Rape is way more common in most western countries than in Japan!
As a woman, you can walk in the middle of the night through a drinking area like Kabuki cho and be completely safe from rape. Bit of street harassment from FOREIGNERS mostly but thats about it.
I feel completely safe here.
I agree, but I would make the small argument that rapes/abuse still happen a lot in Japan. A lot of rape and domestic violence cases aren't even reported to the police because the girl doesn't want to make a stand or there's no awareness that abuse/rape happened. I know several college girls in my inner circle that got drunk at college group parties and raped by guys they had no intention of having sex with. Still, this kind of thing can be said about any country.
Japan is a relatively safer in my mind.
