Are you ready for the Big One?
Japan is an earthquake-prone country, and few places are free of risk of a major temblor.
Tokyo is no exception. The last catastrophic seismic event was the 1923 Kanto Great Earthquake, whose magnitude was recorded at 7.9. Taking place at around noon on Sept. 1, it led to the loss of 99,331 lives and left 447,128 structures in the region burned down.
