Answer:

In short, Japan is a comparatively comfort place in the world
if you don't care about some quakes, I bet.
Yes, tragically, the massive quake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan
the other day.
But it's a rare case, one that happens once in 3 centuries.

By the way, here in Japan, in reality, murders or thefts are reported on
TV or in the newspapers,but it's not so often.
As for me, I've never heard or seen that kind of incidents on the spot,
neither in the main street nor in the back street firsthand
( with own my eyes or ears).

If you know and try some Japanese such as greetings, they'll surely
welcome and be kind to you!
