Incidents of crime in general are rare in Japan because of their culture.
Okay, let's look at that.
They don't have poverty because they have extensive social programs.
Full employment is considered a policy goal, no matter what.
They don't allow average citizens to own guns because that would be stupid. (Guns have actually been banned in Japan since the Meiji restoration!)
They make sure their mentally ill and addicts get treatment.
In the US, we make it easier to get a gun than it is to get housing, a job, addiction treatment or mental health care. Then we wonder why we are having crazy people shooting up parades, malls, schools, etc.
