To Enjoy Your Trip / Earthquake Safety Tips

What is an earthquake?

An earthquake is tremors created by movements in the crust that covers the earth’s surface.
A large-scale earthquake can cause furniture to fall over, break windows and walls, and destroy buildings that have a low quake resistance.

What to do when an earthquake occurs

1　When an earthquake occurs Protect yourself

If you are indoors, crawl under a table or other sturdy item until the shaking stops. Do not run outside in panic. If you are outdoors, move away from buildings, walls, electric poles and other structures that may fall over, and find a safe place to protect yourself.

2　Evacuation Go to an evacuation shelter/area or other safe place

When the shaking stops, stay calm and move to an evacuation shelter/area or other safe place. Do not use an elevator. Do not forget to bring your passport and alien registration card.

3　Evacuation area/ shelter　Temporary staying place with emergency foods, blankets and toilet facilities

An evacuation area is a place (such as school ground or open place) to gather for people who are temporary evacuating from a disaster site. An evacuation shelter is a place where people can temporary stay and sleep (such as public facility). You can receive emergency foods, blankets and other basic items, and use toilet facilities. For the location of evacuation areas/ shelters, please see the map on page 18.
