Verify addresses on the official embassy site before traveling — embassies move occasionally.

Almost none. Japan is one of the safest countries on Earth. Watch out for 'massage' touts in Roppongi (often scams).

Save your embassy's contact in your phone before you travel — country code + number.
Register your trip with your government if you're a US citizen (STEP — step.state.gov), UK (FCDO advice), or Australian (Smartraveller). Free, takes 5 min.
Take photos of your passport and store them in cloud + email it to yourself. Replacements are much faster with a copy.
Travel insurance with medical evacuation — check the coverage limit. $100,000+ medical, $250,000+ evacuation are the realistic minimums for serious incidents abroad.
Know the difference between the police and tourist police. When dealing with regular police in a non-English-speaking country, ask for someone who speaks English (or your language) — many will have a translator on call.
