I’m shocked and saddened by the violent, apparently random attack at JR Nagano station yesterday evening.
My wife is from Nagano City and I consider it my 2nd home in Japan. I always arrive to such a peaceful, pleasant vibe.
The attacker is still at large.

Search for suspect underway after fatal stabbing at Nagano Station
One person died in the attack, which happened around 8 p.m., while two others sustained injuries.
