Planning a trip to Japan soon? ⚠️ The Chinese Embassy in Japan has issued a safety alert for Chinese citizens after a recent rise in violent incidents across some regions.
According to the embassy’s notice released on January 3, 2026, unprovoked verbal abuses and assaults have been reported in Fukuoka, Shizuoka, and Aichi prefectures. On December 31, 2025, a vehicle-ramming incident in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward injured two Chinese nationals, who are now recovering in hospital.
The embassy advises Chinese travelers to monitor local security updates, stay vigilant—especially in crowded areas—and strengthen personal safety measures. Tips include sharing your itinerary with friends, avoiding late-night solo outings, and keeping emergency contacts on speed dial.
If you face harassment or attacks, preserve evidence—such as photos or videos—report the incident to local police without delay, and contact the Chinese Embassy or consulates in Japan for assistance. It’s better to be prepared and stay safe! 🛂🤝
For support, reach out to the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo or consulates in Osaka and Nagoya. Safe travels and stay alert out there, explorers! 🌏✈️
