Traveling Japan for Americans

[ligidobastian]

"No danger whatsoever" - famous last words

[alexkg]

There are definitely homeless people in Japan. They just kind of blend into the corners and are not allowed to actively pander for money.

This is a reminder that if you travel to another country, just because their culture is friendly, you still have to keep yourself safe as a visitor because danger can be anywhere. You are not familiar with the place and the wrong person will pick up on that.

[DeadCell]

Her biggest culture shock is recycling 😂💀💀😂

Women do get molested on trains, in bars, and at night but it is heavily under-reported and under-punished. It is usually safer in Japan than in America but do not go to Japan thinking you don’t have to be careful.

[jesuis]

She is so naive... I hope she continues to be safe

[shahjehan]

She’s naive. She needs to be situationally aware especially at night around bars and men.

[bsane]

Japan is the most disciplined democracy the world has ever know - after WWII.

I lived in Japan for a few years (not military) the most humble and kind people you’ll ever meet. They’ll just talk behind your back at home.

[rip]

They're judging you behind those nice smiles.

[ImReca]

A perfect example of the difference between living somewhere vs visiting.

[S_Team]

I wouldn’t say no danger but I’m glad she’s okay

[juanpablorapalino]

She hasn't meet a group of drank Japanese businessman after a 14 hour shift

[onion]

As a Japanese I can tell you this, we are “nice” just for face.



Edit: da fuk my comment section became a warzone

Edit 2: y’all can choose to believe me or not I don’t care lol

[BboyZoinks]

Don’t listen to her people, always be aware

[Robert-wbok]

As an American when I walk into a real Japanese restaurant in the U.S. they look at me like I'm a foreigner 😂

[nicko]

She brought the Western dress code to Japan 😂

[ronaldk.wileyjr.]

Everyone is safe, until you get caught "slippin". Be aware... always.

[rdytogo]

I am korean and i travelled America by bicycle, Every American was so nice to me and very kind. not only in japan there are many nice peoples in the world.

[chinnjk]

Still be careful girl. Bad people hide in shadows everywhere. But yes, Japan has a much safer & clean feeling :)

Every country I have visited since I was a 16 yr old backpacker(I am 65 yrs old now)has been astonishing with their welcoming into their village/town/city...I just love the excitement of a new place to visit, my curiosity of other cultures has no ending...👍
