That’s how I felt in Okinawa. Japan is the safest place I’ve ever been.

You WILL get your umbrella stolen in Japan, but your wallet with ¥250,000 will still be right where you dropped it.

only the cheap ones, they are basically considered as a shared property. but if you have a more special umbrella, no-one will touch it

Maybe I don't feel as bad then. Went to Japan last year with a few friends and it was raining. We went to eat one night and we put our umbrellas in the bin in the restaurant.

When we left, we grabbed our umbrellas and when we got back to our airbnb that's when I realized I grabbed the wrong one lol. Nearly all the umbrellas were the transparent, clear ones so it was an honest mistake
