Guys, anyone knows cheap-ish and safe accomodations in Tokyo for a woman traveling alone? Is airbnb a good idea?

your mother is worrying too much. japan is one of the safest places out there, and people say it all the time because well, it's true. i actually feel safe going out alone at night compared to where i live (even tho the crime rate is pretty low). i mean, of course you should still be alert, but as long as you avoid the red light district area or any of those sketchy places you should be totally fine.

well, there is sex trafficking but unless you're desperately accepting job/marriage offers from strangers you're not really the ideal victim... tourists aren't the target, instead it's girls in bad financial situations. for tourists the biggest prostitution-related problem is idiot foreigners who go to host.hostess clubs and get ripped off. but i know nothing can assuage a mother's worry easily so make sure you get pocket wi-fi or a sim card so you can check in as often as possible. just be confident and choose a place that you like the looks of because i'm sure you will be fine c:
