Solo travel

My sister stays in Japan but I usually met her when we were going to meet. It was very safe for me even if she wasn't round. I got lost plenty 😅. She stays outside Tokyo, I stayed in Akihabara Electric Town at a hostel.

Solo travel

My first solo travel at 19, I lived there for 3 months and loved it. Exploring, trying all the foods, visiting temples, going to the mountains and onsens, etc. Can't wait to go back as now I haven't been in 10 years.

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. I found that making friends here is much easier than in my home...

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.
