@momomoko_jp: Japan is one of the safest countries on earth. These five still happen to visitors, and each one takes a single habit to avoid: 🍸 1 AM — the friendly tout. Kabukicho or Roppongi, someone in English says "cheap drinks, come in." Shinjuku police reports this year average about ¥1,000,000 per bill. Never follow a street tout, pick the bar yourself, keep your drink in your hand 🚃 8 AM — groping on trains. About half of groping arrests happen on trains, most in the morning rush. Say it loud: ちかん！(chikan). Tell station staff. Women-only cars run in the rush — look for the pink signs 📱 THE STATION — secret filming on stairs and escalators. Police made 1,686 arrests for it inside stations in 2025. Hold your bag behind you; say とらないでください (toranaide kudasai) = don't film me, and tell staff. It's been a crime here since 2023 🙏 THE TEMPLE — the "monk" who hands you a charm, then asks for ¥10,000. Don't take anything handed to you on the street 🚲 THE KONBINI — nearly 1 in 4 crimes in Japan is a stolen bike. Two locks, every time. Umbrellas walk off too And if you drop your wallet? Tokyo police returned ¥3.2 billion in lost cash to its owners last year. Save this before your trip 🔖 📲 Practice ちかん！ and とらないでください out loud — search "Kana Language Partner" in your app store Which one surprised you? 👇 #japantravel #japansafety #tokyotravel
