Looking to travel to Japan in the summer of 07' as a graduation gift to myself. But... my friends all have plans of their own so am contemplating on going there on my own for 2-3 weeks. Just backpacking my way around Japan. I just wanted to know, will it be safe for a solo woman traveller to travel around Japan? And how much budget should i be on for the wks i intend to stay there?
Thanks! (^_^)
Answer
Japan is one of the safest countries for a single female traveler, if not the safest. Violent crimes against foreigners are very rare, of course, with any situation bad things can happen, so do not drop your guard just in case. here are some stats I found on the internet, comparing crime to other countries:
Murders per 100,000.
1. Russia Federation 18.07
2. United States 6.32
3. Malaysia 2.73
Taiwan 1.17
Spain 1.08
Japan 0.58
Rape per 100,000.
1. United States 34.20
2. England and Wales 14.69
3. France 13.38
Taiwan 8.82
South Korea 4.38
Spain 3.23
Japan 1.48
Serious Assault per 100,000.
1. Australia 713.68
2. England & Wales 405.20
3. United States 357.94
Taiwan 37.30
Spain 23.94
Japan 15.40
Robbery/Violent Theft per 100,000.
1. Spain 169.85
2. United States 169.02
3. France 144.10
Taiwan 14.35
South Korea 11.74
Japan 2.71
-------------
As far as spending money, I would, just to be on the safe side plan on around 100-150 a day since you are travelling and might need to find a hotel if you can't find a youth hostel or some other budget travel, and if you don't spend that much, can you say a nice spending spree on your last few days there before hopping on the plane?
