This is Silly season of well lets say sour grapes. US has beautiful cities and as far as crime rate goes, I would suggest to watch "Freakanomics" to see how Tokyo police department achieves 96% conviction rate in murders. May be Tokyo is really safe. I am happy that haters like you stay out of US, I would be more sure that the person next to me is not carrying a bomb.
Tokyo safe?You know what happened there with the yakuza?
