Japan is Safe
Japan is renowned not only for its stunning landscapes and rich culture but also for being a haven for both its residents and their belongings. It’s not uncommon to hear stories of individuals who have lost their wallets, jewelry, phones, or other valuables, only to have them swiftly returned in their entirety. Wallets are returned with their contents intact, purses and bags are handed back without a single item missing, and lost cash is dutifully turned over to the police.
This culture of trust and honesty extends beyond the obvious, covering items like keys, clothing, shoes, and canes, which are typically returned unharmed. In Japan, the commitment to honesty and the belief in “finders, keepers” are deeply ingrained in society.
