Japan is an introvert’s heaven- If you’re afraid of eating and doing activities on your own, know that it is the norm here! Most restaurants and cafes even provide solo seating booths and there are plenty of capsule hotels all around Japan catering for solo travellers 2. Avoid certain areas past 8PM- Despite being a safe country, there are certain areas in major cities known for their higher crime rate and incidents
