infoViolent crime isn't disclosed at the neighborhood level, so it isn't reflected in this score.

The local force publishes only a total for this block — 3 reported offences a year, without a breakdown by offence type. Annual counts per neighborhood from Metropolitan and prefectural police open data. Counts run higher where daytime foot traffic is heavy, so for a per-resident view see sonar's safety score (population-normalized). See the Fukuoka safety ranking →
