So the Akihabara thread lead me to an interesting and morbid subject.
I didn't know anything about the Akihabara 'massacre', and while doing some research I stumbled on some more interesting Japanese mass-murders.
I've listed some of them below:
Matsumoto incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osaka school massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akihabara massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is anyone familiar with some other strange Japanese crimes? Should I be scared to go to Akihabara?
