My school friends used to carry a safety pin with them for these type of people in train. You can be silent and use the pin whenever needed, no public scene will happen.

thank you for being realistic! many people just say "Japan is super safe" and that's it...but it's important to be always careful, even in Japan. I did have one scary experience while living in Japan. I was on a vacation in a small town and I was taking a walk at night. It wasn't that late yet with still quite a lot of people around...but on my way back to an accommodation there was no one anymore and I stopped to watch night view by a temple, when I noticed this older man hanging around, I didn't really care because it's normal, right? and he disappeared after a while. So after I was done enjoying night view, I continued on my way down when I noticed the man standing under stairs, hiding in a shadow of nearby trees and watching me. I immediately turned around and went to stand right under a street lamp (because it was dark to go to any direction) and called my mom. I didn't tell her anything because I didn't want to scare her, but I was so scared that I was breathing really fast and mom asked me if I was running or what. I still feel the fear while writing this tbh. So I was standing under that lamp, talking with my mom and the guy came up and just left other way...I immediately ran back to my accommodation. Nowhere else in the world something like this has happened to me, that's why everyone needs to be careful even in Japan. As for groping on public transportation, I didn't experience it in Japan but I did experience it two times in my life and once I wasn't able to say anything but second time, I elbowed the guy in the stomach hard and stomped on his feet and got out of the bus.

I traveled solo to Japan in spring 2019 and had a phenomenal and safe experience my entire 3 week trip. I went to Tokyo (Shibuya, akihabara, roppongi, Harajuku, Ueno and a few other places that are slipping my mind right now), Kyoto (central Kyoto and gion), Zushi (a town south of Tokyo), Jimmuji (I think that’s the name of the town? I’m not sure but that was the name of the station on the Keikyu line). Often times I would end up taking the last of the trains in the evenings to retire from my long days exploring and having fun (by myself). Not once did I ever feel unsafe. Not once did I ever feel like I didn’t have access to any sort of security resource. By security resource I mean, a police box, a train station security person, a random officer on the street, a place that felt safe that I could run into and ask for help. I even feel like if it was a really desperate situation I could ask a random stranger for help because people are genuinely kind and polite. I needed help finding my way back to the train station one night and my phone battery died and so I stopped a random man on the street. At first he was hesitant because of not knowing much English. But to ease his nerves I knew some basic Japanese words in my head and used universal gestures and made sure to remember to thank him and bow. I said something like “sumimasen JR?” and showed him my dead phone and gestured a shrug. Then we tried to look for paper to draw me a map (yes japanese ppl really do that, it’s true!) but we didn’t have any so he pointed the directions (left, right, straight) and showed me numbers using his fingers for streets to walk. And then I relayed it back like Rock Paper Scissors and he was like “yes! Ok!” And I thanked him multiple times and bowed semi-deeply to show my gratitude. I was pretty close to the station but I was so disoriented from wandering and taking photos and window shopping I felt lost.

I did read an article saying Japan will open up in April 2021 but honestly I don't believe any articles right now. No one knows for sure if it can actually happen without a vaccine. They did say they want to let people in Japan if you take a covid test before your flight then after you land and if you're negative you're free to travel, but I think that is dumb. The test isn't 100% accurate, if it was we would've been able to travel ages ago

I think one of the reasons I felt so safe in Japan was due to most things being open late or even being 24 hours. Having arcades shut at 1am, 24hour convenient stores on literally every other corner, shops staying open way past 8pm (as opposed to 5pm here in the UK) plus late running transportation etc, you didn't feel like you shouldn't be out late at night or wary that there's only going to be drunk people etc since a variety of places were still open. Also due to the street designs, a lot of streets had no pavement and were just "alleyways", which you would not walk down at night (or day) in any other country, but it's just a casual street in Japan..

I thought as a foreigner groping wouldn’t happen to me. But it did, on a very crowded train. I completely froze and couldn’t react at first. After that I just pushed away as much as I could and got of next stop. As Kim says you might freeze even if you before think you would react differently

As a Japanese person who grew up on the country side and moved to Tokyo, groping on trains is deffinitely a problem, especially in Tokyo. It is very hard to get actual statistics of how often it happens. But from my annecdotal experience, I can tell you most of my friends back home have never experienced it, but a lot of my friends who from Tokyo have, I even know a guy who has experienced it. I really recommend you to try and get a seat on trains, and travel on a female only carrage if you have to travel during the morning rush hours.

