Is it dangerous in Tokyo?

Question

Im visiting tokyo in the shibuya region in two months and some one told me today that has been there that is can be extremely dangerous and to watch out from every thing from kidnapping to just getting murdered.....from what I have researched and seen it seems like a pretty safe place at most as dangerous as the US.....sooo any takers?

Answer 1

I don't know if  "dangerous" is an appropriate word, but true that for last a couple of months, there were a few muders by crazy nuts...

Japan may not be as safe as it used to be, but still Japan is safer than the other advanced countries...

Answer 2

A lot of places are pretty dangerous now.  I dont have much experience about Japan, but it seems pretty safe.  Very populated so easily to get pushed or shoved here and there, and easy to get lost, but it's pretty safe I think

Answer 4

Just stay away from the bad neighbor hoods, and don't talk to stranges, and other stuff you learned when you were a kid. And when you see a gun being drawn.....RUN!!!!!! Lol! But seriously run for your life. Don't look back. Just do the things your Mom and Dad tought you when you were just a little kid, and you'll be fine.

Have fun ^_^!

Answer 9

i don't really think tokyo is dangerous of course any big city has a Chance of being dangerous but as long as you keep an eye out i think you will be ok

Answer 10

Japan is one of the safest places in the world, so I wouldn't worry. Tokyo is probably the most dangerous because of the high population and the wide array of people, so I wouldn't go waking down any dark alleys at night, but I wouldn't be very concerned about safety. Tokyo NEVER sleeps, you will always find someone on the streets no matter what time it is
