I live in South Florida and there is crime every day on the news. Still, I feel safe in my home thanks to impact doors and windows, alarm system, outdoor lights and ring camera. No reason to worry here, lol.

There will always be an issue wherever a person lives. If it isn't crime it is mother nature with earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, fires, etc.

The Advisory for Japan has been similar for years....Level One. (Use normal precautions.)
Here is the whole text:
Japan – Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions
Reissued after periodic review without changes.
Exercise normal precautions in Japan.
Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Japan.
If you decide to travel to Japan:
Because of a long period of playing the violin, I have no fingerprints on my left index finger. Customs and Immigration were vexed by the lack of fingerprints on my index finger, but when I offered a thumb, that worked out.
Japan is a very safe country. The only trouble I ever have there is that I simply can't read the language on signs. They use 3 separate kinds of lettering, combining Chinese ideographs, regular Japanese, and simplified Japanese.

It's crazy how LR has changed. I remember her always saying on air she is not a beach person as she would much prefer to be in Europe traveling and seeing the sites. Now it seems as though she is all in on the beach front. I really hope she stays true to herself and not feel like she has to compromise to please her new husband. The sisters are rarely spoken about now and it seems like she has chosen this new life with a 180 turn in what she enjoyed in the past. I am a little skeptical of her choices right now and it doesn't feel like she is living the life she dreamed about.

It's always good to pay attention to the warnings for travel. Heck I pay attention to my surroundings wherever I am.
I went to the USVI in the early 90's to deliver a proposal. I stayed in a hotel in a closed resort and felt relatively safe. I asked the hotel concierge to get me a taxi so I could deliver the proposal. She looked at the address and the first thing she told me was "don't let the driver leave you, have him wait". I take good advice when people offer it. I was only going to be in the building 5 to 10 minutes while I had them sign for my package.
the driver was great. He waited and then took me to Charlotte Amalie so I could be a tourist until my flight departed later in the day. I got a cab to the airport and happily everything was fine.
In my opinion these days, it's a good idea to simply be mindful of your surroundings no matter where you are.
