Is it safe for to teenagers to go to Japan alone?

Me and my best friend want to go to Japan and it probably be the two of us would it be safe?Is it safe for to teenagers to go to Japan alone?
Very safe.





When people get drunk here, they don't go out looking for a fight. Everyone drinks and minds their own business.





Don't stand too close to the platform edge. Sometimes there are loonies who want to commit suicide and take you along by accident. (rare that you'd be caught up though but just a precaution)





Not many pick pockets. You will probably never get mugged even if walking around with the equivalent of over $200 in your hand in any dark street. Of course, don't do it, it's just an example.





This is a cash society, so it's common for people to be carrying a lot of cash. No one cares about your cash. Japan is an affluent place.





If you go to any bars/clubs, especially Roppongi, watch out about drinks. Some shady bars have been known to slip knock out drugs in drinks. You won't get raped physically but when you wake up on the street the next day, your credit card will have been raped... 2-3 thousand charged on it. Usually if you walk in to a decent place, no problem. But don't go if there's some guy trying to persuade or force you in.





So in a nut shell, it's safe that you will very unlikely come to any physical harm. Even drunk young women walk home by themselves after midnight, everyday in this city.





Just don't stare at cars with black tinted windows and don't look at the guys with tatoos.





Oh and make sure you carry your passport all the time. (Of course keep a copy in your hotel just in case too). The Japanese police can be a pain and can stop you and ask you for ID at any time, no reasons.





If you are girls, don't stand near drunk guys or weird guys on the trains. Or avoid rush hour... some men get a bit touchy, feely.





PS. Don't jaywalk!! You could get creamed by a car. Coming from N.America where traffic is opposite. I almost got creamed a few times checking the wrong direction for traffic before jaywalking. I don't do it any more because it's really hard to rewire your brain to check the right direction.Is it safe for to teenagers to go to Japan alone?
Japan is generally a safe country. You'd of course still have to be wise and stay out of potentially bad situations - for instance, you don't want to go to kabukicho alone, or get drunk in roppongi at night, or leave your wallet lying around in public or anything else that common sense would dictate as potentially dangerous/stupid.


But if you're careful you'll be fine.
Japan is a very safe country, but I would add that acting stupidly, or irresponsibly can just as easily get you into trouble in Japan, as with any other country.





As long as you exercise common sense and act responsibly, nothing bad should happen. Of course, random chance always lurks just around the corner.
Yes, extremely safe. Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. They are one of the countries with the lowest crime rate.
Japan is one of the Safest Countries in the World.
