Morocco is an appealing destination for some Japanese travelers due to its rich cultural heritage, historical cities, and stunning landscapes. With around 500,000 Japanese tourists traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Morocco's unique charm and vibrant culture enticing for their travels.
Morocco is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Japan. According to the Global Peace Index, Morocco ranks 76th out of 160 countries, which indicates a moderate level of safety compared to Japan's high ranking at 17th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Morocco is 1.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Japan's very low rate of 0.2. While Morocco has its challenges, such as a higher incidence of certain crimes, it is important to note that many tourists visit Morocco without incident. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index shows that Morocco has a lower score for mafia groups (1.0) compared to Japan (6.5), but higher scores in areas like state crime (7.0) and cannabis trade (9.0). Overall, while Morocco is not as safe as Japan, it remains a popular tourist destination with precautions that can enhance safety for visitors.
