Love this post! I spent some time travelling by myself in Japan in 2018, and fell so in love with this incredibly unique country. You post brought back so many memories <3

My sister and I are planning to travel to Japan this coming summer. We are looking for a travel guide that can help us in organizing our travel itinerary that will suit our budget. We want to enjoy the whole trip even if it is just budgeted. Thanks for letting me know that we have to secure a proof on hand for the flight or boat ticket out of Japan when we leave the country. Cheers!

So thankful I found this! I am feeling more confident about my coming solo travel to Japan. I will be there the beginning of July for 3-4 days. Not a planner, so this is a big challenge for me.

In reply to Tatt Payne. Hello Tatt! Fingers crossed you're now in Japan and having an amazing time! Please do not let these things put you off. Japan is an amazing country and we cannot let these things stop us from exploring the world. I recommend you read my Solo Female Travel Safety Tips and check out my Security Devices blog post too. There are many good people in this world who will help you out too if you are feeling unsure somewhere. Trust your gut, ask for help when you need it and have a brilliant time!

Hi,
I am planning to visit Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Mt.Fuji Hakone) as a first time solo woman for 3 weeks. Thinking maybe from the end of March to mid April (leave before that Golden week started). Do you think it is a good time?
Also I m worried about Groping, Dragging, Approaching women on streets or even stalking ( been watching many Youtube videos of other women talking out their experiences). Any tips?
Thank you
Tatt (USA)
