Chicago Public Transit question

We have a one day layover at ORD and we are planning to take the subway downtown to walk the Magnificent Mile ( I think that's what it's called ). From what I can make out we should take the Blue line from the airport and get off at Washington. From there it looks like we can walk. Normally we only stop at West Coast cities where we feel very comfortable. But the only thing we know about Chicago is that it is very dangerous, especially considering us coming from a very safe Japan. Is it safe to walk from the train stop to our destination? There does not seem a direct way to get to Michigan Ave. I guess if you are from Chicago you laugh about this post, but we are really a bit concerned and debate if we should make the trek downtown or stay at the Hilton for the day.
