Financial Crime in Osaka Japan

Get Street-Level Insights

Osaka is a bustling metropolis known for its modern architecture, nightlife, and hearty street food. While it's a generally safe city, like any urban area, it has instances of crime in Osaka that visitors should be aware of. In recent years, Osaka has seen a decrease in crime rates, adapting various measures to ensure public safety. The city's commitment to safety is evident in the visible police presence and the use of surveillance cameras in many parts of the city. Historically, Osaka has been a merchant city, which has contributed to its open and welcoming atmosphere. However, large crowds during festivals or sporting events can lead to petty crimes like pickpocketing. Protests in Osaka are typically peaceful, though it's wise for tourists to stay aware of their surroundings during such events.

Local Security Tips

  • Osaka Castle: Keep personal belongings close and be wary of scams targeting tourists.
  • Dotonbori: Be cautious with personal bags while navigating the crowded streets, especially at night.
  • Universal Studios Japan: Use lockers provided for valuables and remain alert in the packed theme park.
  • Umeda Sky Building: Stick to well-traveled areas and avoid less populated parts of the complex, especially after dark.

Local Regulations

Firearm Policy

Firearms are strictly regulated in Japan. Civilians are generally not allowed to possess, carry, or use firearms. 

Public Drinking Policy

Public drinking is allowed in Japan, but it's expected to be done responsibly. Drinking on the streets and in parks is common during festivals, though one should avoid causing disturbances.
