🛟 How to enjoy it safely
- Keep moving in narrow alleys, stairs and slopes; if a lane fills up, go around via a main street.
- If you feel pushed, don't fight the flow — step out to a side street. Keeping your arms in front of your chest gives you room to breathe.
- Agree on a meeting point and time with your group, and keep your phone charged.
- Follow police and safety staff and one-way signs. If a subway exit is packed, use the next one.
- Emergencies: 119 (ambulance/fire) · 112 (police) · 1330 (tourist helpline, English/Chinese/Japanese). The nearest ER is listed in the app under Things to do → Safety.
