We provide Security and Bodyguard Services in Japan
Intelligent Protection offers comprehensive Bodyguard Services in Japan, catering to both business travelers and those visiting Japan for leisure. Our team provides discreet and professional security services to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients throughout their stay.
While Japan is generally considered a safe country for Western visitors, some security concerns do exist. Although crime rates against foreigners are relatively low, Japan has experienced incidents of terrorism. The most recent attack occurred on January 1, 2019, when a vehicle-borne assault in Tokyo resulted in nine people being injured. The most severe attack in recent history was the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack in 1995, which tragically killed 12 people and injured approximately 1,050 others.
Our Bodyguard and Security Services cover the entirety of Japan and extend beyond, ensuring comprehensive protection in all areas. We primarily operate in major cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Kobe, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Kawasaki, and Saitama. If you inform us of your travel plans, we can customize a security strategy tailored to your needs and begin monitoring your destinations for any potential changes in risk. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your business or enjoy your vacation with confidence.
An integral part of our Security and Bodyguard Services for Japan is our monitoring of intelligence, news sources and social media; these are the backbone of our travel advisories that we provide all clients. For the latest travel advisory for Japan, see our page Japan Travel Advice for further details.
Language can be a significant barrier in Japan, as a relatively small percentage of the population speaks English fluently. This language gap can present challenges for visitors, especially when navigating daily activities, conducting business, or understanding cultural nuances. To help our clients communicate effectively and avoid any potential misunderstandings, we highly recommend employing a local translator.
Intelligent Protection can arrange for a professional translator who is not only fluent in English and Japanese but also well-versed in the local culture and etiquette. This service ensures smooth communication in both business and personal settings, providing our clients with greater ease and confidence during their stay in Japan.
We can provide a range of services to support our Bodyguard Services in Japan, and these services include:
- Residential Security
- Risk Management
- Secure Ground Transportation
- Personal Medical Officers
- Vehicle Tracking
- Technical Security & CCTV
- Technical Surveillance Countermeasures

In 2022, Intelligent Protection provided Bodyguard Services to a UK Football star who was visiting Tokyo, Japan, for a week.
This was a high-profile visit, and our previous experience told us that fans tend to be very excitable in Japan. There is a concern about crowd sizes, crush injuries, etc. Just moving from hotel to vehicle, etc., can become very difficult.
We deployed a six-operative team from the UK, four males and two females. We worked alongside two Japanese Close Protection officers and a team of drivers. The visit went well, and there were no issues.

A returning corporate client who we previously supported in Tokyo wanted to come back to Japan but this time with their family. They had arranged to visit Fuji Hakone National Park, Mount Fuji and Osaka.
The distances between each location were quite substantial but they wanted to drive so they could take in the scenic views and surroundings.
Our clients flew into Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport where our team met them and escorted them over the following 3 weeks, we made sure they were safe and secure whilst travelling at times for periods of 5 hours and roaming the streets of Osaka.
The group departed from Osaka International Airport safely and have used us again since in Africa and Europe.
