Exercise increased caution

Overview 

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. Japan is located near the Korean Peninsula, where North Korea has done nuclear and ballistic missile tests, which could affect Japan.  

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Japan should be aware of are: 

  • Crime—watch out for petty crime, such as theft and drink-spiking, especially in Tokyo’s entertainment districts. 
  • Natural disasters—download the NHK World-Japan app for updates. 

See below for detailed travel advice.
