Japan Has a Curfew - And It Saves Lives - Let's Talk About That "Last Train"

 In 2005 I was hit with a pretty surprising culture shock when I got into Tokyo for the first time. One that has stayed with me for just shy of 15 years at this point. On the surface, it seems like a moderately inconvenient puzzle that is simply part of the fabric of Japan, but as we look deeper into the topic... lives are being saved by one very simple thing; The Last Train. In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about something that puzzled me for longer than I wanted to admit. Until one day I went down the rabbit hole. Then I got distracted, and talked a lot about rabbit holes... There's a short article in this podcast: https://japantoday.com/category/national/Last-train-on-Yamanote-line-in-Tokyo-to-leave-27-minutes-earlier ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also...
