安全保卫工作在Japan
个人安全
The crime rate is low in this country, and most travellers have no safety or security trouble. Travelers are advised to remain vigilant in the districts of Kabukicho, Roppongi, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro. With respect to your personal safety, be as cautious and aware of your surroundings as you would be at home. Public transportation is usually safe. Walking at night is normally safe.
There have been reports of tourists having their drinks drugged and experiencing credit card fraud, particularly in the Roppongi and Kabuki-cho districts of Tokyo. Never leave drinks unattended and pay attention to the way drinks are prepared and served. Avoid carrying credit cards or large amounts of cash in nightclubs in this area.
After the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, there was extensive structural damage and loss of life, as well as a risk of nuclear radiation in northeast Japan. However, areas outside of the Japanese evacuation zone are not subject to radiation levels associated with a health risk, and most areas of the country have returned to normal.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and volcanic activity can occur in Japan. Follow updates from the Japan Meteorological Agency closely for information about natural disasters.
If visiting Japan for less than 90 days, you must carry your passport with you at all times.
Tension with North Korea persists and could escalate without warning.
Exercise caution if participating in mountain climbing or other outdoor adventure activities. Always do so with a group or an experienced guide. Climbing Mount Fuji is not advised during the off-season (September-June) due to higher safety risks. Ensure travel and medical insurance is purchased before departing and ensure your insurance policy covers outdoor adventure activities.
Driving in Japan is generally safe, however, during winter months, heavy snowfall may make driving dangerous.
It is illegal to smoke in the streets of some parts of Tokyo and other cities.
There are strict regulations for importing medication, including prescription medication for allergies. Consult Japanese authorities for more detailed information.
Same-sex sexual activity is legal in Japan but same-sex marriage is not. Nevertheless, LGBTI travellers are unlikely to experience discrimination. All travellers should note, however, that public displays of affection should be avoided in respect of the country’s customs.
极端暴力
There is no recent history of terrorism. However, regional tension with neighbours such as China and North Korea can impact the security situation at any time. This include random missile launches by North Korea. For such a situation, ‘take shelter’ alerts have been issued in parts of Japan.
政治动荡
Protests and demonstrations are rare in Japan. However, pro-nationalist demonstrations have taken place and can involve hostility for foreign countries. Minimize safety risk by avoiding any large public or political gatherings.
