It’s all child play compared to European cities.
The Japanese are highly cultured people, I worked as a security guard in the Dotombori district which is the entertainment district, I’ve never felt or seen anything violent or threatening, I’m from cologne Germany,
Here it’s nuts when it comes to violence during the weekends, I mean it’s not Chicago but if they’d guns..
Overall I think Osaka is awesome.
Not many problems with aggressive foreigners and luckily japan doesn’t have the same influx of scum as Germany.
Still keep an eye open for pickpocketers.
