For a tourist Japan is safe, and almost any country on the planet in comparison is more dangerous. The difference is Japan still has social morals which sadly are lacking in New Zealand or any other country like Australia, England, the US etc. 99.99% of tourists to Japan leave thinking it is the safest place in the world. The same cannot be said for Japanese travelling overseas. As the Japanese are generally too trusting due to the safety of their own country a warning is appropriate. Ignorance from the Auckland mayor about Japanese people is not going to help the situation but working to make New Zealand as safe as Japan could do wonders for its image worldwide. If New Zealand loses it green clean safe image then expect fallout.

Instead of assuring people to control these kinds activities..... Mayor talking to use their common sense is "SHAME"......Drinking in street and allowing people to be drunk on restaurant, pubs and bars are not acceptable and where is Liquor inspectors....having sleep...

It used to be quite safe when the previous mayor cracked down on drinking in the streets and boy racers, but it sadly seems to have gone downhill again....
