1. Specific examples of safety measures
(1) Measures to take at home and when away from home: ・Thoroughly lock your doors and windows: Please be sure to lock all windows and doors in your home. There have been cases of break-ins even on high floors, so please do not forget to lock balconies and other areas.
・Information management: When you are away for an extended period of time, such as on vacation, please avoid informing housekeepers, security guards, etc. of the fact that you will be away or the detailed schedule of your absence. This is to eliminate the risk of being tipped off (colluded with) by someone with inside knowledge.
・Office security: There have been cases where office break-ins have come to light after the New Year holidays. Please take care not to leave valuables or important documents in the office.
(2) Measures to take when traveling: Always lock and be on guard: Always lock all doors and close the windows while in your vehicle. Never use a cell phone with the window open, as this makes you a target for snatch thefts.
・No items left inside the vehicle: When parking, do not leave any bags, coins, etc. in places that can be seen from outside the vehicle. Even small items can cause the window glass to break.
・Beware of traffic accidents: During this time, road manners tend to deteriorate and accidents caused by drunk driving increase. Please pay close attention to the movements of vehicles around you and drive defensively.
(3) Measures to take when going out or walking: Prohibition of using a smartphone while walking: Using a mobile phone while walking reduces your vigilance towards your surroundings, making you an easy target.
- Act discreetly: Avoid wearing flashy clothing or jewelry, and carry only the minimum amount of cash and cards necessary.
- Avoid crowds and isolation: Be wary of pickpockets in crowded places such as markets, and avoid travelling in places and at times with little foot traffic (night or early morning).
・How to deal with police officers: There have been reports of extortion and false accusations by people posing as police officers. If you encounter a suspicious checkpoint or other incident, do not get off the vehicle easily, but carefully check your surroundings.
3. If you are a victim of a robbery or other crime, please be aware that the perpetrator is likely to be carrying a weapon such as a gun or knife, so please put your personal safety first and do not resist under any circumstances.
Please make "protecting your life" your top priority, rather than money or valuables.
4. Contact Information If you are a victim of fraud or if an emergency occurs, please contact the museum immediately.
