Hmm..according to dad, there are alot of underworld related violence and murders in Shinjuku. I haven't a clue myself though, I've felt safe everywhere in Japan.

Hey, thanks! I've been living in Shinjuku for nearly 20 years and I'm still in one piece! :)

Yeah, maybe, if you are a gangster. Are you a gangster? If not, then no offense, but you can tell your dad that the Japanese mafia really don't make any money off knocking off random gaijin, but would sure bring a lot of attention to themselves if they did. Gaijin in Shinjuku are about as safe as the Pope in the Pope-mobile if their fear is the Japanese mafia.

bahaha !:D

A travel guide I read made out that Shinjuku is really dangerous, and you should never venture there at night, if you're a western woman, if you're alone, and especially stay away from dark allyways...
but my sister (who is a 15 year old white female) just got back from a school trip to Japan where they let them roam the streets of Shinjuku at night. She came home in one piece.:p

I wonder what made me bring up a topic on underworld operations :confused: Foolishness on my part, not dad though.

I wonder how safe the pope-mobile really is. Surely he would be safer in the batmobile. Unless the pope-mobile can fly and has heat seeking missiles. That would be sweet, the pope dropping bombs.

It's more than just a fiberglass golfcart. But I dare not say more... (hint: Laser-guided bee cannon).

Belive it or not, the only unsafe places in japan are by military bases. Shinjuku is safer then Roppongi and Roppongi is just a bunch of africans asking if you want to see some naked women....or men...whatever you like. Japanese guys are paper thin. If you take a look at my profile you will see the car i drive. I actually left it in the middle of kabuki cho unlocked for about 3 hours and all i got was a ticket by the parking ninjas.

Safe unless you unfortunate enough to considered the prime suspect by the police for a serious crime in which the 98% conviction rate speaks for itself.
