In case of an earthquake

Unfortunately Japan is not free from earthquakes and we cannot tell when the next one is coming. Just in case it happens while you are there, read this page from the Canadian government and form a plan what to do if that happens.

However, you should also remember that all buildings are built to withstand strong quakes under very strict standards and they have survived past earthquakes. If you don’t panic, it is unlikely that earthquake itself will cause too much damage.
