Be Safe in Osaka

Visitors are likely to find the city as safe and hassle-free as the rest of Japan. The low incidence of theft and crime is well-known, although theft does exist and its rarity is no reason to be careless. In Osaka, as in other Japanese cities, the sheer volume of noise can be overwhelming, so earplugs can help when trying to sleep.
