My well wishes and prayers to all those affected by the recent tragedies in Japan. I’ve gone twice in the last two years and planning for a third trip between January to March of 2025. Stay safe everyone!

Our heart goes out to all the people in Noto Peninsula. Our constant prayers are with them 🙏 We have a trip planned to Japan next week to Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto. Would it be still good to come or should we postpone the trip? (In terms of safety & also the emotion of the people of Japan right now) Going through news & videos, but not really getting help on deciding this. So thought maybe you coudl help. Info on this would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance 🙏

This applies to any country/area on the Pacific Ring of Fire: know what to do when an earthquake strikes. Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, New Zealand, Melanesian/Pacific Islands, South America's West Coast, Mexico, California. These are prime earthquake areas. Basic rules: 1- If there are tall glass buildings, brick buildings, overhead power lines; *do not go outside*. There is a chance something may fall on you. 2- Get away from anything indoors that may fall on you including heavy appliances, shelving units. Most of these will be strapped to the wall, but you just don't know. Objects on shelves may topple so be wary. Get under a desk or table if you can. 3- If you are in a place near the sea and have trouble standing or if the quake seems to go for a long time. Grab your valuables/important documents and any battery backup quickly and head for higher ground. If you can't go up, go as far inland as you can. Have access to a radio and/or internet (a phone with FM is good for this). Evacuation time at a safe location may be 40 minutes to 2 hours so prepare for that. Safe locations may be marked with signs in some countries. Often they are not. The local people will have similar rules to those above. Watch them and if they are evacuating they will know where is safe; follow them. Thank you for reading and please, be safe on your travels.

Accidents do happen, we cannot predict them, but we can work to make sure it doesnt happen again. Please also look into what to do during earthquakes, some parts of japan see them pretty often!

I am visiting March 2024 for 14-16 days, should I just avoid the west coast? I wanted to see that famous fishing village where they all live on houseboats in the bay

Gotta be honest, when I was in japan in September I had the thought that ''I would not be surprised if an earthquake happened'', but what I am surprised by is the amount of damage that happened this time. I wouldn't say it is exactly like 2011 but just seeing the images was really saddening to see. A nice country while not being perfect like most still has a lot of historical value and interesting culture. Would've been ideal if the plates weren't so close to the country.

hmmm,... regular earthquakes, seasonal typhoons and active volcanoes ... definitely not my favorite place to live ...
