Is Japan Dangerous?

Japan is a pretty safe place. Been their a couple times to visit relatives and everywhere I went their were only nice people. Also with the nuclear power plant as long as you don't go within 20 km(12.4 miles) of the plant then you will be pretty safe. They are also monitoring the food within certain prefectures and in areas with radionuclides(Radiation) exceeding good health readings so it's pretty safe to travel. I'm about to go their myself!

I haven't been to Japan (yet) but I've searched the interwebz with this same question. Basically I found out that Japan's safe rate at day is about 89% and at night it is estimated to be 87%; which is freakin' awesome considering it's one of the largest Metropolitan in the world. It for some reason also said the main thing people fear the most is having their car breaking into? o_O But anyways, I guess it's safe to say that nature with it's earthquakes and floods and such are the only "fearful," proposal threats rather then some psychopath. ^^

LOL regarding that I think the japanese gov't is still hating tepco for the nuclear disaster at fukushima. They're not even doing anything about it! the radiation is continuously a threat here specially with regards to water being contaminated by the leak. But thankfully the radiation is weak at the parts away from the fukushima powerplant. you might find this article informative http://www.japantravelinfo.com/news/news_item.php?newsid=431 you should also research the radiation level on the city/place you're planning to visit ^_^ so far tokyo doesn't have harmful radiation levels :D

Just got back from Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. Walking around the bars in Shinjuku and other areas around Tokyo till 5 in the morning and never felt unsafe. The only thing that I notices was the Nigerians trying to get us in their shady nightclubs, but they were just annoying and sometimes funny. Had one just walk up to me and look me in the eyes and all he said was "Tittys". Never laughed so hard in my life.
