Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, which means you could experience one during your travels. But don’t worry, a lot of the time they are minor and harmless. You should also know that the country’s extensive experience with earthquakes has prompted the creation and integration of highly functional systems like having some of the strictest building codes in the world and the government regularly conducting simulations to investigate readiness as well as areas of improvement.
With that said however, preparedness is key. There are numerous online resources where you can learn what to do before, during and after an earthquake. If you’re in Tokyo, a visit to the Life Safety Learning Center can teach you a lot about disaster preparedness in interactive ways such as earthquake simulations and emergency first-aid exercises.
