🌍 Where’s Safe to Travel?: Japan & El Salvador (September 2025)
By Michelle Marks - Dragon Wolf Travel
When planning a trip, one of the first questions travelers ask is: “Is it safe to go?” That’s where travel advisories and travel warnings come in. Each week, we highlight two destinations — one popular, one a hidden gem — and explain what the latest U.S. State Department travel advisory means for your plans.
This week’s picks: 🇯🇵 Japan and 🇸🇻 El Salvador.
🇯🇵 Japan – Safe. Stunning. Timeless.

Travel Advisory: Japan is currently listed as Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions.
That means it’s one of the safest destinations to explore in 2025.
Why Visit Now
Japan blends ancient tradition with cutting-edge modern life. In one trip you can:
Wander through bamboo forests and temples in Kyoto.
Experience neon-lit nights and world-class dining in Tokyo.
Ride the famous Shinkansen bullet train between cities.
Discover seasonal delights — cherry blossoms in spring, fall colors in November.
For travelers wondering “Is Japan safe to visit in 2025?” the answer is yes. With its Level 1 status, Japan remains a top choice for culture, safety, and unforgettable experiences.
🇸🇻 El Salvador – Hidden Gem, Wide Open

Travel Advisory: El Salvador is also listed as Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions.
This makes it a surprising safe gem in Central America right now.
Why Visit Now
Often overlooked, El Salvador is quickly winning over travelers with its mix of nature, adventure, and charm:
Hike scenic volcanoes like Santa Ana.
Relax on black-sand beaches along the Pacific.
Stroll through colorful colonial towns such as Suchitoto.
Explore surf towns like El Tunco, famous for their laid-back vibe.
If you’ve been asking “Is El Salvador safe to travel now?” — the current Level 1 designation says yes. It’s ready to welcome visitors seeking something authentic, adventurous, and affordable.
🌍 Why Travel Advisories Matter
Travel advisories aren’t warnings to stay home — they’re tools to help you travel smarter. A Level 1 advisory (like Japan and El Salvador) means normal precautions, the same common-sense steps you’d take anywhere.
Other destinations may be listed at Level 2 or higher, often due to specific regions or circumstances. That’s where planning with a travel advisor comes in — so you know exactly which areas are best to explore and how to travel with confidence.
