Crime in Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo's still incredibly safe, but it is true that the influx of bad foreigners is making it less so, so it's important to stay alert around foreigners. Also, you must absolutely check your change when dealing with people from Nepal, for example, because they regularly steal your change, and anywhere in Tokyo (or Japan!), Indian men harass women and they often follow women no matter how many times you tell them to leave you alone.

Kurds in Kawaguchi are becoming a rather large problem for Japan, too, and they are known to be violent. Lots of mentally ill white people in Japan, too, and some have become violent, too.

im your biggest fan! wait... i thought you died from a stingray!???

I'm viewing the "Crime" page and can confirm that Japan is fairly crime free. Even in Tokyo, where I live. You can go for a walk carrying 20,000 yen with you at 23:30 down a deserted alley (although why you would want to do that is beyond my comprehension) and not have to worry about a thing. Even if you're a 5'4" female, drunk and alone.
In comparison, in the UK (my home country) you wouldn't want to be out and vulnerable like that at night unless you're with a male or group of friends.

@Gangster bill even you ruin the day of all of the Japanese japanese people are nice and helpful

Hmmm, it's almost like Ethnically pure nations have less crime than multicultural ones. Really makes me think.....

Tokyo is a wonderful place to stay hotels, nice cars and delicious food.

I lived there for a few years, and I believe it's one of the safest capitals in the world, where you can walk the streets in the middle of the night without fear.

I don't get how even with the high population, the crime rates are low?

Tokyo is paradise for one and all! Most of these comments are ridiculous! When Western cities like Portland, London and San francisco are burning due to riots and Covid has hit the UK, continental Europe(Paris to Stockholm) and with Neo nazis and street gangs roaming the streets of western Europe/American cities intimidating people, robbing and raping as they please, homeless everywhere across Europe, Australia and Americas etc, Japan alone stands as a beacon of hope and positivity amongst civilizations. All people, including foreign women and people of color are extremely safe in Tokyo or anywhere else in Japan. Most of these commentators are probably angry whites who have'nt travelled beyond their trailer parks/flea infested shitties(cities?)

Tokyo is so safe that people have nothing else to write but silly things