I hope you’re able to travel soon, it’s been a long 2020... Japan is a country I’ve never worried about getting lost in any of its cities and walking into a bad neighborhood. It has gotten a little interesting at times in the Kabukichō area but not past the point where a few waves of the hand in front of the nose, like you were shooing off a mosquito or fly, hasn’t gotten me out of the situation. /Take care, stay safe, be well

That always really pissed me off, in Japan they never did that.

Problem is that isn’t confirmed and we don’t know for sure if there isn’t a vaccine. A lot of news articles are saying that but no one knows if it can be possible. Even if japan does a test before people leave and another when they land, the test isn’t accurate and can give wrong results. If it was accurate we would’ve been able to travel a long time ago. Also for places like the US and Europe they aren’t doing so great, I don’t think countries will open to them anytime soon. Australia said we most likely can’t go to the US or Europe until end of 2021. If japan actually does open to everyone in March without a vaccine or mandatory quarantine that will be a huge mistake. If someone was mistakenly tested as negative and started spreading it in Japan, it’s going to be a disaster.

I totally understand what you mean about Japanese not wanting to be a nuisance. Honestly I’ve had the same situation happen to me. I’m originally from America, so if something like that were to happen to me there, I would speak up. But for some reason I just freeze here...does that seem weird? Lol. Maybe because I’m becoming accustomed to the culture. My students tell me that it is the culture and something that’s been going on for a very long time, but also they want to change that and be able to become a culture that can speak up more without having to be judged. So I found it interesting hearing that.

I think sometimes you're just shocked it's happening and you're questioning yourself. That's what happened to me, I was raised in Australia and told myself if it happened I would speak up. Even though it happened in Australia I didn't say anything, I had to keep asking myself if it was really happening, I was so confused. I think it is partially because of the culture but sometimes when things like that happen to you, you just don't know how to react

My brothers say I look like I’m going to kill someone even though I’m not actually thinking about anything in particular. I wonder why people have resting bitch faces. It’s so weird but common. Anyways, love that you made a video on this topic of safety since most people seem to not fully understand how to actually avoid dangerous situations. Though I guess we don’t always have control and something bad can happen at any time. Thanx for the video!

My friend left her brand new phone at the 7 eleven. She freaked out and we went back to the 7 eleven and the cashier handed her phone. She defiantly cried. And your right Paris is dangerous. I got my wallet picket pocket. My resident card was in my wallet. 15 mins later another person gave me back my wallet. The only thing they stole was the money. So yeah Japan is defiantly safe.

Yeah!! I love how you can get anything back in Japan! Ahh damn :( yeah when I was in Paris I made sure to hide my cash in a pocket where it was hard to get to, along with my passport and important documents. I had to be constantly alert when I was in Europe!

@@kimdao well the only problem was in Paris not Germany where I was staying. I only figured out I was being pick pocket because I felt the difference in weight of my backpack. So when I turned around the person had my phone in his hand! So that was the scariest experience ive had in a foreign country. Japan everyone was so nice specially the elderly. Cant wait to go back.😭

Oh dear :( I had a guy try to steal my phone in Korea actually. I was on a work trip and this guy was snooping around our table and yeah, he took my phone and I didn't realize. Luckily he went to a restaurant next door and I was still able to have my phone connected to wifi. I ended up using someone else's phone to log into my icloud and I turned on the "Find my iphone" alert. It was really loud and he couldn't turn it off so he ended up giving me back my phone... lol. He said he "thought it was his phone" when he was sitting no where near our table

From our Japanese point of view, countries outside of Japan are too unsafe, so there are fewer people who want to leave the country compared to other countries, even if they have a passport advantage.

I mean yes, you should say something if it happens but at the same time for those that don't, I understand how they feel. In situations like that sometimes you really don't know how to react

Unfortunately, Japan is slowly becoming less and less safe as a result of the increasing number of foreign students and foreign workers simply because Japan is safe. As a Japanese, I am saddened to see crimes committed by foreigners in the news every day. This is not racism, it's a fact.

Groping is when someone grabs someone else, for example in Japan men grope women on the train, they grab their butt or boobs and squeeze them. It usually happens with school girls but it can happen to anyone. They have created all-female train sections for women to ride and be safe.
