Japan is very safe; watch for occasional earthquakes and stay aware of train platform etiquette. Keep an eye on personal belongings in crowded areas.

Sitten und Bräuche

Remove shoes when entering homes and some temples, speak softly, and avoid eating while walking. Dress modestly at shrines and never point with your finger.
