  Not really curious at all....just a way to justify charging you ¥500 or so for the 'sit charge'.

  Anything must be better than having to drive through twenty or so sets of flippin' traffic lights every 5km or so!

  One of the reasons Japan continues to hunt whales is precisely because other countries kick up such a stink about it. Japan won't be dictated to by non-Japanese. If there were no international furore, Japan probably would have ceased whaling years ago, for purely economic reasons.

  Has it escaped everyone that the backdrop of this range is SOLID ROCK ?; I would think TWICE about going to THIS shooting range.

  That's because it's a range for shooting skeet/trap, not a rifle range. These are much more common in Japan than rifle ranges.

  With all these people turning themselves in, one wonders what the police actually do all day in this country.
