The Japanese Embassy in Romania has revised its "Safety Guide" to help Japanese citizens living in or visiting Romania have a safe and enjoyable stay. The guide emphasizes the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and taking precautions to prevent crime. It notes that while Romania's crime rate has decreased in recent years, the country still has a higher crime rate than Japan, with a 3% chance of being a victim of crime compared to 1% in Japan.

The guide provides tips on how to stay safe, including being mindful of one's belongings, avoiding displaying wealth, and being cautious when using taxis. It also warns against being too trusting of strangers, especially those who approach you with kindness or offers of help.

Some specific safety concerns mentioned in the guide include:

Pickpocketing and theft, especially in crowded areas and tourist spots
Robbery and assault, especially at night or in isolated areas
Scams, including taxi scams where drivers charge exorbitant fares
Terrorist threats and kidnappings

The guide also emphasizes the importance of being prepared for emergencies, including having a plan for what to do in case of a natural disaster or other crisis, and knowing how to contact the Japanese Embassy or local authorities for help.

Overall, the guide aims to provide Japanese citizens with the information and advice they need to stay safe and enjoy their time in Romania.
