Is Japan a safe place to visit for a single female traveler?

Question

I live in Los Angeles which is a pretty safe place. I am going to Tokyo to for the first time and I heard Japan has a lot of crime there.

Answer 1

Japan and Tokyo, are very safe, and on the whole a lot safer than in Los Angeles, where I live too. And yes, I feel safe here too, but you and I know, living here, that there are places, we don't want to be, in the daylight, let alone the night.

Japan has a much lower crime rate than the U.S so go and enjoy.

But like everywhere else, be aware of your surroundings, and take precautions.

Answer 2

Tokyo and Japan are actually known for low crime rates, I'd have more peace of mind there than in L.A.

Answer 3

I know for a fact Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in asia.

I have been ot in the early hours of the morning in Tokyo alone and never felt unsafe or threatened in any way. I sure would not do that in LA.
