Note: hate using Wiki, but the studies were in the article making this easier. If you notice in the second link, the conviction rate of US soldiers is lower than that of locals.
Also, the "hot bed for crime" in Japan is Osaka, where there are no US Naval bases. Osaka has a lot of foreigners, but nowhere near the breadth and number that Tokyo has.
Japan is a safe county because it is populated by 98% of East Asians with a specific culture, which combine for that result.
That and they're racist enough to keep it that way.
Also the main source of blacks in the country. Go figure.
The "mainland" Japanese don't consider Okinawans to be people, which is why they chose that island to house the US Naval base.
I actually looked this up before.
US servicemember actually committed way less crime than the locals both in actual number and per capita.
So usually, blacks causing crimes would be the case, but not the case for Japan.
