SAFETY NOTES

01One of the safest megacities on Earth — violent crime is rare, lost wallets often get returned.
02Avoid the touts and 'free drink' bars in Kabukichō (Shinjuku) — bill-padding scams are common.
03Earthquake-prone: know your hotel's evacuation map; download the NHK World or Yurekuru alert app.
04IC card (Suica/Pasmo) covers metro, JR and most buses — far simpler than buying tickets each ride.
