CHIKAN: molestation on trains is NO JOKE in Japan! How to deal with/protect yourself from molesters

You might have an image that Japan is a very safe country with hardly any crimes. But if you take a closer look, the reality might be a bit different.

One of the things that is especially frightening is the molestation on trains called “痴漢 chikan” in Japanese, which is often brought up as a social problem. It is said that Japan has the most number of chikan incidents in the whole world...

However, to be completely honest with you, it never occurred to me to talk about this until I received a request for a video about this topic. In order to make this video I did quite a lot of studying, and now I am very serious that I want to share with you what I’ve learned and want everyone to be able to protect themselves from crimes.

So today, I will talk about the current situation of chikan molestation on trains in Japan, and also why there are so many incidents. At the end of the video, I will explain the 3 things that you can do
to protect yourself from these criminals, so if you are hoping to come to Japan someday in the future, be sure to watch this video till the end.

Please share in the comments about what your thoughts areon how to prevent or lessen these terrible crimes.
