Sexual harassment on train in Japan

How it works:

• There is a risk of groping due to the insanely crowded and packed trains (some at 160% capacity!).
• In fact, it was estimated that ~70% of high school girls in Japan have a been a victim once. Watch out during morning and evening rush hours.

Places to beware:

• Anywhere (e.g. Tokyo: Sakiyo line)

What to do:

• If you are violated, shout “Chikan” which means pervert in Japanese.
