Current World News Comments (0)
Overall, Japan is one of the safest places anywhere. Locals and visitors alike can feel secure walking through even the narrowest back streets of big cities like Tokyo and Osaka late at night or in the wee hours of the morning. Freakish crimes like the 1995 sarin-gas attack in the Tokyo subway that was ordered by the leader of the Aum Shinrikyo cult and killed a dozen people, while injuring many others, are rare. When violent crime does occur in Japan, it really shakes people up.
