Is there a lot of crime in Hakone?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Hakone, is generally considered a safe destination for both residents and tourists. The crime rate is relatively low compared to other regions. This is in line with Japan's overall reputation as a country with low crime rates. The most common issues reported are minor offenses such as pickpocketing or lost property, which are more likely to occur in crowded tourist areas. However, these instances are still relatively rare. Visitors are advised to take standard precautions to protect their belongings. Violent crime is extremely rare, and the town is considered safe to walk around even at night," explained one expat living in Hakone, Japan.
