Today in Hard Hobbit To Break we are going to show you the 10 most cities safe of the list.

Tokyo Japan

The safest city on the planet according to the report is Tokyo. With more than 9.3 million inhabitants, it has a low crime rate, something that has a lot to do with the fact that there is no terrorism. The weak point of Japan's capital is infrastructure due to the danger of natural disasters.
