I would like to know about the recent security situation in Hawaii, especially in Waikiki !
I am thinking of living in Waikiki for a year or so, but I am worried about the gun society. I would like to know what it is like at night because I go home at 23:00 or so.
I've heard news about even tourists being victimized, so if you have any advice on how to survive the year, please let me know !.

Hello.
I also live in the Waikiki area and I must admit that I am still concerned about security.
You should avoid going out alone in Waikiki at 23:00, especially if you are a woman, and I would not be at all surprised if you get into some
kind of trouble.
As has been written, there are also guns, and not a few crimes involving theft, robbery, and illegal drugs.


The ideal response would be to drive from work to the house parking lot
( preferably inside security and off limits to outsiders ) if you must travel at night.
It may be difficult to bear the cost of a car just to get around Waikiki.
Also, to be realistic, avoid wearing clothes that would identify you as Japanese at a glance, do not travel alone, and
do not choose a type of house that can be easily entered from the outside.


Here is a site that reports on crime in Hawaii.
https://www.crimemapping.com/map/location/HONOLULU,%20Hawaii%2096817
You can also see what kind of crimes are common and what areas are prominent.


Hawaii is a relatively safe place in the U.S., but I think that you can protect yourself in the future if you are careful and
aware of the security situation before coming to the U.S., like SERINA. If you have any more problems, please do not hesitate to ask us.

It's not only in Waikiki, but it's better not to walk alone at night.
Even tourists are targeted, not just tourists !.

Topix Hello.
What kind of job position do you have in Waikiki that ends at 11pm ?
I think you should tell the company you are working for.
I would not recommend a company that cannot ensure the safety of their employees.

Over 6 months ago, a woman was attacked while walking alone at 9pm in Ala Moana.
She said the attacker was fresh out of jail.

As everyone has said, don't walk alone at night.

I drive all my transportation.
