Germany offers a compelling mix of cultural heritage, modern amenities, and varied attractions, making it a significant destination for global travelers. Its historical sites, such as the Berlin Wall and Neuschwanstein Castle, attract millions of visitors annually. Among the approximately 500,000 Japanese traveling abroad each year, a portion may find Germany particularly appealing.
Germany is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Japan. According to the Global Peace Index, Germany ranks 20th out of 160 countries, making it one of the safest countries globally, comparable to Japan, which ranks 17th. However, when looking at safety while walking alone at night, Germany ranks 29th among 40 European countries, indicating some concerns in this area. In terms of crime statistics, Germany has a murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Japan's very low rate of 0.2. Organized crime indices show that while Germany has some challenges, it generally has lower scores in state crime and flora crime compared to Japan. Overall, while there are differences in specific crime rates, Germany remains a safe destination for Japanese tourists.
