Thirty years ago, March 20, 1995, marked one of Japan’s darkest days — when the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult unleashed a deadly sarin gas attack on Tokyo’s subway system. In this episode of Japan Today Spotlight, we look back on the 30th anniversary of the attack, explore the devastating effects on the victims, its societal impact and how Japan remembers this tragic event today.
