Seismic activity has continued in the waters near the Tokara Islands in the Noto region and Kagoshima Prefecture. Six earthquakes with a seismic intensity of 6 or higher were observed in one month last month, and the Earthquake Early Warnings issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency reached 12 times.
"Japan is a place where large earthquakes can occur anytime and anywhere, so if you feel such an earthquake and think 'I'm scared,' I would like you to take this opportunity to reconsider your preparations," said Toshihiro Shimoyama, Earthquake Information Planning Officer.
