's advisable to stay aware of your surroundings, particularly at night, and keep your personal belongings secure at all times. The main concern would be language barrier but many Japanese people, specially the younger generation, are able to communicate in English. Furthermore, there are signs in English available in many areas. Despite this, emergency assistance and police services are highly efficient and accessible.
